eye openers
So last weekend I was travelling on a train minding my own business, on my way to see Do The Right Thing at the Kino Cinema on Collins Street.
from afar
The last few weeks have been stark. That's the only way that I can think to describe them. Stark, shocking, illuminating, devastating. My London, my city, and my country seem to be (literally) burning from afar, and all I can do is watch.
making moves
I've had one big “First Step” goal since I moved to Melbourne; get a place in the city and live there.
when you're the one who leaves
Leaving a place can be hard. But being left behind, that's harder.
home and away
OK so full disclosure, this post is not about the famous Australian soap Home and Away, which brought us such movie stars as Heath Ledger and Chris Hemsworth.
the hitchhikers guide
I feel a bit like a hitchhiker here in Melbourne, albeit a metaphorical one. I seem to be eating and walking my way through the city, hitching a ride at each restaurant, coffee shop, street, interacting with the people there and then moving on.
the winds of change
They say that Melbourne is the city of four seasons. Which is to imply that in one day (or one week) you could experience elements of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
the kindness of strangers
I have been here in Melbourne for exactly three weeks now and I gotta say, the public transport is pretty good.
finding Africa
So as some of you may know by now, I am a first generation Ghanaian Brit, born and bred in London.
