THE GATEWAY INVISIBLE CITIES_A WORKING MAN

Who are you? You get up at 7:10 am while the alarm wakes you up. Your one-year-old daughter might wake earlier than you, so you are helping your wife, finishing your morning routine with taking care of your daughter – a quick workout, shower, and get dressed to work. In front of your house, there is a bus stop. Lucky that you can take the bus to work in the Melbourne CBD, so you do not need to find a parking spot. You are sitting on the bus or maybe sitting, but everyone is watching on their phone. No one realizes the silhouettes of the town outside of the window, but you realize that. The old red brick houses, playgrounds with children playing, grassland, and birds are flying. You are a person working for the government from 9 am to 5 pm business hours. During lunchtime, you stroll along a busy Lygon Street and wander into those ice cream shops and Italian restaurants. You are killing time by buying a piece of cake. Maybe you do not like eating sweets, but you would love to have a sweet little moment in your day.

Taking the train coming in every 30 minutes and a 5minute walk, you arrived home. Play a bit with your little daughter and help your wife to cook. After finishing dinner, you chill your day by watching a video from Netflix, and Tomorrow is your weekend. You are planning to go for a walk with your family in an outdoor park.

You go to bed at 10 pm. A day of living in Melbourne carved into your memory.
