Today, we visited an author and young, live in residence authors. Archimede Fisillio is an author of over 20 books. His books are mainly based on his life up till now. He especially noted on the two books, " The Dons" and " Bruises, Boys don't cry..". The stories are based on his grandmother and his dear friend whom has already passed away. They are heart moving stories twisted around these two characters and how they lived their life. He told us their background, how much he meant to them and how they died. It moved us to tears. Afterwards, we had a marvelous lunch at "Nandos" and proceeded to the young writers in residence where writers aged 18+ write short stories and try to get it published. A writer, Eliza, has just recently gotten one of her stories, " Skin on Skin" published. They explained the frustrations and persistence they had to go through just to get their books published and how their passion to write a book started.Well that's about it for today.. Night people!^^

3rd day in Perth
Today, we went for a writing workshop with the teacher, Kevin price. He taught us how to properly plot a narrative story. He showed us the different ways we could gather ideas for our stories such as imaginative visual exercises etc. I loved visiting the art gallery best and learnt that the aboriginal people created art not just for the fun of it.. But also to relate stories of their lives and teachings. It was like visiting a museum where we learnt history with pictures and not words.. As they say, " a picture speaks a thousand words". Well, that's all for today.. G'night mate! XD

First day in Perth just ended!!! Today, we covered monument hill, the wildlife park, visited a chocolate factory and seen the inside of the Parliament House. The animals in the wildlife were the best! They were friendly and adorable! Their fur as soft as a plush toy. We saw the wombat, kangeroos and the koala.We experienced what it was like to be in the parliament house and how they decided on a decision for the state. These are what I liked most about today! Will keep you posted about the trip! Please contact me here on the blog and not call nor text me okay..? Night! ^w^
