GARRET STYLE days

The Overland entered Melbourne's Southern Cross Station as I saw a young guy with garish blond hair, big headphones and a colourful scarf standing out of the crowd. He was impatiently looking around..he must have been waiting for somebody, I thought.
The biggest, spontaneous smile exploded on my face as I got off the train, grabbed my backpack and ran into him. He took my hand, and together we walked through a rushed month in the metropolis of arts.
Arrived in 21 Marwick street I meet Goran's flatmates, who widely open their doors to a wandering girl who had not seen a house and a proper shower for a long, long time. From the first day she's been satisfied with great food, comfort and smiley faces, as she was finding her way through the big city after the longest time ever spent in complete natural isolation.
I remember the first days were hard. I had trouble in following the rhythm, trams were coming from every direction, my mobile phone was ringing.. I did not like all of that. I can see myself walking down Brunswick Street for hours, going into every café and restaurant, trying to look happy and confident while I was hoping to get a job though it was the last thing I really wanted, still trying to realize that my travels were over,come to their end. No more animals jumping around me, no more funny trees,no more sand, no more rocky roads... I can see all those people bumping into me along those wide crowded streets, as I was too slow for them; while walking through nature every thing alive knows you're passing, and gives you way. Ants included.
However, as usual, every little piece slowly found its place. I found a part time job just in front of the restaurant where my brother was cooking,I finally had the chance to learn and listen to the new songs Galeb had produced, and to be happily surprised while meeting his new Melbournian friends. I heard about them, I was curious to meet them, and what happened is that once again I could confirm how amazing his capability of attracting good people is. Each of them had a different character, a different interest, a good story to tell, and I would thank them all for the amazing enthusiasm they showed in getting to know me, and the love they all transmitted to me on my last day, while a great and improvised cocktail party celebrated the end of my adventure, the end of this amazing year, the start of a new beginning.
