Hey Folks
Being part of a global community here on NP which now boasts close to a million members, we often get to interact with people from places we know very little about. Most of the time all we know about a place is the B.S. that mass media has fed us. The sad part is that mass media tends to highlight the worst part of a particular country and they flood the media outlets with these negative images for their own agenda (more like the agenda of those controlling mass media). The agenda is generally motivated by money/greed/power and the same applies to wars being fought for whatever B.S reason they use as an excuse. Bottom line it's all about money/power that is the ONLY reason wars take place. War is BIG BUSINESS!! HUGE BUSINESS...
Anyway, I went off on a tangent there...lol, sorry..my bad.
The idea of this thread is for us to share a promotional video or any video that shows some of the awesomeness in our home cities (or the city that you currently reside in). I have seen some nice promotional videos of Drone footage from many cities around the world and I they are great to showcase a city so if you have anything like that for your own city then those would be ideal.
The purpose of this is to:
1.) Educate ourselves on what some places really look like and not what we have been made to believe a place looks like.
2.) Find lots of interesting places that we would consider visiting that we would not have considered before.
3.) Remind ourselves to not take our beautiful cities for granted and to remember how awesome our hometowns actually are. Also just as an exercise to express gratitude for our present location.
I understand that some members might not be living in a safe city and might even be living in war-torn city, I guess this thread could also give you some inspiration as to what some of the possibilities are if you are somehow able to leave your city when circumstances allow.
So here goes my submission:
This is Durban, South Africa
