Day 4: New place

I had to check out of the backpackers at 10am. None of the girls were up at the time so I just checked myself out (lol) and caught a taxi to Alice's place. The taxi driver was pleasant and seemed interested in what I was doing there. He claimed that he wished to visit Auckland sometime.

I moved into my new temporary home. Alice's apartment is small but it's homely. After I'd moved in I curiously went on my laptop for the small chance that there might be wifi available (Alice had already told me there wasn't). BUT MAN. I found in a small corner of my room there is an open channel called 'vensen' that I can go on and it's ALL G. I'm so happy about this. I'm using it RIGHT NOW.

Thanks to the free wifi, I did nothing all day. Just sat in my bed and caught up on everything in the cyberworld.

The girls were all working 'til late again tonight but we'd agreed to go out because it was Cherri's last night of working. We went to her work (I left the apartment at just before 12am) and got a couple cheap drinks and then I walked 30 minutes back to the apartment. Solid.

So, not a very eventful day but here's a slight drunk sel-ca (very Korean) I took of myself in the lift when I came back at the end of the night lolZzzZ


New shoes that my cousins bought me from Korea!

Notes for 27-years-and-5-months-old Phil

... even if he won't really understand. Dear Phil, Remember: Samos is a beautiful Greek island. With beaches, mountains, history and all the lures of a typical holiday destination from which you might expect. Samos is an inhabited island. It has shops, hospitals, cafes, bars, clubs, ATMs. You're not going there to be marooned. Don't say "I'm hungry" flippantly. Or ever. Don't say "football should be fun and happy" when people start getting competitive. Especially if you're coming from having 'won' the lottery of being from a place with freedom, opportunities, safety. RE: The police. "Serve + Protect." Who? "You and your friends" is not the correct answer. 'All Star' by Smash Mouth is a great boogie / sing along. Leave it at that and don't add it to your karaoke play list. There's a second verse you have no idea about. Your patience will be tested. You will feel like a horrible per...

Sonnet NoName - (March '17)

Image
Shall I compare you to a Samos day - data attained, analysed, authenticated the world over? You drift, dragging, anchored, seeking your weigh Numberless, stateless, in purgatory hover Lying to sleep, no light to be dimm'd Storm clouds above float free without borders Whilst this bed lifts to reveal the horizon Your eyes see no distance - only rock faces untrimm'd But your open heart and mind has not faded Despite the decisions circumstance has dictated They scoot over helm(et)-less, trampling their grit Whilst yours reinforces like steel bit by bit      So long as you can breathe and your eyes can see      So long lives this - a pledged devotee View over the hotspot, out into Samos town and beyond

SHARE ۯ FOOD

Image
This child was told 27 years to share food. He did good, read books, but never learned to split bread - spat back at what mum said. Never thought it was selfish 'cos, 'If I bought it and I ordered, then it should be as I wished.' Of course, there were times that I chose to be nice, remorse for the untouched vegetable sides. But inside my mind was a shallow road block. A dam full with still rules withers and rots. Distilled water needed to release the hold, in the form of cabin dwellers hosting NGOs -  made kindness mean money. Now I see my flaws. Tap water, a comb, a blunted shaver. The barber's cape - a poncho pullover. Vigilant flicks adding spritzes of flavour... only to follow with a 'see ya later...' The gap in the teeth is seen in the absurd. Later that night, I'll take flight in a metal bird and he'll  stay days contained, on uneven earth. Asylum sought but still caught where they were thought as not who but store bought h...
