| Epitome of Kings Cross |
A few blog posts back, I wrote about the clubbing and bar
area of Sydney’s Kings Cross. The
best words to describe Kings Cross are: ‘a beautiful disaster’. From rumors of
organized crime and prostitution, to drag queens on every corner, to some of
the best nightclubs in Sydney, Kings Cross is definitely one of a kind. When I lived in Elizabeth Bay, I was
only blocks away from the Cross, and needless to say, I saw some of the most
interesting sights that I have ever seen.
As someone who holds her notepad in her phone as one of the most
treasured applications of the iPhone, I would jot down scenes I would witness
in Kings Cross at all hours. So
without further ado, here are the top KX sights I’ve seen during my stay in
Sydney:
- A drag queen ordering a cappuccino. This was witnessed on my way to work, which is around 8:30am. Hey, no matter your profession, the mornings are always a bit easier to accept when accompanied with a cup of joe.
- A koala-suited pervert. While walking to the bars one night in the Cross, we passed by a human-sized koala swinging his hips… and umm… his koala privates.
- A different bachelorette party on every block. Nautical themed, 80s themed, Great Gatsby themed, hot mess themed. Girls in electric pink boas, crowns and veils. Every corner, every weekend.
- An aborigine playing the didgeridoo for tips. This is not a very uncommon sight for Australia, but in the Cross, it has been the only time I have seen an indigenous man didgeridooing alongside the beats of Snoop Dogg’s “Drop it Like It’s Hot”.
- The drunkest argument I have ever seen... at 8am. Two very intoxicated squatters [I assume they were homeless by their lack of clean clothes, and their interest of aggressively drinking until sunrise – soz I'm generalizing] were in an altercation on my way to work one morning. I walked passed as the Kings Cross cops were just arriving, but I did hear one of the drunkards scream, “DON’T TOUCH MY HAIR!” before kicking the other drunkard making him fall to the ground. It was way too much drama for my morning, to say the least.
- The musical stylings of the Funky Rabbit. This sight was very similar to the human-sized inappropriate koala, except it was dressed as a rabbit and had its privates censored. The Funky Rabbit [fake] played the bass guitar and danced for tips on the corner - I wonder what his day job is...? [Naughty Koala perhaps?]
Now, if that doesn’t make you want to come visit the
hideously awesome sights of Sydney’s Kings Cross, then I don’t know what will.
