me in Kuala Lumpur, August 2009.
The time has come to end this blog. Well, not really but I decided on moving this to the new platform.
I still remember how, when and why I started writing the xaustraliax blog. It was on one July's evening of 2003 at Kazue's apartment in Victoria Park, Perth, Australia. It was established as a tool for my friends in Poland so they could keep on track with my life in Australia. Good times( I was so young then :)) Then, I moved to Malaysia and I kept writing this for the same purpose. I was receiving some positive feedback and was happy abt this. Years were passing and beside describing my life overseas, that blog has became a place to write abt things that are important to me, sharing photos, articles, etc. Thank you for all the comments you left here.

So why moving to the new blog? First of all I feel that wordpress gives me more possibilities of managing my blog. I simply like it more then LJ now. The other thing ( that more important one) is that I m not an expat anymore and most probably I will never be one again. Starting this blog was my way to cope with that new situation I found myself when I moved to Perth in 2002. Now, I m settled here in Warsaw and even if this place is not as nice as Australia or Malaysia (in this case of that country, I m talking about the weather and living in expat standards), I simply like my life here. I realized this not long time ago and I feel this is a factor for changing something. I choose to call my new blog "hold tight" because even if I am pretty happy with my life, it is still everyday struggle against those smaller and bigger things that hit us everyday. It is a constant struggle with this world's stupidy, people's egoism, stress, etc. This is why we all have to just hold it tight and keep trying ...
Thanks to the new platform I was able to move all my xaustraliax's posts, so I wont miss any of my past entries from here.
I hope YOU all will follow my new blog. Update your bookmarks and "visit me" from time to time. Your comments are very much welcome. Just like always.

Miso is this type of food that I cannot really imagine living without. I remember that this traditional Japanese soup was introduced to me by my Japanese roommate when i was living in Australia. I recall those times I was called a "Miso King" .. and when u hear this from a Japanese... u know it is a true honor :) And even though miso is a very common soup for most of the Asian restaurants in Poland, I really enjoy making it at home from time to time. Miso paste and fresh tofu. I remember Kazue was always telling me that miso is good for cold ....
I got the Burning Fight book over a week ago. This is just a fantastic combination of words about great music, people and the ideas, simply all of that which had such a big impact on me. 90's hardcore scene was something amazing - something that made me straight edge, something that turn me vegan, something that sharpen the way I see the world today.
Now - the bad news. Due to my flu, I will be missing the Earth Crisis show that will be happening tomorrow in Cracow. They play some ridiculous tour with 6 other bands which names are impossible to remember. I totally dont care abt those bands (sorry) but I will miss EC and that's a serious problem. It is not that I have never seen them ( I saw both EC and Path Of Resistance) but it just sucks when they play in Poland and u miss them. I just feel too weak to travel to other city and go to this show.
I edited all my pics from my Asia 09 tour and I uploaded them on my flickr and FB. Those of u who share FB with me could already see it. Those who read this blog have to wait a bit until i post the link here.
