Great!
Loved it, Ross - the bits of original sound brought it to life. Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks, I was quite pleased how it worked out adding the original sound in some parts - thanks for the suggestion! Will be doing it more in the future...

What's wrong with the local music??
I really like your written blogs, and the visual sensibility in your videos...but for someone with such an open mind about culture, travel and all new things WHY do you use such superficial Western music?? Why not use local music?

[Ross Parker]

Fair point!
Thanks for the feedback - it's a good point! The reason I made most of the videos was primarily for myself to help bring back some memories/feelings from when I was in those countries - the music tends to just reflect what I was listening to at the time I was there as I find that often helps trigger those memories (although I did try and match the style of music as much as possible)! But yes on reflection maybe I should have made more effort to find local music and use that - something I can think about for any future videos I make - thanks!
