There is no other choice but to use modern gadgets to contact people close to my heart.

@Pandy_ We can do this for the meantime. If we have the vaccines, then things will be fine for all of us.

@Pandy_ yes, i've been watching korean movies and drama for many years but I've just started getting serious in learning the language, ever since i've become a fan of some Korean groups. It may be a useful skill too if ever i decide to teach or something.

Well, my relatives busy caring for our elderly, so they've got their hands full so not much communication going in. I leave text msg. Got caught up with my rearranging & discarding decisions of furniture, started sewing, indoor walk in place exercises & stretching exercises... Lots of TV. Essential shopping and trying to avoid pastry section...

Video call has been really helpful during this pandemic. I have been using it to talk with friends and relatives. It has also been great in attending group meetings and class discussions.

@a_jerobon i have never used this program before wow does it slow your connection down having that many screens up of others or is it one screen and everyone watching one instructor or facilitator etc

it is very useful without this tech you may not have been able to do these meetings and class discussions safely how many people can join a meeting at once with ththe program you use
