elusivek1. Would you rather have the unpredictability of live theatre or the predictability of a movie?
Erm... probably live theatre, though it if turns out to be boring I can't just "switch it off" like when watching a home movie. I guess it depends on the situation.
2. Do you prefer the symphony and/or opera to a live band or the other way around?
I'm not too keen on operas, so it's either the symphony or a live band. I guess it depends. On a normal day, I like the symphony, however, if it's a band that I really like or I know their songs, then I'd choose the band. I can count the number of bands I've seen live, LOL and that' Suede and The Cranberries. (And some singers, but singers are not bands)
3. When you go to a museum, where do you head first?
I usually follow the route. If there is no linear route and it's a free roam museum, I usually prefer to see the old stuff rather than the contemporary stuff.
4. Would you prefer a pub crawl or a sampling of beer or wine in one restaurant?
I was never a pub crawl person, even in my younger days. Alcohol just isn't my thing, but given the choice, it'd be sampling in one restaurant.
5. When you visit a new place, what is the first thing you like to visit – something recommended by a travel agency/travel book or something recommended by a friend?
Well, I think it's not so simple as whether it's a recommendation by a travel agency/book or a friend, there's also accessibility and time convenience. I'd take all these suggestions, do some research on how to get their by different means of transport, see where I'm going to be staying (hotel or whatever), then just see the overall accessibility and group things together by area or whether they are on the way to somewhere.
My friend once said "this is the first time you are here but why does it seem like you already know the way?" Well, I've sort of memorized or orientated myself well with the map. It's like I've been on holiday twice. Once during the research and studying google map and street view, and second when I'm physically there hahaha.
