Dear OneLivers,

Life might be more surreal than it has ever been, and there’s no telling when we’ll get back to normal… But what people are actually dreaming of to do after the lockdown?

Heading to the gym

Remember the days of pumping iron next to lots of equally sweaty people? Whether the gym was a weekly slog or your favorite daily body temple, people across the world are mourning access to a shared exercise space with top-notch equipment, pumping music, various classes, and the feeling you were exercising with others in a shared endeavor. Come back torturous spin classes, all is forgiven.

Eating out at a restaurant

Some countries, like the UAE, are opening up restaurants with social distancing measures in place – this may offer a bit of a different experience, but the joys of a perfectly cooked steak or restaurant-fresh sushi are back on the cards for some.

Visiting the beach

Sydney’s popular Bondi Beach – a former COVID-19 hotspot – has just reopened for swimming and surfing, but the beach itself will remain closed.

Meanwhile, surfers across the world are desperately missing their chance to catch a wave.

Dentist

No one likes a visit to the dentist, but we still miss them when they are not around. We feel better having had a regular check-up – and it’s always best not to superglue our own crowns.

Getting a haircut

People across the world are bemoaning not being able to see their regular hairdresser. Longer hairstyles than usual, killer roots, and outright unruly locks are now the norm. But there is hope that hairdresser access may be one of the first restrictions to be lifted, provided social distancing precautions are taken.

 

These are actually all mundane activities and I just wonder if we will be easy to get back to a new normal life… What do you miss the most during the lockdown? Share to your viewers today in you video chat! 😀
