We had a lovely trip to Melb for xmas/new year. The smell of Australia is something unique and the feel of the dry air. I always love the first day because everything is so much more intense, the broadness of language, the size and colour of the money, being able to understand everything, the familiarness of my surrounds, the small details that I know so well about my home but not so well about my home in Tokyo. It was comfortable being able to slip into life, like a day had not passed since I left a year ago. Of course, first stop was to see my Mum and then go to get some cafe coffee and breathe in the dry air....I had hoped for summer but it just happened for a couple of days....
we visited friends all over Melb......
played at Rye beach, just days before the large bronze whaler shark was caught.....
caught the free circle tram....
discovered baby chinos....
ate old favourites....
enjoyed simple Aussieness....
explored in rock pools at the beach I grew up...
isnt it so beautiful? Thinking of how Tokyo kids grow up and that they never get to see this kind of space...I realise how lucky I was a kid to have this at my back door....
summer did smile on us, just for a few days......
...and now back to Tokyo.......wishing you a beautiful, happy and inspiring new year xxx Thanks to my family and friends for hosting us at many parties and to stay at your houses, it was wonderful and always too short. I did not get to see everyone but I hope to see you in June when we make another short trip to the city of coffee and clean air.
