Travels in an Old Tongue: Touring the World Speaking Welsh

Studying in Lampeter, Dyfed and learning Welsh, Pamela Petro found it infuriating that whenever she stumbled with her Welsh, the locals would always revert to English. She decided to go where English was not an option - all kinds of unlikely places with long-standing Welsh-speaking communities. She visited the Hong Kong Men's Choir, all Chinaman who sing in Welsh

the Japanese bardic "eisteddfod" in Tokyo

the Welsh golfers of Oslo

the diners of the Paris Welsh society

and Patagonia.
