Game of thrones 4 ESO

 Game of Thrones is an original HBO series based on George R.R. Martin's best-selling novels. In a world where summers span decades and winters can last a lifetime, the crown of Westeros comes with a price. Betrayal, lust, intrigue and supernatural forces shake the four corners of the Kingdom, from the scheming south and the savage eastern lands, to the frozen north and the ancient Wall that protects the realm from the darkness beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noble men vie for power in the bloody struggle for the Iron Throne.

How Being a War Reporter Got Me Kidnapped…Twice 4 ESO

 

 Looking for videos to go a bit further into the issue of war reporters I found this documentary. I was going to use the beginning in class but then I thought that the one about the American reporter we watched this morning was more appropriate. I haven't had time to watch it all. I would like to mention that according to what I have read it may be disturbing but really interesting as well. 

It is narrated by Jeremy Irons, a famous British actor with an amazing voice.

Wingsuit flights 4 ESO

I have flown like that many times, in my dreams. Not from such high mountains as the ones in the videos, just from the balcony on the third floor and I used to land not far from home. It was just to avoid the stairs, I guess. The view was not as spectacular as the ones in the videos but it was nice as I could easily  see the sea during my short flight. Well, it seems I might be able to do it for real soon. I just need some training...
