Cabramatta, suburb of Sydney. I read its been cleaned up now but when I went there in 97 doing a sales job, it was a mental heroin hell-hole. It was like the city had decided to just let all the addicts go there and leave it to rot. All the sober people were Vietnamese business owners - the whites were mostly like characters from the walking dead. People were sprawled all over the place, I must have been offered heroin 10 times - they all just assumed that was why I was there. I refused a young lad a smoke coz I'd already given half a pack away that morning. He was shaking and collapsed in front of me, hitting his head hard on the concrete. A geyser of blood shot up from his forehead. I ran into the doctor's surgery beside and called for the doctor. He was Vietnamese and took one look, just shook his head like he saw it every day and called an ambulance. Your man was still out when the ambulance arrived.
Later I was walking down a street and two cops stopped to search a likely looking lad walking in front of me. He pointed at me and asked 'why aren't you stopping him too, mate?' Just then a new bright red bmw with the top down drove past, the gold covered Lebanese looking passenger smiled at me before gobbing full force at the cops, hiiting one on the back of the head. The driver put the foot to the floor and disappeared round the corner. All the shops were like banks with the stock and tills behind the counter. I was trying to sell a phone line to a pawnshop owner when I heard a Dublin accent behind me. An early 20s girl was trying to sell jewellery and arguing with one of the staff over the price. I chatted to her for a while. Turned out she was from Dun Laoghaire, arms marked to bits. I asked her did her family know where she was - she said they thought she was still backpacking. She made a quick exit when I turned the conversation towards getting help. |

Anyone ever been to downtown Vancouver?
Saw a documentary a few years ago, seems to be plagued with a Heroin problem and it's all done out in the open.

Shankill Rd or Sandy Row : friendly but clearly felt in the wrong part of town
Daly City in San Fran: plenty of characters sitting around the BART station deciding which granny to mug Newcastle and Liverpool in parts Dundee was a kip too In other parts of the world, probably close to the Serbia/Bulgaria border inside Serbia, saw a few villiages that were gypsy ghettoes.

to be fair a lot of the pubs that have bad reputations such as the fob and gill the red cove the hollyhill inn are not as bad as people make out, usually they are clannish but i bet you there are more people thrown out of the East Village in douglas than there is out of these places.

The East Village is on a very short list of places I have been thrown out of. We were having a good sing song at about six o'clock and we got two warnings.

Agreed Kevin. I grew up 5 mins away from the fob and gill and it's not that bad at all. And the foxes is fine too. |

Got held up at gun point by a dozen or so Zapatista rebels in the Chiapas region of Mexico last year. That was pretty hairy. It was also just days after getting caught in a riot in the Estadio Azteca at the season opener for Club Americas. Some buzz. So probably Mexico.
Although like D69er, I've also been to Rhyl, so it's a tough call. Never seen so any mobility scooters also. |

That's some account - didn't think Sydney would have a place like that even back in the day. Must ask my uncle about the place he's lived in Sydney for 40 years

I'd say he'll know it alright - the place was infamous - the local MP was shot dead a couple of years before.

They were a bit arsey when they didn't get their pay-off. They had spike strips you see, so we had to pay up to let our bus pass. Anyway, there was only about 12 of us on a 44 seater bus, so I think they were expecting quite a bit more loot. So after quarantining our bus and escorting us off it at the business end of a few AK's and sticks with nails in them, we had to make our own way to a place called Palanque. Pretty dodgy too as it was nightfall. Other than that, I couldn't really tell you. Was fully behind their wishes for indigenous rights and protection of their lands however, just not the whole shakedown thing they were at. Did a quick google of it and seems a good few others have ended up in the same hassle. Probably the same lads who held us up Edited by heighway2heaven - 02 Nov 2016 at 4:54pm |
