The BBC Earth Experience: Seven Worlds, One Planet

 

The novelist, essayist, and poet Wendell Berry put it rightly so: "The Earth is what we all have in common."

When I came across an advert for the BBC Earth Experience on my social media timeline, I did not know what to expect. It marketed itself as a "multisensory experience" for all ages from all walks of life in a bid to raise awareness about our planet's diverse topography and ecosystems-- and how, if we are not careful enough, we can cause irreversible damage. Curiosity made me shell out £26.21 but honestly, they had me at "narrated by Sir David Attenborough".

Visiting Dream World: Bangkok's Low-Key Version of Disneyland!

Dream World's cute and colorful facade is manned by an antlike mascot. I didn't know why, but somehow a wave of déjà vu then hit me while I stood in front of the gates waiting for them to open. I actually half-expected to see a giant revolving globe or a hovering surfboard (ridden by a mouse mascot and his loyal pooch) inside the gates.
