red light!!
kings cross Well well well what can I say people?? I am lazy. Very lazy. How long have I been here?? 7 weeks. Have I nothered to do a blog?? No. am I remorseful. No.. I mean yes. Anyways now that I have got the apologies over and done with I suppose its time to let you all know what I have been doing with my life in sunny ol Sydney. Sydney is wonderful. I am not gonna lie. It is really great. I have had the best time so far. We are living in an area called kings cross. Basically it’s the red light district of Sydney and before I got here everyone I knew who has been here has said “oooh no kings cross?? That’s well dodgy”, great we thought sounds right up our street!! And it is!! Ha ha!! No its not that bad at all. I mean compared to Birkenhead it’s literally paradise ha ha!! Ooh how I miss the kfc in the north end!! Anyways yeah we are living in kings cross in a backpackers called the jolly swagman. we were looking for a flat but basically we couldn’t find one because we are lazy (I can see
hello!!
hello!!!!!!! where this is going) so we are here till the new year. Everyone is so friendly and its full of people from the wirral!! Strange that. We have someone from oxton who I nicknamed posh boy and someone from meols too?? Weird. So enough of my ramblings. What have been up to I hear you ask. Well pretty much getting drunk a lot and eating fast food. Not good for the body but great for the soul !! In oz they have something called goon and when drunk you turn into a goon, or in my case just more of a goon. Basically it’s a 4 litre box of wine and it costs about 4 quid!! I don’t know how much of it I have drank so far but its too much to remember. We all sit outside drinking goon and watching the world go by. Its great. What else have I done I hear you ask? Mmm. I nearly got eaten by a shark!! Ha ha!! Me and the lads (that’s dunc, carl and craig from n Ireland) went to bondi beach!! You gotta go aint ya and we were there chilling on the beach checking out the ladies
when me and carl decided to go body boarding!! Wet suits on, board in hand and away we go!! The waves were great and we were paddling around having a great time when we realized we had been taken out by a rip about 200 metres. I nearly soiled myself. The more we tried to swim back in the further out we got!! I started to panic. We looked like a coupla seals and there have been 7 big shark sightings lately on that beach. Anyways luckily for us some canoeists came by laughed at us and gave me a lift back in, then he fell of his canoe ha ha!! Also the surfers were laughing at us and apparently it’s always the brits that do it!! Anyway there you go. After that we walked from bondi to coogee which is another beach which is really nice and far better than bondi. Talking about coogee its where we are gonna spend chrimbo day. On the beach. BBQ. Beers. Lovely ladies in bikinis. Mmmm. Oh how I miss the cold of new brighton beach. Now it hasn’t been all drinking beach and near death experiences. I have a job. As a
debt collector!! I just missed it so much that I had to do it again!! I work in north Sydney which is not far from where I live and I work with a load of ozzies!! Really nice people too even if they do rip me for being a pom!! They love us really!! No its great and everyday I get on the train and cross the harbour bridge, look to my right and go past the opera house. Its bliss really it is. Sydney as a city is just wonderful. Its busy and theres always something to do. Last week we went to manly which is a ferry ride from syd. Its lovely and by far the best beach in Sydney. We got there and what did we see?? The new brighton hotel!! Ha ha!! Great. The weather has been weird here too. One day itll hit 35c the next it’ll be cold a rainy. I thought it was hot every day but there you go. Its weird tho seeing Christmas trees and hearing carols in this weather. Its not right man. I don’t get it. Itll be nice on chrstmas day tho as I have made so many
goon!!
cheap and very cheerful!! great mates and we are all gonna spend it together I think. Loads of brits loads of irish, Canadians, germans. Its gonna be great. anyways i have run out of ideas, i have donje sooo much more but my brain is addled!! oh yeah i hope u all like the pics. sorry there sint any of bondi or manly, i got my camera nicked so these are on my new cam. oh yeah and i promise not to be soo lazy and will send a new one soon!!!
peace and love

st. mary's church
hey adam i fuckin' loVed sydney too. I spent most of my time at st. mary's church, opposite hyde skating, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for religion. Be sure to check out the chinese market, which i amsure you have.. i think, iyts past the top end of pitt street. well, i used to go there and for 6 bucks, get a beats of a chinese meal. Oh yeah, there is a coffee shop in kings cross... Its really small when you go into it... it has tight stairs that go up to an area that has chess boards and that.. can seat about twenty people all up.... Well, i got a few greens from the guy whom runs it. So, give that a go. Also, i totally buzzed off Maroubra.. which is about twenty minutes fdrom sydeny, has a sick skatepark on the beach... that well worth a visit. I was living across the darling hatrvor bridge... near a 24 hour bar (the pyrmount... maybe) anyway.. sharing a room with a mate, with a balcony and with a gym and swimming pool and two minutes from darling harvour and that was fourty quid a week.. welll mate carry on enjoying i fuckin love that place and can understand all that you are expressing merry festivities jono wyn xx
