Hey everyone. I’m trying out the discussion thread function here this week. I didn’t have time to write or find share-ables, but I did submit my final essay for the year!
Now’s you chance to share any links to articles or videos that you think fit the Odd Geography theme below:
Hey Sam! Hey fellow Odd readers! Do you know about walking videos? I’m kinda obsessed. It’s a popular genre on YouTube and the idea is a simple one: people walk around different parts of the world and film it in high res. I’ve been a fan for years, but in these days of ~limited travel~ they are a wonderful way to experience the texture of other places again. It’s so weird to see cities bustling pre-COVID, with no masks and no social distancing, may I add. I’d like to write an article about them — but in the meantime here’s the last one I watched, a rainy walk through Edinburgh 🌧https://youtu.be/yAwtLDsNGCY
Fantastic! I think they've been used on this website where you can play a game where you try to figure out which city they're walking through! https://virtualvacation.us/guess
I found this fun video on tiktok, about artichokes, which is *maybe* more relevant to your themes than it first sounds? https://www.tiktok.com/@sophiasmithgaler/video/6897964882302340354?lang=en
Absolutely! Loved this. Y'all can read more about it here https://qz.com/816544/phono-semantic-matching-corporate-branding/

I *loved* getting my detective on with that game when you posted it on Twitter!
You know this one, but this is a great Japanese UK cross over! Abroad in Japan! A great intro video https://youtu.be/0GCuvcTI090
Very good content and very droll man. His latest "Escape to Fuji" series is really fun.
