I also wish I had been taught more languages as a child, as it is I am only fluent in English. I plan on changing that, but it definetly makes things more difficult.
And yeah... The modernization just seems like it would taint research and wouldn't be an accurate representation of the culture. Or at least the original culture. I'm only a first year though, I have plenty of time to decide where I'd like to study and to analyze all of my different options.
Do you know what you would like to do specifically?
Being 18 I assume that you're in my situation, just fresh into university.
I know I'd like to pursue ethnography, but I honestly don't know where I would like to study specifically. Preferably some place small that is of very little interest to the rest of the world, that hasn't been extensively studied. That way I'll know my research is independent and as bias freed as I could possibly make it.
I was reading your "About Me" section and it got me thinking.... Do I want to be listed under the Friends section, or the "really amazing people" section... And don't give me that look... I can chose which one I'm in if I wanna!
The other three are books, artsy stuff, and my boyfriend (not necessarily in that order). xD
My loves are subject to multiply. I've recently developed a passion for dinosaurs and dragons (in case you couldn't tell), both of which may be on my list very soon. <3
