Vika decides to start developing Shatalin's children immediately. Denis and Masha manage to turn away, but Ksyusha is forced to learn to play the cello. Moreover, the insatiable Vika makes Ksyusha a participant in the television contest of young talents, where she fails with a bang...

8: Denis came on vacation from the Suvorovsky school and asks his father to let him and his friends go to St. Petersburg. Maxim refuses. Vika intervenes, but also gets a refusal. Denis touches Vika: he says that his father does not take her opinion into account, and that she is still just a nanny. Baba Nadia and Prutkovsky advise Vika to get her way by refusing Maxim to have sex. But in the bedroom, seeing Maxim, Vika can't stand it herself and pounces on him. The next day, Vika hires a new nanny, and she, on Konstantin's advice, goes to the club for a prestigious party. But there she finds neither friends nor a decent occupation. In her absence, children have questions in which only she can help. The new nanny, feeling unnecessary, quits. In the evening, Maxim confesses to Vika that he loves her both as a wife and as a nanny.

9: Maxim believes that Vika allows children too much, moreover, she defends Maxim's interests. Masha brings her boyfriend Mikhail to visit. Maxim is conservative, Vika is on the contrary. There is a quarrel. By night, the passions had subsided. But the next day Maxim finds out that Masha decided to move in with Misha and, what is even more outrageous, Vika allowed her to do so. A storm eruped. Vika went to see her dad for advice. Dad's advice helped. The family is together again. Moral foundations have not been violated.

10: Vika receives a long-awaited invitation to the party of Rublev's wives. There she finds out that it's not enough to be just the wife of a rich man. A woman must necessarily have her own business: a club, an art gallery or a restaurant. Vika decides to open a restaurant. Maxim gives her money for premises and promotion. Finally, the restaurant is ready to receive the first visitors. But there are no visitors. To attract the public, Vika will repurpose her establishment into a Peruvian restaurant. But the exotic doesn't attract customers. Zhanna invites restaurant critics to write positive reviews about the restaurant. Zhanna's sudden benevolence alarms Vika. And not for nothing! However, Zhanna's cunning eventually turns into a benefit...

11: Things are not going well at Vicky's restaurant, and the workforce, consisting mainly of Viki's relatives and friends, goes on strike. And at this time, Maxim comes up with the idea to stage the musical "Bremen Town Musicians" in the style of "chanson" and invite the star of this specific genre - Sergei Kylo to the main role. As a result, the musical fails. Sergei Kylo's "Roop", which financed the production, is dissatisfied and demands a refund. Shatalin's life is under threat. But Vika finds a way out, and the musical, which failed on the theater stage, with great success called "Bremen Tourers" begins to go on the stage of restaurants!…

12: There was a disappearance in the theater where Maxim stages the musical. To find the thief, Zhanna gets Maxim's permission to rumage through the biographies of employees. And he finds out that Vika never graduated from school, and Konstantin has a criminal record. In order to improve her reputation and get a certificate, Vika goes to the senior class of the school where Masha studies. Vic's school is the center of attention. She has a lot of friends and suitors. And she spends all her free time with them. She really likes going back to school. What about Masha? She's not in their company. None of her former friends pay attention to her. And Masha is doing homework alone. The passing of the laboratory chemistry workshop is approaching. Will Vika hand it in?

13: Maxim and Zhanna are preparing a new comedy production with the role of a butler. And Konstantin really wants to play this role. But Maxim is categorically against the fact that the family participates in his productions. Zhanna still persuades Maxim to listen to Konstantin. Why does she need it? To once again rejoice over him. Konstantin fails at the audition. Konstantin and Vika are indignant, they consider it unfair. They have an idea to deceive and make fun of Maxim and Zhanna. Vika, having changed into a man, successfully passes the audition for the role of a butler. And he is already going to take off his wig and beard, but after hearing words of delight from the producers, promises of a bright future and the amount of fees, he decides to wait.

