In the district of Exarcheia in central Athens you never know quite what to expect along the narrow streets which are full of shops, restaurants and bars … Hipster musicians and communists, high school students out for some fun and drunks on every corner. University students coming and going between the all night kebab shops [...]

Last Sunday was ANZAC Day here in Australia. It not only commemorates the invasion of Gallipoli, but also serves as a day to honor the men and women who serve in Australia armed forces. I covered three of the official events in Sydney. Here are the links to the stories I filed at Demotix:
