Have anyone travel there? They're on my bucket list. Those cliffs dwellings...ga zing out into the crystal blue ocean.
-
Nope, not yet. I'm thinking Santorini first. I want to explore the ancient Greek relic. I like to hear the Greek people's thoughts about their legends. I notice they're very polite and friendly toward tourists. Their reputation is their hospitality. After that, Amalfi because I want to taste their famous, genuine, original pizza and spaghetti. Another thing I like is the scene where the sun set behind the mountain. It's so beautiful and eye-catching. I saw that scene in the movie of Only You. The casts, Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei, both are Italians perform their role as lovers in their countryside aka Amalfi.
-
Good to know another shares my bucket list. It'll be so amazing sitting in one of those terrace coffee shop/restaurants on a beautiful day, puffy clouds, blue sky, and look out into the vast ocean, crashing waves, beach, seagulls, fresh air,etc.. Nice!
Movie like ONLY YOU and similar should be made in such a place, romantic setting for romantic movies.
-
I probably like to go to major city like Athens first then board a ferry to Santorini. I wanna capture images of all these nearby islands with my phone.
I thought I wanna experience traveling on a boat like apostle Paul and his apprentice did when they went on a mission to Cyprus.
Not during the thunderstorm. Heck no uh huh. :D

Yes, I think they do. ;)
Hey Dok_Champa, have you ever watch Taiwanese + Korean drama tv show like Love at The Aegean Sea?
https://mydramalist.com/921-love-of-the-aegean-sea/cast (https://mydramalist.com/921-love-of-the-aegean-sea/cast)
Tv show dubbed with Hmong classic song: https://youtu.be/xAWVOVMY00Y (https://youtu.be/xAWVOVMY00Y)
Romantic show like this took place at another small island between Greece and Turkey. The housing look pretty similar to Santorini.

Yes that would be something and no worry about thunderstorm unless "ye men of little faith." Another place, Rome, want to see that famous fountain where you make wishes as depicted in "Roman Holiday."
Yes I've seen Love of the Algean Sea and the two love birds visited Santorini and they missed their boat had to spend a night there. Another romantic movie in a romantic setting.

Nah, I do have faith. It just that I don't wanna get myself wet and my phone drown to the bottom of the ocean. All my images from previous tours are in memory card. ;D
Rome, ahhhhh... I like the sound of that word which reminds me the "Renaissance Arts". It got me thinking about the appreciation of Michelangelo's masterpieces, the Sistine Chapel, marble sculpture of David, and the marble sculpture of Pieta Bonded. Not sure you're fond of arts also.
Wish fountain. Hmm I remember that part in Only You. I want to have ever lasting love life and fortune with someone.
Oh I see you do have seen that drama show. It's sad that the main guy, Enqiue, was caged by his mother and he was also killed by his fiancé at the end. :(
Yesterday and right now I'm watching that drama all over again from 1 to 40 Episodes. I can watch them for free. >:D

Sure sure on the phone thing ::) ::) OH, yes, we are living in the 21st century so you're OK even during a storm ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D If a small boat is a little worrisome, take a CRUISE ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D the biggest ship and you're be fine O0 O0 O0 O0
Yes I know a thing or two about art. Sistine Chapel...would n't it be nice if one can lie down on the floor and look up at the ceiling. For things like that you really have to look into each details, each line, expressions. David, hmmm, I know it's just art but I would have to really look from an artist eye otherwise I'll glance and go.
Oh yes, that fountain is Trevi Fountain, this one:
(https://cdn.theculturetrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/trevi-flickr-benjamin-watson-1024x682.jpg)
Yes sad ending indeed. Wasn't the finance committed to a mental institution? The thing w/ drama is that the obessive person never have real love for the other..he/she just wants to possess the other, put the other in misery just as they are in misery. If they can't be happy, the other can't either. Plain selfish.
Oh, a while back I was watching Under the Tuscan Sun https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328589/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328589/)
and I got inspire to visit Tuscany. If I were to go to Rome, I'll take a detour to Tuscany as well, not too far.

Dok_Champa, I would like to get on a cruise ship, however, the transportation that big cannot swerve around many islands surrounding Greece. It'll take the ship a long time to move and spin its propeller to avoid crashing.

