In March this year, I brought up the idea about going to Costa Rica for our annual summer trip. My family and I had traveled to Europe in the past and experienced the famous tourist sites and cultures.

Hamlet: the intimate and violent lover The beauty of live performance lies in the vast potential interpretations of the same event. The scene between Hamlet and Ophelia is quite complex and up for interpretation. There is a lack of emotion and intimacy between Ophelia and Hamlet.