14: His university friend, a lucky businessman Vlad Sablin, came to Maxim. They get drunk all evening, and the next day Maxim goes on a business trip urgently. Vlad comes to the house and tells Vika that Maxim hastily forgot to write him a check for half a million dollars. Vika writes a check, Zhanna objects. On the same day, Vika and Zhanna find out that Vlad is all in debt. Zhanna rubs her hands - finally Vika is thrown out of the house. Vika goes to Vlad's house in despair. Vlad is ready to return the money, but an inner voice tells Vika that he should be given a chance. Meanwhile, Konstantin receives a letter about the inheritance. He will inherit the title and estate. Konstantin became proud, stopped working, started shopping expensive. Later it turns out that there are plenty of other applicants for the title, and the estate is unprofitable.

15: Vika continues to revolve in the company of Rublev wives and look for a decent occupation. Now she announces that she is going to open an art gallery. From her neighbors, Vika finds out that it is now fashionable to discover new names among the gallery workers. Vika makes everyone at home to demonstrate their painting skills. The result does not please Vika and she turns to a professional artist. But the situation there is no better. As a result, Maxim's youthful drawings are demonstrated at the opening of the gallery. But the fire alarm goes off and the pictures are flooded with water...

16: Maxim wants to involve one of the stars, Sergei Kurnosov, in his production. Meanwhile, journalist Makar Polivalov writes an unpleasant article about the upcoming production. They say that all famous actors refused to participate in it. But if Kurnosov reads this article, he can also refuse. Maxim finds the strength to restrainedly ask Polivalov on the phone to change his mind and not write such articles anymore. At this moment, Vika bursts into the office, grabs the phone, is rude to Polivalova and hangs up. The next day, an article appears that completely discredits Maxim's plans. In it, Polivalov operates with information that was known only to the household. Vika and Konstantin suspect Zhanna's suitor. To report this, Vika again bursts into Maxim's office, where he is just going to sign a contract with Kurnosov. Maxim asks her to come out, but Vika, seeing Kurnosov, asks for an autograph. And just on the newspaper with an article that Kurnosov shouldn't have seen.

17: Vika dreams of a status car. Maxim is ready to buy her a car on condition that Vika gets a license. Vika offers Maxim to just buy her a license, as all her acquaintances do. But Maxim is categorically against it. Then Vika buys the license herself, but tells Maxim that she honestly passed all the exams. Maxim wants to check for himself how Vika drives the car. Vicky has only a few days to prepare and hand over Maxim driving. She takes night driving lessons from Konstantin. Maxim, who doesn't know why Vika runs away to the butler at night, starts to get jealous...

18: It seems to Vika that her relationship with Maxim has lost its former novelty. Maxim has completely earned money, pays little attention to her, sex has become commonplace. The children and Konstantin leave for the weekend, Vika and Maxim stay home alone. Vika wants to use this chance to light the fire of love and voluptuousness again. But it turns out to be not so easy.

19: At night, a Labrador dog is found in the Shatalins' yard. Ksyusha is delighted and wants to keep her. Vika follows her lead. Maxim is categorically against it and asks everyone to actively join the search for the owner. Zhanna notices that the dog looks like Koni, the Prime Minister's dog. After Zhanna's call, his friend from the Prime Minister's security has no doubts. What luck! Now they will meet the prime minister. But grandma Nadia disappoints everyone - the prime minister has a bitch, and this is the cable. Masha finds a photo of Nikolai Baskov's dog on the Internet. And the night guest looks a lot like him. Maybe his master is Baskov?

20: Maxim is waiting for a visit from his old friend from Paris - Countess Tarnovskaya. Vika is convinced that the Countess is an old woman. But it turns out that the countess is Maxim's childhood friend and his age. Appearing in the Shatalins' house, she begins to seduce Maxim. Vika is jealous and buys herself a fake family tree, according to which the Prutkovskys are an ancient Polish noble family. It comes to the fact that Vika is presented to the Moscow noble assembly. Dad, who appeared at the wrong time, involuntarily contributes to the exposition of Wiki. Maxim saves the situation.

