Ten

Wandering- how else when exploring a new city. seriously nothing beats following your own nose and getting lost along the way. You end up talking to people filming gatorade ads, others who have odd stories about when they were taught by Peter Einsman, or men who are just cuddly and Russian looking and know where giant giant Christmas trees reside. You get lost and go beyond the Tourist attractions of Sky towers and Ghery Galleries and see Houses that have no disguises, that have seen the time long before us and conveys it in their facades. Streets with character that ooses from the peeling paint and the slightly creepy man who is picking up the rubbish along the side of the road. For what reason in a neighbourhood no one seems to go? (besides lost tourists from Australia..)

I think this is where a citys true colours shine, places that are not there to be seen, that exist for living and whithout pronouncing there precence with a sign that depicts its purpose and meaning.

Another amazing thing about new cities is exploring coffee stores (even if the coffee here is absolute non-drinkable) nothing quite beats finding a cozy cafe that smells of beans once you have been battling wind and snow for 20 minutes. Lost.

We have definitely utilized this service, sat in cafes for hours drinking, reading, drawing, picture taking, talking about everything and nothing. Nothing. Just listening to the sounds surrounding.

So far it has been fun.
