The 50thThe darker the darkness, the stronger the light.
What I want to do now is to get together with like-minded friends at a restaurant and share a meal. The new pneumonia has successfully swept this not-so-luxurious pleasure right from under our feet. This self-restraint reminds us how important it is to do things that we normally do without paying much attention to them.
Chatting with those closest to you, daily shopping, and work to get around. All of these restrictions, in addition to the horror of the disease, cause stress. Domestic violence has begun to spread around the world as families are forced to spend extended periods of time at home. Add to this the uncertain economic situation, and even the saints seem to be going the wrong way.
In the midst of all this, I can only thank all the medical professionals who are struggling around the world. I would like to applaud those who take the Hippocratic oath but fight diseases in harsh conditions, not at 8 o'clock at night, but at all hours of the day.
However, this situation will one day subside (or so we hope).
I had originally planned to travel this time of year. I had been planning and looking forward to it since late last year, but cancelled everything as of early March.
We do not know how far the virus will continue to spread, so we are unable to schedule any business trips, let alone travel. Shows and exhibitions in Europe have been canceled, and all travel for fashion professionals has also been cancelled. I am worrying about whether the airlines will be all right.
We, the media producers, can't go out for interviews either. We, the producers of the magazine, can't go out to cover the event, because our job is to move around and meet people. I had a vague idea for the next issue of Unplugged to focus on "travel," but I don't think it will be possible under the current circumstances.
When will everyone be able to travel?
From what I hear, google and UNESCO have started a service to guide you to world heritage sites, so it might be fun to go around using google earth or google street.
Nevertheless, no matter how little jet lag or coronas you may have, virtual tours have their own limitations. It is not a real experience nor a trip unless you enjoy it with all your senses. For now, let's just sort of muddle through with such a tour, crouch down deep, and find the right time to jump.
And since I've been cooped up at home for a while and haven't spent much of my allowance, my next trip will be richer.
I'm going to buy a new trunk like this.