21: Vika is watching the new neighbors. It seems to her that they are Chinese spies. Vika connects Galya to the spy. They get their hands on a parcel addressed to the neighbors. Opening the parcel, Galya and Vika find warm socks and lard in it. They decide that it is through lard that the neighboring spies get important information. To "split" them, Vika invites neighbors to visit. Here she tries to give her neighbor a drink, but the neighbor doesn't let her do it. Cunning questions also do not bring results. Galya starts entertaining the neighbors alone, while Vika does a search in the neighbor's house. Galya dances in front of the neighbors, sings, shows the shadow theater... At this time Maxim returns. After that, all misunderstandings are resolved. The fact is that the neighbors behaved so intensely with Vika only because of her strange behavior they considered Vika a spy...

22: Konstantin suffers because Zhanna doesn't pay attention to him. To interest her, Konstantin composes a story about the fact that he has a twin brother, with whom they were separated in early childhood. Now this brother is a major American producer. Having glued his mustache, Konstantin portrays his own brother and even has success with Zhanna. It comes to the point that Konstantin begins to be jealous of Jeanne for himself, that is, his fictional brother. He leads Zhanna to a restaurant, where the deception is revealed.

23: Vika takes Galya with her to the next meeting of Rublev's wives to look better against her background. At this meeting, Vika criticizes the book, the author of which is the Rublev lady present here, writing under a pseudonym. She offers Vika to write at least one book herself. Vika agrees. But her personal literary talents are clearly lacking and Vika turns to a professional - an unemployed writer Kolbaskin for help. Meanwhile, Galya is becoming an increasingly popular figure in a social party and even displacing Vika from there...

24: Maxim is extremely unhappy with what the press writes about Viki's scandalous antics. And he advises her to behave more cautiously and not to undermine his image. The family returns from a picnic and discovers that they forgot their dad in the forest. After a while, he appears all in soot. He says he extinguished a forest fire alone. No one believes him. But the next day TV correspondents come to the Shatalin's house and invite Prutkovsky to the TV show to tell about his feat. A very good moment to raise Vicky's image. Vika persuades her father to say that they extinguished the fire together and goes to the studio with him.

25: Maxim trusts Vika to organize the presentation of the new musical. Zhanna is convinced that Vika will not be able to cope. And if anything, Zhanna will help her not to cope. Vika and Galya surprisingly quickly find a room, musicians - everything so that the presentation takes place at the highest level. But Vika accidentally leaves her mobile phone in the living room. The administrator is calling her. Zhanna takes the phone. The administrator asks to confirm the order by five o'clock, otherwise he will cancel everything. Zhanna promises that she will certainly give Vika all the information. He writes a note to Vika in incomprehensible handwriting and hides it under a pile of papers so that Vika can't notice it right away. The presentation is under threat of disruption.

26: It seems to Gala that she is being chased by a maniac. And Vicky's credit card is running out of money. Maxim doesn't want to tell Vika the code from his safe, because he's sure that Vika will forget it. Vika swears that she will be able to remember the code. Maxim names the combination of numbers, and says that there will be a gift for Vicky in the safe. She will have to get this gift for dinner. But Vika forgets the code. In order not to embarrass himself in front of Maxim, Vika decides to break into the safe. Prutkovsky recommends Vika to contact their relative - a professional bear cub named Grizzly. He blows up the safe and instead of Vic's gift he finds only a burnt fragment of something unknown…

27: Vika meets her old acquaintance Katya, who is now known as Evelina Gimenei, a specialist in family relations and author of books on this topic. Vika persuades Maxim to take a training course on strengthening marriage. But it turns out that these activities are a way to get as much money as possible from trusting couples...

28: Zhanna is having a charity ball. Arriving there, Maxim finds out that he is declared "the prettiest bachelor of show business", and every dance with him brings a decent amount to the fund. When the news about it reaches Vicky, she breaks her head and rushes to the ball.

29: Maxim and Zhanna are going to fly to Paris on business, and Vika wins a voucher "Honey Weekend in the Cleopatra Cave" - a former pioneer camp, and now an elite holiday home. Many Wikin acquaintances have already visited this place and were satisfied. Maxim and Zhanna's trip to Paris is disrupted. Maxim goes with Vika to the "Cleopatra's Cave", where instead of the promised exotics, they are waiting for a completely "Soviet" service and stupid contests. And Zhanna remains to find out with Konstantin: which of them was more often "threwn" in her personal life.

30: The old chair that Maxim got from his great-grandmother turned out to belong to Prince Dolgoruky himself. Maxim gives a chair to the museum in the hope of becoming a member of its board of trustees. The solemn ceremony of his acceptance as a member of the trusteeship The council should take place in a few days. Ksyusha breaks Vika to go to the museum and look at her great-grandmother's chair. In the museum, Vika is photographed next to an armchair, accidentally drops a massive candlestick and it smashes the chair to pieces.

31: Vika and Maxim are invited to the wedding of Vikina's cousin. But Maxim's plans suddenly change. Together with Zhanna, he flies to Jurmala for a competition of young performers. In Jurmala, it turns out that all the hotels are overcrowded and one of the rooms they booked was occupied by Alla Pugacheva. Maxim and Zhanna will have to spend the night in the same room. It's about the night. Maxim and Zhanna decide who will sleep where. At this moment, jealous Vika climbs out from under the bed. And immediately an equally jealous Konstantin appears from the closet. Now they will have to spend the night in one room for four. And who stayed at home with the children then?

32: The Shatalins have new neighbors, the Kuskov family couple. He is an oil oligarch, she is a famous ballerina in the past. And also their daughter Juliet is the heiress to the oil and gas throne. Ksyusha comes to her house with Juliet and Konstantin treats the girls with his signature pancakes. Juliet is delighted. Vika dreams of getting to know such status neighbors better. She sneaks to their housewarming party and even invites the Kuskovs to her place. Vika is aware that the Kuskovs annually arrange a yacht trip for their friends and want to get into this circle. The Kuskovs really invite you to take part in the cruise, but not Maxim's Vikui, but... Konstantin. Konstantin also receives a tempting offer to work as a butler for the Kuskovs.

33: Vika has nothing to do. The children are already adults and do without it. Konstantin does all the housework. At this time, a bell rings in the Shatalins' house. The little girl got the wrong number. She says mom forgot to pick her up from school. Vika rushes to the rescue and brings the girl to her place. When it turns out that today is the girl's birthday, Vika arranges a real holiday for her: with a chic cake, a clown, pony riding and even an elephant. In the midst of the holiday, Maxim appears and has found the girl's mother. It turns out that the girl's birthday was a few months ago, and these calls from school to an unfamiliar number are just a way to have an interesting time, since the girl's mother is in business and is at work all the time. Nevertheless, Vika and the girl break up as friends. 

34: Vika dreams of getting into the prestigious Rublev fitness club, which is run by a handsome man from glossy magazines Tony Prince. And here's a lucky case - his car suddenly catches fire right in front of the Shatalins' house and Konstantin saves his idol. But the money lying in the glove box can't be saved. Tony saved this money for filming a methodical film about fitness. Vika decides to produce this movie. Maxim agrees after some hesitation. Vika and Tony become business partners. But then Vika notices that Tony shows no business interest in her at all.

35: Galya broke up with another suitor and is now in a deep depression. She moves to Vika's house, and in a couple of days all the household members moan from her whining and whims. Maxim demands that Vika kick out Galya. But Vika feels sorry for her friend and leaves the house with her. Maxim regrets that he behaved so heartlessly. And the enterprising Prutkovsky lures considerable sums from Maxim - allegedly in order to persuade Vika to return. In the end, everything falls into place. Galya is brought out of depression by the shawarma seller, and Maxim and Vika are together again.

36: Maxim's musical should go on tour to St. Petersburg. But the trip is on the verge of collapse, since the star of the musical, actress Olga Bobkova, can't go. Vika manages to find out the reason for the refusal - the star has a small son who has no one to leave with. No nanny can stand talking to a little bully for more than a day. Vika decides to shake up the old and work as a nanny. The actress is ready to go on tour. She brings her son to the Shatalins' house and it turns out that this "baby" is already sixteen years old! At the same time, he behaves like a six-year-old child. However, Vika shows a remarkable pedagogical talent and in two days the boy is literally unrecognizable!..

