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

My Lockdown Routine

Hello guys, In this post I'm going to write about my lockdown routine. I live in an apartment with my mother and my brother. Because my brother goes to work (he works in shifts), usually I am alone with my mother nowadays. My weekdays and weekends are no longer like what they used to be, but still there are things I enjoy doing during this lockdown. For me, weekdays means online education nowadays. On weekdays, I usually get up at around 8:30 o'clock. Then I start my lessons at 9 o'clock. I usually have my breakfast in one of the break times. My lessons finish at around 1 in the afternoon. Then, I usually spend time with my mother, doing things like watching tv, chit-chatting, having snacks or doing some housework together. In the evening, we usually have dinner at around 6 p.m. Then we always have a tea time while we watch TV altogether. After spending a couple of hours with my family, I usually spend time in my bedroom. I sometimes read a book, but usually I am on social

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.
