Viewing Notes

This Globe Trekker installment combines 3 separate episodes into one grand feature covering all of Scandinavia. I’ll say this again: super wild to watch after viewing MIDSOMMAR. Half of what is shown makes me not want to visit these countries. The other half i’m like “I WANT TO GO THERE NOW” so a decent variety of sites and attractions. Really weird that they get into some controversial areas (the entire segment w/Megan McCormick talking to the police who are busting people for marijuana possession). Also funny that she goes to some of the exact same spots that Merrilees Parker visits (and buys the same foods!).

I’m less keen on Neil Gibson’s tour thru the Baltics and Lithuania but still interesting but doesn’t look fun.
