City Urban Explorer first launch

Why City Urban Explorer? Originally I wanted the blog name Urban Explorer but someone else already has it. I have the name Urban Explorer in my mind for at least few years, when one day I was enjoying my walk in the City looking at the houses' architecture and checking out any interesting nook and crannies in the city for me to explore.

The other reasons for creating City Urban Explorer blog are I love nature but I'm too scared to explore it, my reasons are I'm scared to get lost, fear from unleashed dogs, wild animals, murderers, snakes, spiders the list is long. To explore nature I need money and to be exploring it with a group.

I'm inspired by nature and adventure explorers but I don't have that fearless nature, and to write authentically on nature and adventure, you have to talk the talk and walk the walk.

I find the City safer to walk and explore than walking in parks, no unleashed dogs. With cars, trains, and buses and the city urban laws on no unleashed dogs on the streets, it might be safe to enjoy the leisure in walking in the city. I love dogs, but I have phobia from them when they are without a leash. I don't venture to their homes in the parks, some beaches, and small towns. I always loved exploring, I understand I have limited my exploration parameter.

This blog is reflection on my exploration in the city, and any city I happen to be in at the time. I also love the beach, and for me a beach is part of the city. Parks are part of the city too, so I'll go to few that I feel are safe to walk in like The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Taronga Zoo Sydney etc. I haven't visited Barangaroo yet, so there will be a wealth of exploration there. Exploring cultural institutions such museums and art galleries are part of the city too. When out in the city I also like to explore new places or familiar places to eat. Not often now as before, but I enjoy food exploration for the taste buds. I'm not big fan of shopping, if this is what you are after. I visit shopping places or shopping centres now and then for good hair colour, and to update my clothes & shoes when needed and watch the odd movie. You are welcome to my first post of City Urban Explorer, lets hit the streets.

I went to Barangaroo after an interview!

I was on high, as I felt good after a job interview that I decided its time to explore! First I went to Balmain to find lunch and coffee at around 3 pm. I started my search at the  main street on both sides of the pathway. I could find lunch but no coffee or coffee without good lunch offering at the same venue. I couldn't believe it! You can find food in pubs but there is no coffee or coffee in the cafes or restaurants but no lunch as their kitchen closed. On that day I wanted the coffee and lunch at the same time, so I looked from the top of the street to the bottom of the street, mind you I was looking only for vegetarians dishes or dishes with Fish. I ended up finding an Italian restaurant/cafe, not my first choice the dish which was on offer but it'll do. It was basic vegetarian lasagne dish I offered to pay immediately (there was no display of the price and she didn't volunteer how much it'll cost), she said to pay her later and I also ordered a coffee. I ate my

The tree is where the heart is

When I was walking by this path, I noticed this picturesque image. I'm glad I took this photo, it's been a long while, since I was there. A picture framed by a heart. This is the time I wish I'm a painter.    If a picture is worth a thousand words, these could be the candidates, it is hard to say this, coming from a wannabe writer. Fewer written words this time, with this beauty I'm speechless. Photo credits: my own photos Location:  Blackburn Gardens, Sydney
