... the city as a work
in progress, whose future is still to be fought over, and those who

The purpose here is to vocalise the

... to do it all, so I decided that every day I will go to the market and eat at least one new thing. This has been going well so far, and I have found myself really enjoying much of what I have eaten. And the best part is that everything is so cheap! I also decided that it was finally time for a haircut, since my last one was in May before leaving home and my hair had just gotten way too long. I was a little hesitant because I didn't think that the people here would be ...

... nigh impossible to catch the market bottom. The real estate market is much like the stock market; its peaks and bottoms are always discovered with hindsight. Being a buyer's market, the easy way out is to quote your price and see if developers are willing to sell.

... t walk two paces with out having to move over for someone or something to pass by. Walk down any street or road in any town or city, large or small, and you will be among 10,000 others doing the same thing, it is constantly like that bit at the end of a music festival, when everyones mind turns to leaving just before the last song as to 'beat the crowd', just to discover that every other swinging dick has done the same thing. Its like a mass exodus in every ...

... my Italian passport. I am officially traveling as an Italian now as I only have one page left in my Canadian passport. When the customs/immigration agent looked over my documents, he remarked that I didn't sound like an Italian. I felt like telling him that my co-workers may argue that point but I decided not to. I explained that I owned 2 passports and gave him the details as to why I was traveling as an Italian. For some reason he thought that it was strange that I had ...

During my stay they became good friends waving when I ran past in the morning or thanking me for the left over food I would bring from my dinner out. They always had a smile on their faces. Later that day we had celebration for the completion of the ...
