Today is Sunday and it is raining = perfect opportunity to do nothing; watch some Movies and maybe go for a walk. In the afternoon Heli took me to this interesting part of her neighborhood where an artist had decorated all the houses in his street with mosaics. It was quite interesting seeing very old buildings all brightly coloured and completely decorated with mosaics. In the evening Heli treated me to a Vegetarian Aubergine Moussaka - egg plants stuffed with b...

At 5pm I took a bus into the city and met my friend Lu at the Botanical Gardens- unfortunately it was still raining so we went and sat under a tree in the par...

In the afternoon I went for a walk to all the health food stores trying to find bits and pieces for making up homemade muesli. I...

After about 5 hours of sleep we were all up at 10:30am eating and preparing for day 2 of Lollapalooza. The aim was to be at the Hippodrome by 3pm to see a band that Heli really likes. We were a lot better organized today and even managed to stop at the supermarket to buy supplies before getting the bus. As today is a public holiday there is far less traffic on the road but the bus was absolutely jam packed with people going to the festival. We arrived in just 1.5...
