Sounded like a thing to do. A possibility to get influenced by others you don't know, as a host. As a traveler: also, and to keep costs low.

Bowie, Pink Floyd, Prince were my first loves, but I like a lot. I have a big record-collection. Lot of work I did was related to the music-industry, so I was living music for a long time :) And especially all the fun around. Next to work related, I was also a bartender at 013 for years. 013 is a huge pop/musiccentre in Tilburg were lots of artist played and would like to play :) Was also VJ over there. And DJ. And coordinator of a "live-popmagazine". And stage-manager. And furniture. Never cleaned the toilets though, guess that's one part I didn't do. Ow, music, was asked :P Got carried away. Well all of it I guess :P Lot of NewWave, 80s. And Underworld, Front242, NIN, ZAZ, Beatles, Focus, Simple Minds, Elvis Costello and so on, and so on. Movies. All movies you used to see at the videostore. But to mention. St Elmo's Fire. Leaving Las Vegas. Trainspotting. La vita e Bella. House of the Spirits. Never Ending Story. Yes, I'm a 80s addict. In music and movies. And every movie at IMDB with a 7+ rating. Except Titanic. Must have seen it by now, in pieces. Took me years. Books. Well that is a bit dissapointing I guess. I never read anymore. My favorites long time ago. Christine, Kort Amerikaans, manual of the Puch MV-50. But, I think the section "Books" is a bit old-fashioned. I do read a lot. The Internet. In all facets. Ow! And Donald Duck! Dutch, ofcourse :)
