I started to watch Youn\’s Stay and I was shocked by the price. Our most expensive hotel is 250€ per night with breakfast for a couple so only politicians, businessmen, rich people and movie stars are staying there. Maybe because I was working for 4star hotel before I don\’t like hotels anymore… So if I ever wanted to go to South Korea for a trip I should save hard for 2 years ( I have a family now to feed😉) and come with spare 15 thousands on my account. So that\’s not happening, have other priorities for now at least I can watch 😂
It’s 250$ for one room and 450$ for four people. It comes with dinner and breakfast so for four friends traveling it’s not expensive because dinner and breakfast are covered but for a family it is quite a big budget. But it’s worth though when I watch it. They give lot of little presents and it’s like a tiny village by it’s self. But to enjoy everything, one should stay at least for two nights.
I went to Netflix and there\’s no sign of The Uncanny Counter and Run On even tough I was watching it on Sunday. I still have my old ways of watching dramas, but I find it very odd…
In Europe dramas are usually not available until they have ended in SK, unless it a worldwide premiere like Sweet Home or The School Nurse Files.
And sometimes, not even that. For instance 18 Again isn’t still available 🙁
Ireland is Europe though. I think the problem is that they’ve detected that I’m signing in from France so shows were taken out from the list. It’s so disappointing. I returned to my old ways to watch ongoing dramas and I won’t sign on Netflix anymore, what’s the point 😡
Oh no! I just saw your post, and was going to let you know that they’re still on Netflix for me (I’m in England). However, licensing may be very different between England and Ireland and Spain, especially now.😭
Day 26: A Book That Changed Your Opinion About Something
Advertising: the smiling carrion. By Oliviero Toscani
I’ve come across this little book when I was a teenager (I wasn’t the traditional one but kind of a revolutionary kid fighting against everything not normal considered normal). It opened my eyes and left it opened afterwards. I also dreamed of Levi’s jeans as the best ones although didn’t think of the pollution and many diseases which their production causes and that we pay horrendous money just for the label although they are made in the same factories as the cheapest versions are (very little paid workers, mostly underaged with awfully long hours with one little break). Those ones made before Chinese and Indian market opened to the West were made in the US and were excellent quality, so when I discovered that my dad had one of those I had to lose some weight to fit into it because I had those muscular “honey tights”. But here’s a link which swiftly explains the book and you can read about it if interested.:
The other one I have to mention is the book of the books
The Holy Bible
As a Christian, not practicing anymore because of the hypocrisy of the church as mostly as political institution, I was having classes of catechism after the red wall had fallen in 1989. I had so many questions I didn’t get the right answer for so I took it into my own hands and started to read respectively the Old Testament and the New Testament. I got a nice copy for the 18ths birthdays and one from my best friend which was the Protestant version so I could compare the differences between them. I was disgusted by stories in Old Testament and more disgusted by people in general because it’s stories are repeating in every decade of our existence and we didn’t learn from it. I loved the New Testament but didn’t like the apostles letters and other things added to it. I understood while the church is using them so much in ceremonies and preaching. It’s slightly or completely opposite to what Christ was trying to teach his followers. In my last confession I discussed this with the priest and he told me that he fully understand my points and that it’s my decision but later growing older I might come back to them.
Not the last one I wanted to talk about but this one is a good guide through understanding of those little things which makes huge difference.
The first volume of The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.
Well back at high school we’ve had a list of books for obligatory reading. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was one of them and because I love spoilers I read it after I knew what’s the story about. Everyone, including my lovely teacher, consider the first volume very boring and tends to skip it. As there’s no surprise I tend to be different from others I’ve found it much more interesting as the second one. It was so well described as if I was browsing the streets with writer and admiring the architecture which disappeared with Napoleon’s yearning for greatness in destroying most of it to create those enormous boulevards. First time I visited Paris was when I was 28 years old and I was kind of disappointed from it, didn’t understand that hype it was getting but with each new visit I start to like it. I still prefer other cities and find it pitiful that all the beauty and charm had to give place to more buildings and more concrete.
Ok, this is very funny and very strange that usually knetz are very fast when something is plagiarized from K-pop but the waters are unusually quiet when it comes to GOT7…
Just Right video was plagiarized completely, poor singer has to take the blame, when the producer and director should have some consciousness before putting it on YouTube. The most funny thing is that at the end they’ve posted the usual warning about copyrights and in the note it’s written that it is inspired by GOT7 and BTS.🤦😂
There’re many from writers who had followed realism at the end of 19’s and the beginning of the 20’s century and between wars literature and after. I love Guy Maupassant, Charles Dickens and other classics but I love writers from my native country from that times as well. They’re very hard to translate but they’re shining diamonds among those well-known big names everyone knows. Most of them were doctors or lawyers or bank clerks and had an excellent observation eye. Those short stories or novels make me cry and they are still actual although more than 100 years passed.
She was banned in many countries as a bad example for kids and my son loves her so much as well Emil is really like him. I knew movies but not the books so I’m really glad that we have had for one year children’s literature I would miss so many of them I didn’t know. Astrid Lindgren remains one of my favourite children’s writer. Back then I knew only Ronia the Robber’s daughter from the movie and then I’ve found it in my library and it was my favourite until I discovered other exciting books.
It makes me happy that she is known in the US as well.
G. P. Taylor daughter’s health condition became worst, he was writing these exciting series for her, so he dedicated all of his time for her – no time for writing
I love children’s and youth literature, mainly that’s what I’m reading and finding pleasure in ( I’m a sucker for very well or wierdly illustrated ones) and than classics, it’s really hard for me finding a contemporary adult book which will get me hooked until the end. I don’t know why but it looks like most of recent writers found the same writing recipes. Fortunately there are some exceptions.
I got to see it for the first time as an au-pair girl while looking for 3 kids in England and because of the little one I saw it ntimes and I will do it anytime…
