I watch TV AND travel to Europe. So there. Ha.
That makes me so much better than you....(Stupidity and sarcasm off)
But in all seriousness???????.......I'm learning languages that I never thought I had time for because of no TV......plus I'm learning how to play the piano and the guitar. All the while not watching TV. I guess it works for some and for others...well I guess you do what you do!
Do you watch TV while in Europe and if you do, do you buy the products that are advertised...because that is what TV programs are for...to sell merchandise with tidbits of entertainment.
