I'm on CS because I think one of the best things to know a country is if you know local people and live like them, also you have the chance to share with other people of your culture, so I think is a way to learn and teach something, so when you finish your trip you will get some memories that you wouldn't live travelling in other ways

• Hmm- music. Don't really have a lot of time for it because I am distracted by other things I am doing. Let's start off with Celtic music- I often listen to Irish-Scottish stuff (no disrespect to the Bretons, Welsh or Basques) in particular. Grew up listening to The Pogues, Great Big Sea, The Dubliners and The Wolfe Tones to mention a few. Sadly the Celtic music scene in Christchurch has died a sad death over the year and what is resurrected for Saint Patrick's Day is...well, let's just leave it at that. There are songs you can drink to, those you can sing to and those you can dance to (I have Irish dance lessons years ago). • Likewise, I kind of like Dub-step and Drum and Base, though I hardly ever attend those sort of events- that's life I guess. When it is boiled down every group/artist puts out their own amount of good and bad stuff. • As to movies, I like historical dramas, comedies and the odd documentaries. Especially lastest foriegn films- even if they are on Youtube and had TERRIBLE subtitles. So far my favourites are: Wild Geese I, Zulu, In Bruges, The Guard and Siege of Jadotville (Look for the 'Man in the White Suit' scene on Youtube and tell me think if you that shoot was possible with a Bren gun!).
