Traveloscope is the newest section of our English website. It will contain various materials related to travel, cultures and the diversity of the world in general. Unlike travelogues or travel photos, which usually relate personal experiences, traveloscopes can be anything, from short stories, comics, sketches, drawings, videos, music, fables, texts about bizarre traditions, weird cultural moments and so on.
We will be adding the materials to this section as we translate them, but don't hold your breath.
