 Guam  1st Issue -- When I Know You're Lying

 

This was difficult, mainly because the only artist from Guam that pretty much 1/5 of the world knows is Pia Mia, but you know me, I tend to back away from the really popular ones unless it's the only option available.

ROAD TO TISC 2017

 

With just under 3 weeks to go before the TISC final the time has come for the delegations to begin to head to Great Britain! Each country will find their temporary home in one of Britain's historic ceremonial counties and each county will be shared by 2 nations, but the experiences of each country will be totally different! 17 counties in 7 regions have been chosen and every day a new pair of countries will arrive, with the last landing just hours before the opening ceremony on Friday 28th April.

 

So welcome to Britain and I hope you can make your county feel like home!!

The arrivals begin today and the first pair to arrive will be based in....

 

SOMERSET

SOMERSET (SW)

The county of Somerset is located in South West England, home to the Glastonbury festival, Roman Baths and the Wurzels! For the next 3 weeks it will be home to the delegations of Denmark @Agger and Lithuania @Werloc, both former TISC host nations, but their contrasting experiences of urban and rural Somerset will make them wonder if they really are just a matter of miles away from each other...

 

Denmark - Somerset Levels

As the mist rises on the Somerset Levels at dawn the Danish delegation are about to arrive in an area renowned for its natural beauty and biodiversity. However, Team Denmark need to watch their step as the Somerset Levels is one of the most flood prone areas of the UK and by travelling to the Levels Team Denmark are helping the communities across the region who are attempting to increase tourism and gain World Heritage Site status in order to get better flood defences.

There is a long history in the Somerset Levels, with perhaps the most interesting tales of all being the legend of King Arthur. The Hill Fort at South Cadbury has long been thought to be Camelot, the home of King Arthur. Arthurian legends surround the region and many locations have some link to the legend.

TOP TRIP: Exploring the Arturian Legends at South Cadbury and Glastonbury Cathedral.

Glastonbury Festival - a celebration of british culture, music and a whole lot of mud! Somerset is internationally known for its flagship music festival, but the music culture in Somerset extends far beyond the tents of Glastonbury. The hippie and folk music scene across the region is long established, and even in the humble beginnings of the Glastonbury Festival, the Pilton Pop, Blues and Folk Festival celebrated the music of Somerset. Whilst team Denmark may be thankful to miss the thousands of festival goers they will certainly not miss the music. The ceilidh folk music of the South West can be seen in local pubs and small festivals and to welcome Team Denmark to the Somerset Levels here is a special performance by the aptly named Somerset Levellers. Enjoy a jig to the music and a local cider!

 

Lithuania - Bristol

 

On a beautiful Bristol evening some of the last balloons return from the skies as the Lithuanian delegation arrive! But not without panic, as the team had to rush back to the Bureau de Change minutes before the flight was set to depart, as they had forgot to buy their Bristol pounds, a local currency only for the city. But it is not the skies, but the water around Bristol that has brought the city is brightest and darkest times over the years. The first English ships to land in North America set off from Bristol, but at the height of the slave trade over 500'000 slaves were transferred through Bristol from Africa to North America. But it is modern Bristol that has really made a name for itself.

Street art, the home of Banksy, Bristol's rebellious streek. The city is not one to conform, but one to push boundaries and ask questions. Banksy has left his mark all over the world, yet some of his original work remains in Bristol and his work has inspired others creating a booming graffiti scene. Bristol has also been at the forefront of animation, with Wallace and Gromit proud products of the cities innovation.

The question now for the Lithuanian delegation is what to do will it be Banksy or Brunell, Boats or Balloons.

But really there's only one iconic choice in Bristol, it has to be balloon, so Team Lithuania better not have a fear of heights because its up, up and away!!
