My name is Faye Doyle and to tell you the truth, I personally chose this particular module based on the fact that it involved a trip to Amsterdam. Since I would admit that I am someone who loves to travel and so far I have visited Amsterdam 4 times, soon to be 5, yet this trip will be a lot different to my past trips to the city; as the purpose for all my past holidays to the “dam” have been motivated by the festival or music event taking place at that time. So in that instance, I am looking forward to having a different approach to visiting the place, which I hope and believe I will get a more in-depth observation of the busy City, as I want to take on the role of an observer rather than a tourist. Also I expect to be more questionable about the culture this time round, as well as expecting to notice and acknowledge aspects of the City I hadn’t the previous times I have been.
This is the first post on my new blog. I have started this blog in order to trace the steps of my research right from the get go. I think that by doing this, I will be able to look back on my thinking and planning and therefore get a clearer vision on how my research came about in the first place.
