Unusual Hobbies

Giving away ten dollars to

strangers
Reed Sundridge is an unemployed man who gives money to passersby. Every
day he gives $10 to someone who, in his opinion, is going through hard times
(go through tough times). Reed keeps a notebook where he writes down when
and to whom he gave the money, as well as how the person intends to spend it.
The philanthropist understands perfectly well that $10 is extremely small
(precious little) even for a beggar (down-and-out). However, the purpose of his
campaign is not to enrich anyone, but rather to spread the idea (spread an
idea) that it is necessary to help those who need it. You can read Reed's blog
and learn more about this movement.
 Egg shell carving
Remember the saying You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs (You
can't make an omelette without breaking eggs), an analogue of our "Wood is
chopped — chips fly"? Times are changing, and now this saying has lost its
meaning: an omelet can be made without breaking eggs, but turning them into
works of art. While we are making scrambled eggs and poached eggs,
foreigners are carving amazing patterns on the shell. This is truly a filigree work
(intracate work). Such a hobby requires high concentration (deep
concentration) and attention to detail (attention to detail), you will have to
tinker with the shells (both with egg shells). But this activity helps to distract
(take your mind off) from the routine and create a real masterpiece with your
own hands.
 Geocahing
If you read adventure books as a child and always dreamed of finding a treasure, take
up this hobby. About 3 million people who like to spend time outdoors (outdoorsman)
are already interested in geocaching abroad. So, people take an invaluable thing (thing
of little value), put it in a waterproof container (waterproof box) and hide it in some
historical or simply interesting place, although sometimes "caches" can be hidden in
the wilderness (off the beaten track). At the same time, they record the coordinates of
the location of the item and register them on the site. Another "casher" takes the
coordinates and searches for the thing, after finding the cache, he hides his "treasure"
in another place, then the story repeats. Such a hobby will take you out into the fresh
air (get you out into the fresh air) and introduce you to interesting places (introduce
you to interesting locations).
 Ghost hunting
Have you always envied the guys from the Ghostbusters
movie and wanted to hunt guests from the afterworld? Then
join the fans of this hobby, hunt down ghosts (hunt down
ghosts) and explore paranormal phenomena (explore
paranormal phenomena). Ghost hunters go to haunted
places and try to collect evidence of the existence of ghosts.
I must say that this is an expensive hobby, so for people with
ordinary income it can only be an occupation in their free
time (avocation).
 Bug fighting
This hobby is especially popular in eastern countries. People catch
praying mantis, spider, stag beetle, grasshopper, or other similar
insect. After that, they put two insects in the cage (put two insects in
the cage) and slightly push them with a stick to make them angry.
Angry insects start a fight, which goes on until one of the insects
stops moving (stop moving) or tries to escape (try to run). At first it
may seem that this is the cheapest and simplest hobby, but in
eastern countries the best insects (insects of the first water) can
cost over $ 100!
