  • That’s great and all. But by measuring everything in millimetres and grams you miss out on the very thing that makes the metric system great; the easy conversions. You can measure things in millimetres and easily switch to centimeters, just by moving the decimal sign, when the measurement gets large enough. That way you can almost always keep the numbers manageable. No need to say 1500 millimetres. Just say 1,5 m.

    This is one of the most underrated abilities. I advice everyone to do this:

    Pick a bird that is common in your country or other areas you visit. Learn it’s song. Soon you’ll start to hear it everywhere and begin noticing variations around different locations. I did this with the chaffinch.

    It’s really funny to hear their dialects. Now, I’m definitely not skilled enough to pinpoint a bird based on its accent. But I do notice differences and it is thorough enjoyable, every time.
