Some pieces of American and British culture
Hello, everyone. Recentetly I’ve dove a bit in the American and the British culture. The things I watched were mostly TV-shows, also I learned about New York Philharmonic, about The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and played some games :)
I will start with “The Met”, which is The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and New York Philharmonic. To speak frankly I am not really into museums, galleries, exhibitions, such sort of things. But it doesn’t matter, what matters is that thanks to today’s technologies we are able to visit and experience things like museums not going there physically.
At the same time, with today’s world known problem, people who play in symphonies or orchestra can easely do their jobs remotely, while listeners enjoy music, which is perfectly demonstrated in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxQwI5Esfks
It brings up an ambiguity in my mind. On the one hand it just looks weird, and then seems to be horrible, because roughly speaking, people are, like, afraid of each other. Of course, there is a reason behind it, but still. And on the other hand, it’s great that we have such opportunity! People can gather together and see each other at least somehow.
I also visited New York Philharmonic’s kidzone and trained my memory a bit. It is all about remembering the order of played instruments.
Nnever managed to beat the hardest difficulty, but I did the easiest one! There are other games, some of them don’t work though. So, check it out, and try to beat my record x) https://www.nyphilkids.org/index.html
I knew about the Saturday Night Live, it is very famous American show. There is a video on show’s official Youtube channel, which is about soccer — Super Bowl event, that takes place every year in America. It’s full of jokes, most of them are not so good, if you ask me, but anyway it’s fun, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9tL0CqmwqI&t=1s
I also discovered that British TV is a hard thing to understand. These guys have at least SEVEN BBC channels, and I don’t really know why. They are pretty simmilar, news, and all that. And also these ITV channels. ITV2, ITV 2+1, ITV4, ITV3…
Is this math or what? You, guys, have a lack of imagination? x)
At general there are not so many differences between British and Russian TV, I guess, and it’s fine.
That was all I had for you today. Thank you for reading. Stay tuned ;)
