About

G’day, mate! I’m Haiku Hughesy, your friendly neighborhood blogger from the heart of Melbourne. No, I can’t actually write haikus (five-seven-five is harder than it looks, mate), but I do try to bring a bit of Zen to the Aussie hustle and bustle.

As a middle-aged bloke with a passion for both Vegemite and miso soup, I spend my days navigating the concrete jungle of Melbourne and my nights penning down thoughts on everything from local laneways to the intricacies of Japanese tea ceremonies. My political compass points slightly left, but like a well-pruned bonsai, I try to keep a balanced perspective. You’ll find me championing for fair go’s and social harmony with the persistence of a sumo wrestler.

When I’m not busy turning green tea into blog posts, you might catch me attempting to master the art of sushi rolling (still working on not turning it into a Chiko Roll), or engaging in heated debates about whether bubble tea should replace beer as our national drink. So join me on this wild ride through the streets of Melbourne and the torii gates of my mind. Just remember, like learning to use chopsticks, reading this blog gets easier with practice.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu,

Haiku Hughesy
