The Potato-ification of Schools is now Worldwide by @mobbs

I have a funny story that came to mind while reading your post... Before getting married, my father-in-law had an interesting observation and distrust of me (and his daughter) to be able to take care of ourselves... He said, "You don't even
know how to light a fire." 😃 I clearly remember those words, despite being said over 20 years ago... 😂
I suppose we weren't better than your students... We know the theory, but improvisation, going by the flow, time to adapt to hard circumstances, practically use the knowledge... That was always the problem... I didn't learn those things in school, but I did in my real life, along with my parents, and later on, by myself...
Not sure if the current schooling is making the same mistake, but the problem is that I see many children having 0 interaction with parents, no "practical" way of living, no camping, no playing by the river, in the forest, helping out with home chores, etc.

Old But Gold! An Old Coffee Shop In The Heart Of A Busy City by @anggreklestari

So happy to hear from you after some time! I'm glad you're doing well and enjoying visiting places that make you feel good. Yes, the place doesn't look very modern, but I know from personal experience that these picturesque places are usually very pleasant, both in terms of service and the products they offer. Besides, taking a little coffee break in the middle of a noisy city is always a good idea. I loved your review; it's made me want to visit it myself.

Shapes and details in trees by @wilfredocav

I have always loved trees and on my walks I always keep them in mind to photograph them, especially when I go to forest areas. They have those interesting details you are talking about, both in their flowers, the bark of the trunk, and in their branches, their shapes, as if they were arms.
Your composition is beautiful, especially the shots you take of the treetops trying to capture what's up there. I think they want to touch the sky.

Dig Dig Japan, a channel with a unique and relaxed way of learning about Japan [ENG/ESP] by @ineyashami

A very original channel in terms of content and production. Japanese culture is very interesting because it is so different, but especially in relation to food. I really like the way they present them, without talking, just with the sound of the environment and especially the sound of the packaging of each of the products.
I consume a lot of ASMR because I love especially water and I have also seen many videos with this type of ASMR and this channel does something very original with the products and it is interesting not only what you hear but also to learn what they eat, which often differs too much from our habits.

EL GYM ha llegado a mi vida: Día de piernas 🦵🏼 🔥 [ESP-ENG] by @zgaetano

I spent the entire month of January training and dieting, and although I can't see any physical changes yet, I've noticed an improvement in my endurance and I've felt better overall. I think anything that helps physically is worthwhile, and in your case, it's about adding a little more power to the work you're already doing...

The First Day of the 77th Founding Anniversary of our Town, Manticao Misamis Oriental. Highlighting the Newly Rehabilitated Marcelino F. Ratunil Parks and Plaza, and the Bibingka Festival Street Dancing Competition! 😇☺️🙌 by @godlovermel25

I love these small-town anniversaries! People gather around, celebrate their homeplace, and it's always a lot of fun... Seeing your photos, it looks like it was a very colorful event! Those dancing groups are adding a special touch to it, and it's great to see many children following the event... It's definitely much better to have fun with other kids in real life, outdoors, than to sit in front of a game console or a mobile phone...
