Greetings from Mexico
Enjoy Phnom Penh! I’d really love to make it back there, especially if it means an afternoon spent with a latte and a brownie at the Shop.
I’ve been rereading all of my Haruki Murakami favourites, like Wild Sheep Chase, Dance Dance Dance, and Sputnik Sweetheart. Great for the moody weather we’re having in Cape Town.
And curiously, there have been a lot of cookies and pizza here, too… -X
I’m back! I just wanted to pop in and say that even though I don’t know all of these people I’m really fascinated by seeing what bloggers are into around the world. Great idea for a post. Thank you!
