two friends, forty takes, one adventure across continents
December 21st by adrianna
Hello there,
Welcome to fortylove.tv, video postcards from London and Dubai, where May and I will be living over the next twenty weeks. Every week from this one, there will be one video per week from each of us. At around three minutes long they won’t win any awards for film-making, but this is what we’re about: travelling, meeting interesting people, finding excuses to travel even more.
Since we live (sort of) in London and Dubai, the videos will be mostly out of these cities as well as around Europe, the Middle East and India. We always wanted to know the answers to these questions, and thought you might too, so we moved here and tried to find out: Is English food really bad? Is Dubai really all about malls, construction, and refrigerated beaches and indoor ski resorts? Who in their right mind would travel 1000 kilometres by auto rickshaw in India? (No one, except the 27 contestants of the Rickshaw Challenge… and… me, it seems.) What kind of drinks would world champion mixologists prescribe for every member of the British royal family? What on earth is Kollywood? Tollywood? Mollywood?
Every video has something to do with a quirky take on each city. We’ll meet auto rickshaw rally contestants, Tamil movie film stars, Arab beat poets and DJs, all kinds of artists, musicians… and more. And we’ll be writing ‘home’ about the people we’ve met, things we’ve eaten, secrets we’ve discovered. And we want you to live, eat, play and discover together with us.
