I had read about this lounge called Minus 5, and was trying to convince the girls to come with me. For some reason, they weren’t as thrilled at the idea as I was. Basically the whole lounge is kept at a temperature of at least -5 degrees since everything is made of ice - the tables, chairs, glasses (which are shipped in from New Zealand). You pay a cover charge, and are allowed in for only 30 minutes. Before you enter, you are given a huge Eskimo coat, two pairs of gloves, and some winter boots to put on. Even after losing the sensation in my fingers, I would have to say that the experience is definitely worth going through – only once though.
Night Life
The party scene in Sydney was alright. I wasn’t thrilled with the music selection since it didn’t vary over the course of the night. There’s only so much house/techno music I can take. Also, what was considered hot was actually not - eg. the song with the Pussy Cat Dolls and Snoop. If you were looking for a hip-hop or reggae club, you were limited to finding out when the hip-hop or reggae night was. Luckily we had met MacDonald (from Zimbabwe) who took us out on the hip-hop night. The DJ did a pretty good job of mixing it up, but as the night wore on, I felt like I was Down South. Call me biased!
To summarize SYdney we:
- Walked around and photographed the Opera House
- Climbed the Harbour Bridge
- Checked out the Rocks – Australia’s birth place and tourist hot spot
- Partied in Kings Cross
- Shopped at the Paddington markets near Oxford Street
