Thailand Travel Videos 

After leaving Belgium on the 1st of January 2019 and a layover in Moscow, Russia, I arrived in Bangkok. The city is known as the capital of backpackers. Everything that later would be natural while travelling was completely new here. Bangkok was the first stop on this backpacking trip, and from here, my new friends and I soon met up in Chiang Mai, another city in Thailand. Before travelling to Cambodia, I made a stop in Thailand’s old capital, Ayutthaya! It is Thailand where this big adventure started for me, and I will always love it for that.

At the beginning of my trip around the world, I was pretty confident about making travel videos of all places I visited. It was only afterwards that I realised how time-consuming making videos on the road was. Although, I managed to put travel videos together for some of the places in Thailand. These aren’t only an excellent way for people to see and learn about those places, but also, for me, it is a perfect way of looking back. On this page, you find some of those travel videos, and I do hope you enjoy watching them 🙂

What Solar Eclipse-Gazing Has Looked Like for the Past 2 Centuries

Millions of people on Monday will continue the tradition of experiencing and capturing solar eclipses, a pursuit that has spawned a lot of unusual gear.

For centuries, people have been clamoring to glimpse solar eclipses. From astronomers with custom-built photographic equipment to groups huddled together with special glasses, this spectacle has captivated the human imagination.

Creating a Permanent Record

In 1860, Warren de la Rue captured what many sources describe as the first photograph of a total solar eclipse . He took it in Rivabellosa, Spain, with an instrument known as the Kew Photoheliograph . This combination of a telescope and camera was specifically built to photograph the sun.

Forty years later, Nevil Maskelyne, a magician and an astronomy enthusiast, filmed a total solar eclipse in North Carolina. The footage was lost, however, and only released in 2019 after it was rediscovered in the Royal Astronomical Society’s archives.

Telescopic Vision

For scientists and astronomers, eclipses provide an opportunity not only to view the moon’s umbra and gaze at the sun’s corona, but also to make observations that further their studies. Many observatories, or friendly neighbors with a telescope, also make their instruments available to the public during eclipses.

Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen, Fridtjof Nansen and Sigurd Scott Hansen observing a solar eclipse while on a polar expedition in 1894 .

Women from Wellesley College in Massachusetts and their professor tested out equipment ahead of their eclipse trip (to “catch old Sol in the act,” as the original New York Times article phrased it) to New London, Conn., in 1922.

A group from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania traveled to Yerbaniz, Mexico, in 1923, with telescopes and a 65-foot camera to observe the sun’s corona .

Dr. J.J. Nassau, director of the Warner and Swasey Observatory at Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, prepared to head to Douglas Hill, Maine, to study an eclipse in 1932. An entire freight car was required to transport the institution’s equipment.

Visitors viewed a solar eclipse at an observatory in Berlin in the mid-1930s.

A family set up two telescopes in Bar Harbor, Maine, in 1963. The two children placed stones on the base to help steady them.

An astronomer examined equipment for an eclipse in a desert in Mauritania in June 1973. We credit the hot climate for his choice in outfit.

Indirect Light

If you see people on Monday sprinting to your local park clutching pieces of paper, or with a cardboard box of their head, they are probably planning to reflect or project images of the solar eclipse onto a surface.

Cynthia Goulakos demonstrated a safe way to view a solar eclipse , with two pieces of cardboard to create a reflection of the shadowed sun, in Lowell, Mass., in 1970.

Another popular option is to create a pinhole camera. This woman did so in Central Park in 1963 by using a paper cup with a small hole in the bottom and a twin-lens reflex camera.

Amateur astronomers viewed a partial eclipse, projected from a telescope onto a screen, from atop the Empire State Building in 1967 .

Back in Central Park, in 1970, Irving Schwartz and his wife reflected an eclipse onto a piece of paper by holding binoculars on the edge of a garbage basket.

Children in Denver in 1979 used cardboard viewing boxes and pieces of paper with small pinholes to view projections of a partial eclipse.

A crowd gathered around a basin of water dyed with dark ink, waiting for the reflection of a solar eclipse to appear, in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1995.

Staring at the Sun (or, How Not to Burn Your Retinas)

Eclipse-gazers have used different methods to protect their eyes throughout the years, some safer than others .

In 1927, women gathered at a window in a building in London to watch a total eclipse through smoked glass. This was popularized in France in the 1700s , but fell out of favor when physicians began writing papers on children whose vision was damaged.

Another trend was to use a strip of exposed photographic film, as seen below in Sydney, Australia, in 1948 and in Turkana, Kenya, in 1963. This method, which was even suggested by The Times in 1979 , has since been declared unsafe.

Solar eclipse glasses are a popular and safe way to view the event ( if you use models compliant with international safety standards ). Over the years there have been various styles, including these large hand-held options found in West Palm Beach, Fla., in 1979.

Parents and children watched a partial eclipse through their eclipse glasses in Tokyo in 1981.

Slimmer, more colorful options were used in Nabusimake, Colombia, in 1998.

In France in 1999.

And in Iran and England in 1999.

And the best way to see the eclipse? With family and friends at a watch party, like this one in Isalo National Park in Madagascar in 2001.

If you drive around central Oshawa you might be surprised to find out that there are several really old public schools all located within a five minute ride of each other that closed down in the early 2000s.

The first to go was Cedardale Public School, in 2002.

Then, in 2012, Durham District School Board (DDSB) closed three more public schools — Harmony, Ritson, and Duke of Edinburgh.

All of them are still standing decades after they were built.

Harmony Road Public School was built in 1871, as one of the first eight schools in Oshawa.

Ritson Public School's original building was constructed in 1812, with more additions in 1923 and 1928. It's currently unused, but the Region of Durham, who purchased the property, has plans to develop it into housing .

These two schools are boarded up, silent, and empty, while the Duke of Edinburgh building is still operating under a different name – Clara Hughes Public School . It serves as a replacement for the two other schools that were closed in September 2012.

But at Cedardale Public School, built in 1920 and older than the City of Oshawa, something strange is going on. Odd noises can be heard at night, and sometimes, even during the day.

Spooky, huh? Not really.

The two-storey school's classrooms are actually being used as recording and rehearsal studios. Walking through the hallways, you can hear different genres of music, from dancehall to electronic to heavy metal, reverberating through the red classroom doors.

The Rehearsal Factory , or Melody Rehearsal as it's also called, is a business that began operating in 1989, with other locations in Etobicoke, Mississauga and Hamilton.

Because their studios are further from the core of the city, they offer more affordable space for artists, something desperately needed by Toronto's creative communities.

In August 2021, the Cedardale Public School was put up for sale by its owner, The Rehearsal Factory, and soon a developer expressed interest in building a two-storey townhouse on the property. Former students rallied against the possibility of the building being destroyed.

"It's our childhood. It was my safe place to go. It's where I learned right from wrong," said Margaret Arnold, a student in 1956, interviewed by Jennifer O'Meara for DurhamRegion.com.

In 2023, the city voted to designate the Cedardale Public School a heritage property, which would put it under more protection.

But as of now, the final fate of this school is still undecided.

Iran's attack on israel: world leaders react.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said it launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel on Saturday, in an attack that could lead to a major escalation between the regional archenemies.

China is "deeply concerned" about escalating tensions in the Middle East after Iran launched drones and missiles in a retaliatory strike against Israel, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Sunday.
