Do It In Public

At Global Cool we love to Do It In Public. We love it because on the bus your iPod never gets interrupted by a voice telling you to “take the fourth exit”. We love it because on the train we can bury our heads in a good book or get obsessed with killing pigs with Angry Birds – without having to remember to mirror, signal, manoeuvre. Most of all, we love it because of all the random things that can happen, whether it’s a flirtatious chat with a stranger or a stag party all dressed as Elvis impersonators. There are some kinds of entertainment that you just can’t get when you’re struggling to find fifth gear.

Check out our Do It In Public posts below and watch our videos here to find out why you should ditch those car keys (unless, of course, you’re planning on going to a swingers party, in which case you might want to keep them)…
