Shrinking the World.

For some reason this video makes me a little emotional. It should at least make you smile...



I don't remember if I ever linked to one of this guy's videos before...basically, he just travels around the world and dances. One of the first videos he did got really popular back in 2003 or so, many people saw it through the power of the internet. So many saw it that by the time he did a repeat trip a few years later, he was able to get a following of people to dance at the different locations with him.

Something about this video is so touching. It celebrates how beautiful our planet is while also celebrating the people in it.

Can't help but notice that Peru is not in the video. Bummer. If you have some more time to spare you might enjoy some outtakes...


Edited to add: After posting this, I noticed that the first video doesn't adjust to the size of the page so about a third of the image is always cut off. Normally, I deal with my videos just being off-center, but in the case of this video having the whole picture actually matters. You can see the video in its "widescreen" format here.
