“Bury one's head in the sand" is an idiom that means to avoid facing a difficult or unpleasant situation by pretending it doesn't exist or by ignoring it. It implies a refusal to accept the truth about something and a hope that the problem will resolve itself and simply disappear.
The origin of this expression comes from a common belief that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when threatened. In reality, ostriches might hide their heads in the sand to consume sand and gravel, aiding their digestion. (Really

Motion sickness has been bothering me as long as I can remember. No idea why I’m this sensitive compared to anyone in my family.
For a long time, whenever on a moving object, I tried to “bury my head in the sand”, to think something pleasant, and hope the sickness would just go away. But unfortunately, the ignorance didn’t help.
Antihistamine and other things came and went afterwords, none worked. Till one day, for whatever reason, I used my fingers to press my ears so very tightly that not only I could hear nothing, I felt floating above, and the motion couldn’t hurt me anymore. Maybe it’s another way to bury my head in the sand? But it works like a charm and never failed since.
Perhaps I should ask MAYO clinic to add this method into their suggestions? 
Motion sickness aside, reading all the chaos going on around the world, and especially back in NA, I do feel helpless and somewhat hopeless, and want to bury myself in the sand.

We left Oslo yesterday. I do like it best among three capitals in Scandinavia, not because Norway is rich (actually I feel Norwegians are more friendly and more down to earth), but it’s a city more relaxed and more artsy.
Time is always tight when you travel. Just want to share a few Oslo pictures I took with iPhone below:
