You know in Japan they have cafes where you can eat with the cafe's cats? They have lots of play toys in the cafe for the cats. Each cat also have their own selected menu that they would like you to try. Its cute Yeah, so many people want to open cafes nowadays, I think I wouldn't mind opening one up either. It would definitely have to sell cakes and chocolates and iced chocolates haha.

The last thing I bought was my Deakin Uni $250 parking permit. I like shopping for dresses, jackets, perfume and books but really haven't been buying them lately I have been saving money.

^ has way more posts than me! That never ever happened before on the previous AN forums :'( haha.

Honestly, I just want them to end Ash's adventures with him becoming a Pokemon Master... I need to see him become a Pokemon Master before I die!! But I guess they feel they can't replace his character since they might lose Pikachu but then Ash is always leaving his Pokemon behind so maybe its time his Pokemon leave him behind

I really don't want to go to Bali. Haha, I was always put off after Schapelle Corby got caught with drugs and she said someone else must have put it in her bag... whether if that is true or not, haha well it scared me off Indonesia! Yeah, going to the UK would be amazing. Especially since my nana's dad grew up there so we could have long lost relatives living there. Plus I would try to find the town that nana's dad lived in so I could take photos and show my nana since she has always been curious about it, plus it would be good to meet the rest of Alex's relatives. And lucky you, Optic!! You're going to Japan again?? Wow! Have fun.

Nope, unfortunately I am not a fan of the Legendary Pokemon, they're not cute enough for me... maybe Entei would be my favourite if I had to pick one.

Oh, poor Docklands! It has received a lot of criticism. Its had a bit of bad luck. Its main attraction is the Melbourne Star which is an observation wheel which will slowly go around and you are supposedly meant to be able to see great views of Victoria. Unfortunately this wheel had many faults and had to be closed down for years. This meant that a lot of local businesses situated in the Docklands have struggled since the tourism just isn't there. Luckily, the wheel is up and running again, it almost got closed down again. I haven't been on it since none of my friends are game enough to go on it due to its troubles. I know that in Singapore and London they have similar wheels but they're much better. I would suggest anyone who goes to the Docklands to go on the observation if they really want to but I have heard its nothing special since most of the views are blocked by big buildings. Sigh. My favourite place to go when at the Docklands though is Glow In The Dark Mini-Golf. It's really nice. Perfect for a date or a fun day out with family and friends. www.glowgolf.com.au/‎ Docklands also have boat cruises as well. I am yet to go on one but they look really cool. You can go on a cruise that has theatre live entertainment or just a simple buffet or three course meal. I agree with Optic. Definitely go to the Queen Victoria Market and the Skydeck. The Skydeck is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I believe that there isn't much to do in the Docklands so those travelling Melbourne are best to go to other parts of the city or state. For amusement parks, we have Luna Park which is right next to the St Kilda beach and its just a tram ride away. I would also suggest visiting China Town. There are some really nice clothes shops for girls there. Melbourne also has some really cool themed restaurants. There's even a Titanic inspired theatre restaurant. Melbourne has lots of theatre restaurants such as Witches in Britches and Dracula's. We also have some really cool bars. For the anime fan, there are Robot Bar and the Asian Beer Cafe. I would strongly suggest Asian Beer Cafe over Robot Bar, only cause the cocktails are cheaper and better there. Also, go into the toilets while you're there cause they're kind of unique. There is also, Chill On Ice which is an interesting bar where you go below freezing temperatures and have a nice cocktail drink in a frozen glass. Everything in there like the tables and chairs are made out of ice! http://www.chillon.com.au/ We also have outdoor cinemas. There's one in the city called the Rooftop Cinema. rooftopcinema.com.au/‎ There are a lot of nice places which are an hour away from Melbourne - they include Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm - that's where you can pick strawberries and you can also buy the most amazing strawberry desserts. We also have lots of fun mazes around. There are also some nice drive in cinemas still around as well such as www.drivein.net.au/‎ and www.lunardrive-in.com.au/‎ There's probably more I can think of... haha.

There are a lot of places I want to go to as well. Singapore, America, China, Japan, European countries such as England, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, France. I don't really think it will happen though, things are too expensive but I would like to go to them all. I was thinking Europe would be the first place I would like to go to but then I would have no one to go with since Alex (my boyfriend) is not interested in going to places like France and England since his family already took him there, plus he thinks English speaking countries like England and America are too similar to Australia

I also owned a Nokia. It was the second phone I owned. It was pink and a flip phone. I loved it and was probably the phone I had the longest out of all my phones and I never had an issue with it. It is really funny cause when I first met my best friend I found out she had a black version of that phone, ever since we have always had the same phone!

Yeah I did. Halfway through the Hoenn series I stopped watching. I got really bored with it after they changed the voice actors. But I am surprised you stopped watching it after Misty left considering you were obsessed with May! And yes, I remember the fansite quite well. Its weird growing up, I really did prefer May over Misty but now I realise Misty was way better haha.

Can't really bring too much input into this thread since I haven't traveled much but when I went to Sydney in November I went with Virgin. It was fine, nothing went wrong on the way up, there were no TVs or entertainment but on the way back there was.

For me it was a happy night I got to go out to a romantic Italian restaurant for dinner with my boyfriend. But there seemed to be a lot of issues for people this Valentine's Day cause most restaurants seemed to have long waiting times for the main. I waited an hour and a half for mine but a friend at another restaurant waited over two hours!! But it was all good for me since I got lots of free wine, whoo!

Pretty embarrassing to say but I have been re-watching Pokemon from the start.

I have never had a dishwasher so I have never really used one before. My uncle and auntie have one though. They didn't realise that you are meant to rinse the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher. When my nana rinsed off their plates and put them in the dishwasher, they said "What is the point of owning a dishwasher if you do that?" Then their dishwasher broke down and the guy who fixed it asked whether or not they had rinsed their plates, glasses ect before putting them in the dishwasher. Lol I think they learned their lesson.

Wow even if I had a water proof phone I wouldn't be washing it! Did you get it to work again?

Since moving out of home in September, I moved into an apartment that has a shower bath (so two in one). I've really taken to enjoy baths more since they are so relaxing but I still have showers a lot though but sometimes when I feel like being in the water a lot longer I have a bath.

Welcome, Robin to the forums. My name is Caroline and I hope you will have lots of fun here

As a kid, Charmeleon drove me insane. I thought, how could such a cute Pokemon turn into this ugly bitchy creature? Haha. Though I still don't like Charmeleon I do like Charizard now that he likes Ash I cried when he left Ash but he always returns when Ash needs him the most. Why did you stop watching after Orange Islands?

Oh wow, Optic I only just looked at the picture of your car now and I am shocked! Poor you it must have been heart breaking to lose your car due to an accident. Haha I am sure my car's colour is similar but luckily no one seems to think it is the sky since its on the ground haha. But at least you didn't cause the accident One of my friends ended up crashing two cars in a year, completely writing them both off. But ... the state of your old car reminds me of my best friend's car. She stopped at a giveway sign and the person behind her did not causing her boot to be completely destroyed, her insurance haven't gotten back to her yet about what they will do about her car. About what colour Suzuki Swift I will get one day, I am unsure.... I think either red or yellow On Boxing Day, my car had a nice 2 hour drive to Ballarat... all up 4 hours in one day to meet some of my boyfriend's relatives. We were meant to get a lift from my boyfriend's parents but I soon discovered it was because they thought my car was too old to travel such distances. I felt very insulted and drove there anyway! I proved them wrong and I feel proud despite when I got there his dad said, "I was just waiting for the car to plonk out on a hill." Very mean, I am slowly getting over this comment and at least he knows he made a mistake by saying that since I am very defensive over my car.

Yikes, how long did you watch Pokemon for? Well at least you remembered two of the best Pokemon including Charmander I was so sad when he evolved.

I didn't watched much of it but I did watch a few youtube clips in it cause it had some of the old Digimon characters in it if they had a sequel season to Tamers (too many years has passed for this now ) I would be watching it in a second!!

^ sent me a package!!!

Vulpix is my favourite Pokemon because she is so cute and looks like a fox I was devastated when she left the series! My second favourite would be Ponyta because I love horses and would love to imagine what it would be like riding a pony with flames on it

Interesting news! Australia are finally trialing home deliveries in Sydney! I wonder how it goes I wish it was happening in Melbourne I would totally call up for a home delivery so I could review it on here to just see what it is like