Good thing you know a few things about arts. I know some certain type of people that enjoy glancing at Roman arts and listening to the speaker tell the story behind these arts while other type of people that do not enjoy arts but rather come to Italy for the sake of vacation trip.
I haven't seen that movie yet. I did saw it as VHS at Blockbuster when it hasn't been out of business in my hometown.
I'll keep in mind whenever I have time to watch it on the internet. :)
I had to rewatch the series and understand the story's plot. I don't think it's the fiancé's fault that she killed her soon-to-her-husband. The root of her clingy behavior was from her father and Enqi's mother. They planned an arranged marriage by force just for the sake of expanding business and associating family wealth. The reason Enqi dislikes his fiancé because she's boring and she's not his type of gal. When Enqi met the other girl, Xiao Tong, he thinks of her as a platonic friend. This Greek root word, platonic, has two meanings one is pertaining to, involving, or characterized by Platonic love as a striving toward love of spiritual or ideal beauty and two, being a relationship marked by the absence of romance or sex. His feeling toward her grew each time he spend with her on Aegean sea. And so is Xiao Tong. The more his mother nag him away from the things he loves most, freedom, the more he miss Xiao Tong's wild, carefree personality.

Back in Paul's time, thunderstorm or not, I can't assure you not drowning but in these days and time on a ferry, boat, or ship, you'll be fine. If ever a time comes, get seatbeat :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Anyway, yes their love for one another grew and sad ending indeed. If this was a real life drama, I wonder if she ever got w/ that guy that sold his mother's Gold necklace for her, the one that went on the trip w/ her, that guy.

At that time Paul and Barnabas separated after one of them disagree to do what is right of their own. Barnabas took Mark and they head to Cyprus while Paul went to Silas. They knew the storm will be coming. So they walk many miles.
You may wonder why there were so many islands surrounding Santorini. That's because in the past around 1956 earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurred and the lands cracked and were left damaged and divided. Until 1970 tourist attraction was created.
It may so sound pleasant to hear that there'll be no natural disasters in the summertime, but not in the winter time.

I don't think Xiao Tong gonna ever fall for that filial guy, Li Yao Xiang. Because she called him "Jinx" so many times in every episode, she friendzoned him. She only wants the main guy. Li Enqi has imprinted in her heart. :-X
-
If this is real life, I'd say never know. Li Yi Xiang really likes Xiao Tong and maybe in times... Never say never..
-

Never :D
-
No way...
-
I think Li Yi Xiang and Lian Yi Qian (https://wiki.d-addicts.com/images/2/2b/Baoyilin.jpg) are perfect for each other. The way he made her laugh and she started showing interest in him but he only interest in his mother's dragon necklace.
If I were him I'll ask her for a date at the ancient Greek temple and ferry around the creek area. I might as well woo her until she says "yes" for marriage. Her beauty in the movie is very mesmerizing no wonder Greek guys came after her. 8)
-
Oh, I was too focus on the other characters and don't remember her. Isn't she one of Xia Tong's friend?
The funny thing about Kdrama and or Asian drama is the person you like always like someone else thus the drama.
-
Oh, I was too focus on the other characters and don't remember her. Isn't she one of Xia Tong's friend?
Not really. You kinda mix her up with the other gal. Xiao Tong's colleague was Wei-Wei, aka the snitch girl who saw Li Yi Xiang's foster brother who mistaken walk into the women's restroom.
Li Yi Qian is the fiancée of Enqi. Here's the short bio of her character that I got from online source:
Yi Qian is En Qi's fiancée. She loves him very much, so that's why she always asks Yao Xiang questions concerning En Qi's ex-girlfriend, who later that she discovers is Xiao Tong. After En Qi dumps her, she practically goes berserk, becoming even more evil than En Qi's mother. Showing signs of mental problems, her father puts her in a mental hospital. But she outsmarts a nurse, escapes and kills En Qi. When the police question her, she tells them the stories of Plato.
This actress was cheerful in the beginning but turned into a psycho in the end. She didn't really show her emotions for En Qi at first and was shock to find out that he didn't love her. But they got back together thanks to En Qi's mom and they all returned to Canada. During the five-year period, En Qi was nicer to her and she finally accepted the engagement. I think that Yi Qian looked way better than Xiao Tong, especially on her engagement day. So how come En Qi thought of her as a sister? This actress looked great in all of her outfits and hairdo and I like her way better than Chae since I've seen her before in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, another series starring her and Alec. Why couldn't En Qi stay with her and Yao Xiang stay with Xiao Tong? If they did, then this series wouldn't end tragically. And she was smart enough to escape from the mental hospital. I guess I would have liked her more if she hadn't killed En Qi.
The funny thing about Kdrama and or Asian drama is the person you like always like someone else thus the drama.
This happen to you? Aww too bad for you.
Not to me.
You may recognize this Korean actress from the Hmong dubbed version of Kdrama show, Nkauj See and Chi Meeb.
https://i.mydramalist.com/BmgR6c.jpg
At first I was like Ewww she's freaking ugly.
Until she cast in another Kdrama, Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang (2005), her beauty shine so brightly. I had a crush on her.
In real life she's very pretty with/without make up. Even she looks good in fashion.

