I’ve been strolling around town, meeting friends for coffee and such, but more importantly, I’ve rediscovered the beauty of this place. I suppose I look at it now thinking “what can I introduce to my friends, students, and teachers back in Japan” and I notice many things—some that even seem completely new to me.
So here are a few random shots. There are some from around home and dropping in on the Gradex exhibition at the department I studied at. We also saw the damage caused by a fire that took the roof and gutted the top floor of the Willcocks building. And I just found a video where my husband's friend Grant talks about helping a woman from the burning building. Nice work!
Then you’ll see some buildings from around Van Rheede street, Church street, Plein street and on campus. More surely to come!
Some of the details you mentioned noticing for the first time are things I think we did notice while living in Stell, but didn't pay them the attention they deserved. It was laways just part of the picture.
