“Somewhere in Korea 1″ by Manuel Alvarez Diestro
20 days/ 10 cities. I have just arrived in Cairo and doubt I have been in Madrid, Santander, Potes, Paris, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Shimono Seki, Busan and Seoul. I would repeat it again and again and again. In the coming days I will be posting stories on these cities.

“Fenetre Didouce Mourad, Alger” by Manuel Alvarez Diestro
An advertising add posted in every corner of Sydney streets says “the end”. This time it was somewhere in Redfern. It seems to follow me all around the city since the moment I arrived. My three days trip with this add is pushing me to become twice aware of my short stay in this city and perhaps the confirmation of another life episode ending in my life at that time.
Once again, as in many other cities before, I wanted to get completely lost through the streets of Sydney. However, two days after a hidden inertia within me will force me to get to the subway (in Town Hall station which by the way recalls me Maverick Station in the Boston harbor) and reach the international departures terminal at Sidney International Airport. It will be the time to fly back to Johannesburg. It will be the time to follow the same responsible attitude which will push me to always return to a point of origin. It will be another failed and short lived perfect escape.
