Current things

Yesterday I did something very crazy. Something I wouldn't do otherwise even if there was no 'pandemic'.
But isn't it the current special situation that has been going on for too long that is driving us crazy and making us do some weird things?

Because first of all, I have to say that I am very squeamish. I can't eat, for example, some milk products just because I can sense the smell of the animal from whose milk they were made.
Another, even stranger thing is that I cannot eat certain Bulgarian traditional dishes if they are not cooked by my boyfriend, close relatives or friends and their parents, whom I have known since childhood.
There is no logic in this, even I can say it, but it is so.
And then what is left for the hygiene and smells in my daily life?

But here I am at the vegetable market, buying oranges. The saleswoman at the stand I chose, an elderly woman, invites me from the chair she is sitting on, to pick the fruit alone.
So I started picking oranges myself. I picked one up, looked at it, saw a hole in its bark, and showed it to the saleswoman.
"It's all right, we'll eat it now," she says, getting up from her chair, peeling the orange in front of me, splitting it in two and handing me one half.

So, in normal times, I would never accept something like that. First of all, those people who stay in this market all day hardly wash their hands constantly. They hardly wash them at all. I don't know where their toilet is. They certainly have one, but they don't go there all the time to wash their hands. And how much money goes through them, given to them by different people, and how many fruits and vegetables they have to touch, touched by different people ...

But I did it yesterday. I didn't even look at the old woman's hands. I took the orange and ate it in front of her. There was no way I could refuse. I would insult her, of course. But I didn't think about what I was doing. No, I thought about it, but I did it. On purpose.

If someone asks me what I think about the current global disease (I know no one asks me, but still😄) I am almost certain that it is not transmitted in the way they try to suggest it through the media. If that was the case, I really should have gotten sick a thousand times by now (that's another story). And for this reason, masks and disinfectants are not needed. But anyway. Nobody asks me, right?

	Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to small and not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|
