Culture is the drug I’m thinking of.
At EJ, we are often trading songs, recipes, movies and books.
We feed on culture. It is our sustenance.
Without our cafe, terrace hangout or the Realm of Possibilities to hang out in, we’re trading culture via Hangouts like a Victoria Market stallholder trades organic garlic.
With pride and a little desperation.
Here’s a recent list of the music we’ve been gorging on.
