6 Things around the World

Inspired by Daniel's 6-things post about six places that you would want to do something in... six things you want to learn around the world. I decided to elaborate on what I posted in his comments:

1) Learning bellydance from the great Middle Eastern dancers: Dina, Raqia Hassan, Mahmoud Reda; and/or tribal fusion, gothic and cabaret bellydance in the US (which, oddly enough, has the world's highest concentration of bellydancers!)

2) Study tailoring/fashion design, either specifically for bellydance costuming (not sure where.. perhaps Egypt, from this lady), or perhaps at one of the fashion capitals of the world: London, Paris, Milan, New York

3) Study metalsmithing for jewellery making, perhaps in Sweden (beautiful chainmail jewellery) or Thailand (gorgeous Hilltribe silver)

4) Learn Arabic in... Egypt? UAE?

5) Learn the art of massage in either Thailand or Bali.

6) Learn how to play the guzheng in Shanghai....


Where would you like to go to learn or do something? :)
