03 - Tell me about the Welsh Language
In most heavily populated areas of Wales, such as the Southeast (containing the large urban centre's of Cardiff, Newport and Swansea), the normal language of everyday life is English, but there are other areas, notably in the Western and Northern regions, (Gwynedd and Dyfed particularly) where the Welsh language remains strong and highly visible.The language of Wales, more properly called Cymraeg. The Welsh are descendants of the Galatians, and the language is a distant cousin to Irish and Scots Gaelic and a close brother to Breton.
Welsh is still used by about half a million people within Wales and possibly another few hundred thousand in England and other areas overseas.

07 - Where do you drink in Cardiff when you aren't working?
I like Bar Cuba, Flares, The Monk, Ha Ha's, Life, Liquid, The Square, anywhere that will let me in for free and sells alcohol.

08 - Do you ever watch the Rugby Internationals, or just hang out in Cardiff on the day?
Sometimes if I can get time off, I go to a pub with friends to see the match. Sometimes I'm working and I miss it, but I try not to go into Cardiff centre unless it's to see the game in a pub on a big screen. It can get very busy match day.

09 - Images and maps of Wales, Cardiff and The UK.
I hope to give you some idea of where I live. Maybe I can entice you to visit Wales when you make that trip to Europe that you have been talking about for years.
