We've all been programmed - at all levels including school, work and socal - to think, act, and live in a virtual world under various restrictions. We have Google Classroom; we attend virtual scientific conferences; we watch Netflix movies.
With time, the good news is that we are now gravitating toward out-of-home activities after relaxed social distancing. Who in their right mind would choose not to go out?
Going to live concert by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra last night has been one of our best family activities after the fifth wave of Omicron. In my opinion, none is greater than their idea of blending music with the Blue Planet II nature documentary.
As I sat staring at charming puffins rattling their beaks together after fish hunting expedition, mouth hanging wide open (mine wider than puffin holding a mouthful of sand eels), I was in awe and blown away by the matching music on stage. Live music by an 80-piece symphonic orchestra in a concert hall. Giant screen of the BBC marine life series, side by side. Ebb and flow. Mind-blowing. I was elated.
