Ever since the self quarantine started, we have been looking for ways to pass time at home. One of them is watching YouTube videos. You can find videos about almost anything. Whatever your interest is, you can find it on YouTube. There are even special events on YouTube right now to make staying home easier during the coronavirus pandemic. For example, we recently found out that you can watch a famous musical show on weekends. A different musical show is put up on YouTube every weekend for a limited time during the coronavirus pandemic. Also while checking YouTube channels, I came across the famous circus Cirque de Soleil’s full show of “Kurios”. Although I had seen that show live about 2 years ago with my family, it was fun watching it again. 

Apart from special programs, there are many other interesting videos you can watch. You can even find full live concerts of famous singers for a limited time!  If you have never tried YouTube, you should definitely check it out. I’m sure you will find something that interests you.

Here are some interesting links for Youtube that you might want to check out!
