Robots translating into sign language in real time. Terracotta warriors and red-legged frogs. Life on this planet is interesting when we look around closely.
Every evening, at 8 pm, we turned on the TV, sat quietly on the couch, and listened to the news. First it covered everything local, then the rest of Austria.
