I am reading a stranger’s account of my home town, Melbourne, and seeing what I am blinded to by familiarity. Therein lies the value of neophytes. They have eyes we don’t have. It is absolutely possible to learn about your own culture through the eyes of an outsider.

@fionatribe the outsider: "4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me—I can't cancel that again;"

@fionatribe

Any insights? Or nah?

@CactusHaiku Way too many to list. Some of the insights were in comparison to other cities they had experienced, that I hadn’t — so they were impossible for me to notice.
