Explore Adelaide: Part Two

Two years ago, I wrote a post called 'Explore Adelaide,' and now I am back with part two, as I have found more amazing places to see in the beautiful state. 

Part one: https://vishisviews.blogspot.com/2022/08/explore-adelaide.html


The Museum of Discovery, or MOD. as it is known, is a futuristic museum designed for young people between the ages of 15 and 25 which showcases how research shapes our understanding of the world and is inspired by science, art and innovation. It is interactive and you can watch presentations on the screens, do activities and  answer questions. 
MOD. is located in the University of South Australia and is free to enter. 




I highly recommend all booklovers visit The State Library of South Australia, located in North Terrace. There are three buildings to explore - the award-wining Catherine Spence Wing with an iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with it's 19th century Victorian style and the 1861 heritage listed Institute building, 
The Mortlock Wing has small desks for people to sit, read and work, many old books and is a beautiful place to take photos. It also showcases items from the library's collections in exhibition bays.

Walk further down the North Terrace cultural precinct and you will come to the South Australian Museum. Here there are five floors of history  and objects from early complex life to Australian Aboriginal cultural material.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city with a walk around the Adelaide Himeji Garden.
It is a traditional Japanese garden, gifted from the state's sister City Himeji in1982.  It is located in the Adelaide Park Lands and is a peaceful place for people to walk around, sit and meditate, think and read. Listen to the sounds of the birds and the water fountains.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
