I think you learn a lot about a country from its art. To me, it`s part of the drama of life. It teaches you that there are places, moments and incidents in other cultures that genuinely have a life of their own.
I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I`d far rather see for myself what`s going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking.
