WEEK 6 - DAY 2

WEEK 6 DAY 2

A young Dutch university student faked a holiday to South East, she included Facebook pics of her being waved off at the airport by her family to kick off her fake-journey. Only, in reality, she promptly returned to Amsterdam via train--to flood her social media with 42 days of Photoshop-tastic pictures of her seeming to snorkel, travel in traditional Thai tuk-tuks, visit Buddhist temples, and sample "authentic" cuisine. Except all of the shots were taken in her own swimming pool or at venues around Amsterdam--and then, of course, altered with magical computer skills.
