What would you learn if you could swap skills?

Hi everyone,
I can't believe the other English countries (UK and America) have specific skill swap websites but not us!  :o

Anyways, I'm curious, if you could swap skills with someone, what would you want to learn and what can you teach? Maybe we could help each other out :)

I've always wanted to learn piano to a advanced level (I think AMEB 8 is the highest before you go to professional level?), I've taken music lessons before but I haven't had time this year. I can teach art (oil painting and realistic drawing), Japanese (it's not my native tongue though). After I graduate, I'm planning to look for a piano tutor who is hopefully happy to learn art, if not I'll probbaly be getting a part time job to pay for it.

I love the skill swap idea- at my uni campus, we often share artistic skills or music skills, or even sharing a card game or two around.
I'd happily share some of my card-game playing skills (other than uno... that one goes a bit downhill for me lol), to learn some neat calligraphy! ;D

You go to Monash right?? I'm planning to go to Monash next year :D Is there a specific club for swapping skills?

I go to Monash, but I go to the Parkville campus (specialised campus for pharm and pharmsci haha)! :)

I'm not sure about any other campus, but we actually have a dedicated games club, as well as an arts club (where I learnt a bit on how to play the uke), where we share skills at various 'events' :)
