I'm bored, and I would like to learn something!

Hello,
I'm on vacation for a week. I'm 16, I live in a remote village and I don't have much money.
I'm really bored, and my only activity to avoid boredom is playing on the computer. But I don't like being a geek at all.
I'd like to learn something to keep myself busy (not necessarily useful, but impressive, not silly!) to entertain myself and my friends!
Knowing that:
- I already play music
- I already do a lot of sports
- I have a 20 euro budget
- I can't see my friends.

Thank you for helping me
Malad-Emmental!

    Hello Malad-Emmental,

    Learning is priceless, and in both senses of the term. No matter how many suggestions we give you, it probably won’t fit.

    I have a first question: what did you like most about your computer games? It seems to be the "impressive" aspect. So, thrill-seeking. A thrill isn't necessarily a criterion for choice; anything can become that. For example: a stamp collector might become ecstatic over a new find, etc.

    So, everything becomes impressive depending on your level of involvement.

    You should base your choice on observation and then try things out to see what happens. The time spent searching will ensure that you get bored less and already gives you an activity. You’ll decide after that.

    Good luck

    But on Wikipedia, we make beautiful discoveries. We can be interested in everything. I became passionate about the history of FRANCE.

    Practice your musical instrument to become a virtuoso, train in your sport to become a high-level athlete, buy yourself a (big) book, make origami, learn to wiggle your ears.

      Moving one's ears is physically impossible for many people because the muscles intended for their movement are absent! I hope I've taught you something ;)

    Personally, I learn the alphabet in all languages, it’s useless but it’s distracting! :)

      Learn sign language instead;
      it’s fun and it can be useful too!

    Thank you all for all your responses, it makes me very happy!

    As for the topics of Wikipedia and programming, I would rather distance myself from my computer... there you go!

    Thanks to the others as well, I will practice juggling, on my instrument, and take a look at Savoir Inutiles!

      Too late: he has already died of boredom, since 2 years ago when he called for help!
      and it was just for a single little week of solitude!

    Wikipedia is a site. It's not a game

      Personally, I don't mess around with Wikipedia; plus, there is false information on it.

      Yes, but you learn a lot of things.

      They need to be warned about the false information. It would be helpful to everyone.
