<a href="http://www.keezi.nl/">Kees Colijn's</a> "Walking in..." project is a series of fascinating single shot videos, each up to two hours long, filmed as he walks through cities such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Bs7331yTQ">Yangon</a> in Myanmar, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX-zkkB7Y3M">Varanasi</a> in India, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXhi8L9Ie6A">Makassar</a> in Indonesia and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGd2nh4NqNk">Pokhara</a> in Nepal (Youtube links). See and hear everyday life in these places, not just the slick travel show version.post:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:45:19 -0800AnnaRattravelcityvideowalkingasiaBy: Nevin

This is pretty awesome. I like to watch train videos on YouTube - where someone captures an entire route in HD. There is also a poster on YouTube that walks around various obscure Japanese towns and makes videos.
I kind of wish there was one for the Philippines.comment:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027-5936833Sat, 14 Feb 2015 02:13:24 -0800NevinBy: mdonley

Spectacular and hypnotic. I've been to a few of these cities and these videos capture the sense of place so much better than any photo or (not surprisingly) more produced video. The camera here becomes a proxy for the way we actually see these places.comment:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027-5937038Sat, 14 Feb 2015 09:17:58 -0800bassomaticBy: fiercekitten

Thanks so much for these. I stayed up unfeasibly late watching some.
I actually nodded off toward the end of Varanasi one - not out of boredom, but because it was kind of hypnotic (and well after 3 a.m. EST).
I was jolted awake by the horn from either a pedicab or a motorcycle. I love walking around cities just to look around. Headed to Amsterdam later this year, so appreciated seeing the Vondelpark walk around he did. Key takeaway - it's lovely, but watch for people on bikes!comment:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027-5937141Sat, 14 Feb 2015 11:55:35 -0800mandolin conspiracyBy: humboldt32

I've been watching these for some time now. They're very enjoyable, except for his tendency to walk outside the appropriate pedestrian zone (particularly the Nederlands vids). It squigs me out.

Yeah, I was finding that pretty stressful. Especially when you have no kinetic control over what's happening. "Dude. Get over on the other side of those bollards...aw, c'mon man, what are you doing.

Some of those cities have such a DIY look, and such intimate use of space, the residential alleys, the proximity of traffic and pedestrians. This is such great coverage I almost seemed to smell the places, but no the neighbors are running a smoker.comment:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027-5937470Sat, 14 Feb 2015 20:21:08 -0800OyéahBy: glass origami robot

Are there videos for some of these cities 10 or 50 years ago? Given how quickly some of them have changed, comparing them would be really interesting.comment:www.metafilter.com,2015:site.147027-5939318Mon, 16 Feb 2015 17:51:52 -0800glass origami robot
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation.
