Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am currently bound by chain to this city for another four months at least. Hence my adventures will be limited to those geographically possible, that is, within a few kilometres of the Brisbane CBD.
That is not to say life is dull and monotonous, however; once you find your tastes and know how to feed them, it's easy to enjoy yourself. Brisbane is no great metropolitan, unlike my hometown, but it is a confident and bustling place filled with individualistic little nooks and crannies, and places that charm you with its nostalgia and blatant disregard for kistch. This sunny (and occasionally tempestuous) city has grown much over the years, and I admit that I have become rather fond of it despite its shortcomings, which I will not talk about. Brisbane has nourished my personality for a total of six years, after all.
This is a blog about those places. You can expect to see photos, reviews and maybe drawings of ambient cafes, restaurants, shops, markets, buildings, fashion, "knick-knacks" (as my old British housemistress used to call them), stationery and food. You cannot expect, on the other hand, constant updates or tolerance towards words of bad taste.
That's it for tonight. I hope to return soon with something I can actually share.
Pip-pip, tally-ho.
