Hello everyone,

In this post, I'm going to tell you 3 things that you can do during lockdown. I hope you find them useful and give them a try.

1. Visit museums online

Van Gogh paintings in Musée d’Orsay

Do you like visiting museums? If yes, there are a lot of famous museums you can visit online. Thanks to Google's street view technology, you can visit some museums as if you're walking inside them. Here are a few examples:

The British Museum : You're right in front of Ramses, the mighty pharaoh of the Ancient Egypt! In this virtual tour, you can see some very famous historical artefacts. For example, the Rosetta Stone is also in this museum.

Musée d’Orsay : You can see some of the amazing paintings by Van Gogh and Claudie Monet in this museum.

Here is the complete list of museums you can visit with Google street view technology: Museums with Google Street View

2. Learn another language

How about learning another language besides English? There are many apps that will help you. For example, DuoLingo is my favourite language learning app, and I use it to learn French.

German, French and Russian are also available for Turkish learners in DuoLingo.

3. Get a pet

Pets are awesome! During the pandemic, it is a good idea to adopt a pet if you don't have one. They will become your lovely companions during this time of boredom.

How about a pandemic friend?

In conclusion, I know that lockdown is a tough time, but there are still very good things we can do. I have shared a couple of ideas with you. I hope you find them useful. Let me know if you have already been doing any of them in the comments section. Thanks for reading.

Goodbye!

A book review

Hello everybody, In this post, I'm going to write a book review. This is a very important book for me. First of all, let me tell you the basics about it. It's called "Of Mice and Men", which was translated as " Fareler ve İnsanlar " into Turkish. It is a novel, but it is not very long (novella). It was written by John Steinbeck, a famous American author. It was first published in 1937, and it has got 107 pages originally. This is the cover of the book in first edition. The main characters of the book are George and Lennie. George is short, but he is a strong man. Also, he is Lennie's best friend. On the other hand, Lennie is very tall and very strong, but he is mentally disabled. In other words, he is like a baby. He cannot do anything without George's help. He always asks George before he does something. Lennie and George in the film version of the book. George and Lennie live together. They have a dream; they want to make a lot of money and buy a f...

What to watch during lockdown?

Hello, In this post, I'm going to tell you 3 TV shows you can watch during lockdown. We cannot go out much because of the pandemic. So, it would be good to know some nice TV shows to watch during this time. The first one is an anime series. It's called Haikyu!! . Hinata (the boy with ginger hair) is the main character. It is about a high school student who wants to be a professional volleyball player. He joins the volleyball club in his school, but the other students think he is too short for volleyball. However, he doesn't give up and strives to be a great volleyballer. If you like animes and especially the ones about a sport, you must see this. Second is a talk show.

My favourite artist

Hello everyone, In this post, I'm going to write about my favourite artist. He is called Banksy. He is from England, and he is a street artist. He has got millions of followers on social media. For example, more than 10 million people follow him on Instagram. There is something really interesting about him: Nobody knows who he really is. In other words, he is an anonymous artist. He just paints a picture on a wall (mural) in a city somewhere around the world, and it gets famous right away, but he usually does it in England. Unfortunately, some of his artwork is erased afterwards because people don't know it was Banksy, who painted it. Sometimes people erase his artwork because they don't like the message in it, or it is wiped out because some say it is vandalism. Here are a couple of examples of his artwork that I like. A Banksy graffiti about global warming Banksy made this in Palestine. Banksy on refugee crisis I like his art because it always has a message. He draws abo...
