After my surgery this morning, I cruised my way north through the CBD.
Sydney has some beautiful skyscrapers, and lots of nice folk…but where is the flavor? A lot of downtown reminds me of Singapore: sterile, multi-level shopping emporiums with food courts. It’s kinda like the whole CBD isnone big Westfield Center.
No homeless, no street performers, no skaters, no punks, no style, no urban culture. No attitude, no verve, no edge, no city edge. Everyone is white or Asian. Luckily, I was staying on the edge of Chinatown, which had some good flavor.
Most disturbing was the painful absence of pretty women. Did they get word that I was coming and hide them away? I mean, I used to see more beautiful women walking across the street to Peet’s Coffee at my old office downtown than I saw in 2 days in downtown Sydney!
Clearly, it was timeto move on.
ps- the images are taking too long to upload, so I'm going to have to try some other option to get up the photos.