-
Yi Qian, you knew of her prior to this role and so you already liked her so of course makes sense haha. I'm not familiar w/ her work.
Of course, Kdrama/Asian drama need drama otherwise boy meets girl/fall in love w/ girl/marry girl. End of story. There's got to be some climatic events to make it interesting, reflect the challenges of love and life like in real life.
Good for you on finding the one you like and likes you back O0
Yes, that delightful girl is beautiful and watched a few of her Kdramas...
-
Come on now, don't get the wrong idea that I like her crazy pov side. :D :P
I only like her innocent, sweet side from the beginning where she traveled to Santorini and she bump into Li Yi Xiang and helping him find the hotel.
I wonder if any gal create some series of drama and I had to follow along the ride. ;D
What can I say? I gotta be wise to pick the gal I like, not depending on the appearance but the personality. I'm sure the personality is vital to the outside.
Average looking: taking care of her body, exercise daily, eat right, her skin glow young and healthy
E.g. Jennifer Lopez, Maggie Q, Gong Li, Michelle Yeon
Gorgeous looking: ruining her appearance with plastic surgery, do drugs, eat junk food, skin messed up
E.g. Jennifer Aniston, Lindsay Lohan, Khloe Kardashian, Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Kylie Jenner, Courteney Cox
Please list of her kdramas that you've watched.
-
She's mainly supporting roles... I've watched her in Ad Genius Lee Tae-Baek, A Man Called God, Boys Over Flowers.
-
For the last two days ago, I've just watched all 16 episodes on Advertising Genius Lee Tae Baek. I gotta admit it's a good show. I got addicted to comedy and romantic sides. I like it because I'm familiar with the advertising industry and the team of graphic designers. It's pretty similar as Public Relation operates to deliver messages across two media, television and prints.
Dayum. The gorgeous looking actress, Han Chae-Young, cast the similar role of a beeitchy gal who haven't a good life from another kdrama in Autumn in My Heart.
The other two kdrama shows that Han Chae-Young cast in, I didn't finished watching them. I got bored by knowing how cliché the storylines go. ;D
-
Wow, glad you watch that show. Did you like the genius way the main guy came up with advertisement. . Did you see the stairs advertisement :D :D :D
Oh, I wonder which of us gets to Santorini first? I think I'm probably heading there first :D :D Maybe. But I will eventually get there.

I'm impressed with Tae Baek's mountain stair concept. However, it didn't convince the bad people who had treated the people with disability like they're nothing but hindrance. What Tae Baek was doing to the people with disability is to raise their spiritual side when tackling hardships no matter where they're at. E.g. similar concept as it was for the group of people in wheelchairs playing basketball with their hands and arms instead of worrying about running without their useless legs. O0
I'm thinking we should go to Santorini together if I'm in the same state where you're at. Same thing as I was Li Yi Xiang and You are Xiao Tong when they went to Aegean sea together. :D Since you are in far, far, faaarrrrr away land, you may go first so you can tell me everything about your firsthand experience while you're at Santorini. If I go first I may do the same. ;D

Wouldn't that be something, re-live the movie ;D ;D ;D Sure, if you go first do tell and if I go first I'll do the same..

It'll be great if we share the expense and go together from one place to another without getting lost. I'll start the drama and you ride along with the ongoing arguments.
I was expecting you to go first. You would tell me all the pitfalls and the secret lairs in Santorini so I won't have to spend a single dollar on boring tours. Anyway, if i'm there I'm gonna rent a good DSLR camera from a shop in Santorini. Once I'm done capturing all the good spots I'll use the SD memory card to transfer all the images files to Google Drive. After that, post pics in here. :D

Just found out why the Greeks call one island Aegean Sea. That's because King Aegean thought his son, Theseus, died and haven't came back home to Athen. So he jumped off the cliff and drown himself in the ocean. His people named after him.
Delphi was a city named after Apollo, God of the Sky. There's a time ordinary men got stuck in the middle of the violent ocean wave. Apollo transform himself into a dolphin and save them from distress. He demanded them to be priests and build a temple so they worship him. The Greeks went to Delphi to see the oracles.
Delphi from Athen

Thanks for the brief Greek history. Whomever get there first, check if there's more Greek legends about the place and surroundings. For me, I'm more interested gazing out into the blue sea sitting in one of those cliffs side eatery...or resorts. I could sit there all morning w/ great company.
-
For me, I'm interested in meeting Greeks and listen more to their folklores. Also ask for candid pictures with them. :)
-
Yes the Greeks has interesting folklore and those folklore can be pretty sad too.
Also, the Greek God, they all reminds me of mere mortal w/ mortal feelings (jealousy, love, hate, etc..) and human problems and whomever came across them they didn't like, they took out their revenge simply because they were Gods, could do it.
Take the case of Medusa.. Poseidom took advantage of her in the temple of Athena and in turn, Athena turns her into the monster we know her to be...
Now, what about Poseideom, he got away scot free!
So many folklore like these and would be interesting to learn more of them at the source.

Rank from worst to best Gods and Goddesses from Greek Mythology. E.g. 1= worst and 12= best
1. Zeus
2. Poseidon
3. Athena
4. Artemis (Apollo's twin sister)
5. Eris (Goddess of Discord)
6. Ares (God of War)
7. Aphrodite (Goddess of Love)
8. Hermes
9. Apollo (Artemis's twin brother)
10. Hades
11. Hephaestus (God of Blacksmith)
12. Prometheus
Only four Gods that are level-headed help out others in troubled times, Apollo, Hades, Hephaestus, and Prometheus.
Zeus and Athena contradict the law and order they violated. Both are lunatics because of their jealousy and bigotry.

You seem to know your Greek Mythology O0
I know a little bit too. When I was in college, I came across them and became intrigued. Actually, I become interested in folk tales from around the world and came across Greek Mythology.
Here's classic movie of Greek Mythology of Perseus "Clash of the Titans" I thought it's good/not bad:

I like classic movies :D :D things of old...

I like classic movies :D :D things of old...
Back in 1982, my parents and I went to visit our relatives for ua neeg plig. They got this nice color TV and antenna so they have cable. I watched with the younger relatives when they watch the classic movie aka Clash of the Titans just like you have linked from YouTube. As a kid, I didn't know that Greek Mythology was Greek's folklore. I thought the Meka made up the story and put it in Hollywood. Similar to Clint Eastwood's wild west collection. My dad got this thick @$$ encyclopedia so I scanned entire book to find anything interesting until I came across a small image that shows a collapsed temple with pillars. I realized Greek folklore ain't made up. When my parents could afford a color TV, I always watch my favorite shows especially cartoons and educational programs. I finally able to watch Clash of the Titans along with other classic shows as Dr. Who, War of the World, and The Three Stooges every Saturday morning til midnight.
As I grew up, I finally learned the story behind that classic movie.
Until 2010, a new movie was released. It's a remake of the old version of Clash of the Titans.
https://youtu.be/K57aIbpF_Co (https://youtu.be/K57aIbpF_Co)
https://youtu.be/FY00zwMZsqM (https://youtu.be/FY00zwMZsqM)
https://youtu.be/GrIJLWISdlQ (https://youtu.be/GrIJLWISdlQ)
This is when Limewire and Torrent were available to everyone so anyone could download any movie for free.
Two years later, a sequel of Clash of the Titans was released. It's called Wrath of the Titans.
https://youtu.be/Xs7fzOrUopc (https://youtu.be/Xs7fzOrUopc)
Yep, I watched the new releases.
-
I've watched all those remake/recent releases but I still think the OLD version is the best. When I first saw that movie, the scene where the vulture carrying the spirit of Andromeda, it captivated me of the Hmong folklore of liv nyug where back in Laos the cries of liv nyug call the spirit of a living person and whomever got called end up dead later. I remember once back in Laos when we lived in a hut in our rice field, a liv nyug cried and my mother would make chopping sounds on a wood cutting board. So that memory stayed with me and that particular scene reminds me of hmong folklore of liv nyug.
Love the 3 Stooges, Larry, Moe, & Curly - hilarious and you don't find comedy like that anymore :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
I love classic movies including cartoons (Tom & Jerry, the Smurfs, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite. etc..) , superheroes (Flash Gordon, She-ra/He-man, Super Friends, tc..) romance drama, anything old. In fact, even love classic music. Back in college, I was probably the only one listening to Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, etc..
Recognized any of those Cartoons series ;D ;D ;D ;D I love love Care Bears & the Smurfs!!!
-
From the director's perspective, he wanted the characters in the remakes to be more dramatic and theatrical than just poetic and ancient.
Perhaps he wanted to make $$$$ out of the original too.
I never heard of Liv Nyug from my parents. They never told me about this demon. My mother once told me and my siblings some bedtime stories about Nuj Nphlaib thiab Nkauj Ntxawm, the father came back from the dead and ate one of his children, and the tiger came to haunt Hmong people.
Yes I love those classic TV shows. Even nowadays there are classic movies and TV shows available in certain platforms such as Tubi TV, Pluto TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Netflix.
He-Man and She-Ra are on YouTube for free, but some missing videos. On Amazon Prime you gotta purchase whole series/volumes for such a limited price.
Last several weeks ago I just finished watching all 8 seasons on Different Strokes. Man, that show is one long @$$ series. When I was little, I had a crush on the actress, Dana Plato, who cast as "Kimberly Drummond". Throughout the entire series, she went through different stages of beauty. Until 1984 she got married and got pregnant. Her life was a mess. It's sad that she had to go through the troubles get into overdose drug addictions and numerous shoplifting. I couldn't believe she died young at the age of 34 from suicide. She's pretty similar to James Dean when he's careless about his drug addiction and reckless driving. He died from car accident.
Ah well, every actor and actress has his/her own problem dealing with fame and finance.
Then my attention went to another actress on Different Strokes, Kim Richard, a major babe who cast as Ruthie Alder. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/fe/0a/36fe0a07f983bd80c1fe5937f38385e0.jpg
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3b/99/7a/3b997ae96d76ba77e8140cef45359503.jpg
Adolescent age, she cast in Escape to Witch Mountain since 1975.

Teenage year, she cast in Tuff Turf since 1985 right after Different Strokes. The gal in the red tank top. I watched this movie back in 2014.

I like the storyline of the original Clash of The Titans , the dialogue, characters, so much better and yes too much computer simulation, dramatic, poetic as you mention can ruin the remake.
Dana, I know Dana :D :D and all three stars of Different Strokes later suffered financially after the show ended.

This is Dana's last interview prior to her death, the next day:

and her son also died from suicide:

I know Kim too :D :D :D
She and her sister Kyle Richard were stars in Housewives of Beverly Hills and Kyle Richard was a child star in Little House On The Prairie. I watched that show religiously and Melissa Gilbert was such an amazing child actor and Michael Landon...amazi ng.
Were you a fan of Little House?
OH, Paris Hilton is her niece since mother is her older sister, Kathy Hilton of different father and here are the three sisters:

So those two were your crush :D :D Did you put up posters of them in your room hahha
-
Dana Plato's interview with Howard Stern bore me to death. She hardly talks. The only way she could socialize with anyone through movie acting and shooting photography. O0
I couldn't afford a poster when I was a kid. That'll be for the people who are 17 and the above. :D
I can see the resemblance between Kyle Richards and Paris Hilton, body structure and status quo.
I watched Little House on the Prairie too. I hadn't have the chance to watch entire seasons because it stop airing somewhere around 1980. Yes, it's a good show. I didn't realized the Ingall family were Jewish including the director and the writer of her novel, Little House on The Prairie. I wasn't paying attention to the details. All I care about is drama on that show.

The Menudo? Ricky Martin is the most famous member.. and here's their most memorable song (for me):

What?! You haven't seen the show in blue highlights? I believe they were pretty new in the 80's.
I guess you're not a gamer-girl then. The first anime version as The Legend of Zelda was inspired by a Japanese guy, Shigeru Miyamoto, who created the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Here's a short biography: https://strong-wp.prod.fruition.net/games/the-legend-of-zelda/ (https://strong-wp.prod.fruition.net/games/the-legend-of-zelda/)

The Legend of Zelda became the biggest franchise for the fans. I'm one of them since I played it on every platforms. I like adventures.

