NathanThe Truth
There was one huge revelation that shocked everyone. Even you would have never thought this would be possible because we only get to see this type of incidents in movies and films. It was the fact that Zilla had not gone abroad at all. She was instead, Zilla staying in her own home right here in Amsterdam. So although it was looking as though she was having the time of her life backpacking through Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos for many weeks, Zilla was always there in Amsterdam right from the start. She had everyone fooled and she made sure she was not caught by putting up a lot of effort.
42 Days In Disguise
So it runs out the Zilla had indeed faked the whole trip that she was so excited to take. SHe had not reached south-east Asia at all, nor did she ever leave Amsterdam. She was there like everyone else and she managed to pull this prank of sorts by fooling everyone she knew. So where was she you ask? Well, for the last 42 days, Zilla was actually right there in her own apartment in Amsterdam. She was putting on so much effort to not get caught by the people that knew her. She even went to the extent of putting on disguises just to make sure that no one she knew ever caught her red handed.
Manipulating Reality
But then what about all of her online updates? She managed to pot so many photos every day. So where did she manage to take the photos she had posted online? This was one big question that everyone had flying around in their heads. It really was confusing for all. But as we all know Zilla was a graphic designer. So she made use of her skills by using Photoshop to keep herself in photos and manipulate these images to appear as though she was exploring all these wonderful places. Her editing skills were so good that it had everybody fooled and these people had no idea to question if her trip was for real or not.
The Inspiration
Zilla had her fair share of explanation as to why she would do such a strange thing. She was obviously approached by her loved ones to get explanations. “The inspiration for this project came from combining my two passions together: photo manipulation and traveling,” Zilla had explained. “I wanted to prove how easily reality gets distorted.” So what did she do? Zilla had spent most of her 42-days focused on her experiment as she made use of her time in photoshopping photos to upload online. She was extremely driven to make her point and it turned out to work.
Keeping Up Appearances
Wait till you hear about all of the efforts Zilla had to put in order for this experiment to be a successful one. She had to properly plan everything out so that no one got to point out any flaw in her master plan. So what about all the hotels she stayed in you ask? Zilla actually transformed her apartment to appear as though it resembled the interiors of a hotel room in Asia. She would also set the alarm, just to wake up and Skype with her family and some friends. This was again an effort to prove that she was indeed in a different part of the world with a different time zone.
Coming Clean
It was a little weird that no one knew about her not leaving her home because they were all in the same city. However, the only one who Zilla told her plans to that she would be in Amsterdam was her boyfriend. So maybe he had a lot to do with convincing her other loved ones that she was actually abroad. So by the time her 42-days’ ‘vacation’ was over, Zilla revealed the truth about her experiment. Her plan went smoothly with no one ever questioning about her whereabouts. But however, although most of the people she fooled were okay that this was for a school project, some people were hurt that she lied to them all those days.
