These are the people in your neighbourhood...

In the city last weekend we saw a couple of interesting characters. Due to the onset of H1N1 or Swine flu, people have been keen to check themselves before they wreck themselves. Asians are particularly suspicious of flu's and have been there done that with avian flu so I shouldn't have been surprised when I saw luggage chick.



I was with Aaron who was worried she'd get angry. Yeah and do what? She's worried about a flu that some Americans have died from and is a perceived risk. It says to me, she's not prepared to risk a run in with a chubby asian guy snapping her and she surely would not drop her suitcases and chase me down the road.

We got down to Circular Quay and saw this guy next.



Wow. Times are tough for Spiderman. He's lost Mary Jane and his job at the paper and now he's tying balloon animals for a living. From the photo though, you could assume he loves it hence his upward pointing thumb and heart shaped balloon but his broken eyes and flacid lycra tell a different story. He is a sad and broken man who would get rocked by Doc Ock if the Doc were still alive.

They're not really people in your neighbourhood because one's a tourist and the other is a homeless superhero, but you get me dontcha?