Nope. I haven't heard the band called The Menudo. It doesn't ring a bell. Sorry. :-\
However, I do have heard the female singer, Tiffany, sang one of her song, All This Time, on my uncle's blank cassette that he had recorded.
https://youtu.be/GwOBqHszJLk
Along with the rest of 80's songs that my uncle also recorded from the radio. Dayum! These songs trigger a flashback in my head right now.

I know the Legend of Zelda it's just not my thing because like you mentioned, I'm not a game girl. I've tried Animal Crossing and Pac-man..but always get eaten ;D ;D ;D ;D
Ricky Martin started his singing career w/the band The Menudo
Yes those songs bring back that nostalgia feeling...
This song was playing when I was a young farm laborers back in New Jersey:

It's good you know The Legend of Zelda. Not sure you're into adventures as well as I do. If you have played both Animal Crossing and Pac-Man then you're already a gamer-girl. :)
Not sure which Ricky Martin you were referring to. If you're talking about the famous, handsome Latin singer that most young girls were crazy and fantasize about then I had seen him appeared on musical artists' oldest platform aka MTv several times.
Yeah, my uncle's radio recording got me hooked. In the 90's, I started watching and listening to their songs on MTv.
Here's the history of MTv:
1. https://youtu.be/Y6jz65YRCy8
2. https://youtu.be/p73U5Yfabho
I heard that classic song, The Cars - Drive, at the mall. Someone ran the store played the song I remembered it well back in 2006. That's my first impression.
-
I'd watch Little House on the Prairie for few days. I'm on season two now. Some episodes run 1 hr and some run less 50 minutes. That's pretty long. Longer than any tv shows I have watched. ;D
Laura Ingalls - not smart but very tomboyish, friendly, extroverted
Mary Ingalls - smart, but insensitive to everything, introverted
Nellie Olsen - smart, bratty, showoff, tattle teller
Willie Olsen - bratty, braggart, gossipy, bully
Olga (Kim Richards) - somewhat resemble Laura and Mary.

I agree with the speaker in the video. Disney's Hercules ain't the true story of what the adults think of ancient Greek.
Walt Disney really wants to make $$$ off ancient history from other culture. So the kids believe and get enchanted.

The movie, Troy in 2004, cast by Brad Pitt as Achilles and Eric Bana as Hector and Orlando Bloom as Paris and Diane Kruger as Helen. The story itself was so messed up. There were no deities as Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Poseidon, and Zeus involved in the storyline. According to the story of Troy, the deities play the minor roles: Hera and Athena aiding the Spartans while Aphrodite, Apollo, and Poseidon aiding the people of Troy. Zeus wanna break up the fight.
-
There's 9 seasons of Little House and a total of 184 episodes. This should keep you busy for the entire Winter! Ok, already done w/ season 1. Maybe not the entire Winter but month of November.
Troy must be a boring movie because I don't remember much.
If you like to watch shows like Little House, the next one watch Anne of Green Gable..LOVE LOVE LOVE that mini-series, 2 episodes. Watched the one staring Megan Fellow.

Whoa! You wanna catch up to me when I'm watching Little House on the Prairie, huh? :D
I finally see Kim's younger sister, Kyle Richards, play as Alicia Sanderson on episode 8, season 2. Dayum! They do look alike when they were kids.
Here's how it suppose to happened in Troy.
https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/paris.html (https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/paris.html)
I'm not gonna watch Anne of Green Gable this month and December because I'm gonna be super wooper busy with other chores.
Maybe spring and summer breaks 2022.
-
No, not watching Little House and I meant you already finished season 1 and onto to season 2, wow! I can't handle all 9 seasons..
Anne of Green Gable would be a nice break from Little House since it's only 2 episodes. She's going to make you smile and more...
Oh, that was a long read on Troy...and yes very different from the movie. The movie seem to focus more on Achilles..
Back to Amalfi or Santorini, I'm thinking you're probably getting there before I do...

Lol

Finally understood why the Little House on The Prairie stop airing.

-
Never pay attention why the series ended but thanks for sharing. Did you watched all 9 series?
-
I almost finished season 3 now. 6 more seasons to go. ;D
I watched the trailers from YouTube. I like to see how Laura grow up into an adult and Mary become blind.

Italy & Greece is calling this year. I hope to be zipping a glass of ice beverage on the caldera cliff overlooking the ocean by the year's end.....
