...they do things differently there.

This was once the online journal of two young Australians backpacking Europe for a year.

Anonymous asked: As much as I love exploring your blog, you cover such a wide range of issues that I think it loses direction, sometimes.
So Alistair, provide us with a context...would you say you were:
Closed or Open-minded?
Cold or Warm-hearted?
Constrained (by self-imposed views) or Uninhibited?
Selfish or Self-less?

Finally, riddle me this:
If you could make one change in the world as it is this very second, what would it be?

This blog has been directionless for some time now! So I think its fair that I answer your questions.

I like to think of myself as a close minded, cold hearted, constrained individual that only thinks for himself. All evidence seems to point towards that, anyway.

I’d like to see a world where the concept of justice means not merely granting people freedom from x, but enabling the underprivileged so that they have equal freedom to do y. In that world the privileged would be continually concious of, and hopefully concerned by, such injustice.