37: Konstantin decides to sell Maxim a play written by his friend and become a co-producer of the production. And all this in order to get rich and attract Zhanna's attention. But Maxim reacted to it coldly. Vika advises Konstantin to just confess his feelings to Zhanna. Konstantin believes that he can't do it until he gets rich. Then Vika offers Konstantin her help in staging the play. They pretend to be Maxim and Zhanna and start the production. A devastating article appears in the yellow press, which lists all their mistakes and miscalculations. This is a serious blow to the image of the Shatalin agency. Vika plays a scene of despair in front of Max and reports failure. Maxim is correcting the situation. After the successful premiere, Konstantin proposes to Zhanna.

38: Vika and the doctors were wrong - there was no pregnancy. It's just that Vika ate too far. Vika and Maxim decide to correct this mistake and conceive a child. Dad believes that Max's sperm at his age are no longer so active and advises Vika to turn to the Chinese doctor Fu. Vika buys the necessary roots from Dr. Fu to increase sperm activity and a whole box of special almond cookies for mutual attraction. Vika and Max don't get out of bed. Vika constantly checks whether she is pregnant with the help of a test. By chance, the cookie gets to Konstantin and Zhanna and a passion flares up between them.

39: Vika still wants a baby and is worried that she can't get pregnant. It seems to Maxim that it has turned into an obsession. He offers Vika to get distracted, go to the ski resort, where he was invited, among others, by the Prime Minister of Russia himself. Vika is delighted - she will get acquainted with the Prime Minister himself. Before the gala dinner, Maxim is afraid that Vika will blunt out something. However, at dinner, the premiere liked Vicky's immediacy so much that he invited Vic to go skiing with him a few days later. Maxim, on the contrary, he sheditated, carried all sorts of nonsense, which is why after the meeting he began to worry even more. Maxim teaches Vik to go skiing. Suddenly, Vika can't resist and rolls down at great speed. Maxim is behind her. As a result, they find themselves waist-deep in snow in a crevice. Afraid of freezing, they warm each other with love. A few days later, when there are only a few hours left before the walk with the prime minister, Vika finds out that she is pregnant. And he is in a hurry not to the prime minister, but to Maxim, to "the main man in his life".

[butchsophiewalten]

I'm wondering why Jenny didn't tell Sophie Jack's name during their /sophiwalten page convo? Like, I'm 100% sure she knew it. Jack was a famous person, all of Brighton was talking about his disappearance for three years, according to Derek Collins, Felix talked about him when he was interviewed. Why didn't she do it? She literally told Sophie that she would help her remember her family in every possible way. Then what is her help? Just film Sophie's testimony? How will this help her regain her memory? It makes absolutely no sense.

This is a confusing question to me, because I think it's really obvious that in the canon of The Walten Files, Jenny is not supposed to know about/have made the connection between Bon's Burgers, Bunny Smiles, the missing Walten family, and her girlfriend. Whether you think it makes sense and is believable that she would have no/very little knowledge about what was seemingly big news in the small town where she grew up is one thing, but to pretend like she absolutely does have information that she clearly really doesn't, just because you don't think it makes sense otherwise, is something else entirely.

To better articulate what I'm saying: This is a weird way to blame a character for a problem which you should actually be taking up with the writing. It's okay to have complaints about the way The Walten Files is written.

That ^ Is the most significant and important thing I have to say about this but I'm writing a lot more under the cut:

I'm interested by what makes you "100% sure" that Jenny knew Jack Walten's name and would have related that to the situation with Sophie. I agree that it doesn't make absolute sense that she would have no memory whatsoever of the Walten's disappearance, which was apparently big news in her small town when she was 18 (not exactly too young to remember it), but that circumstantial evidence doesn't contradict the textual evidence that when she's talking about BSI with Sophie, all she has to say about it is the rumors she's heard about Ashley and about Brian's recent disappearance.

I do think there are legitimate explanations for her lack of information here that make sense and are reasonable. Maybe she heard rumors around the time of the disappearance, but wasn't really keeping up with it? Maybe she had seen the name "Jack Walten" in the newspaper before his disappearance but didn't really look into it because she was already an older teenager and didn't really care about a new kid's restaurant. It's not like when a Big Event happens in a small town, it's instantly beamed into the collective consciousness of everyone who lives there. Especially in the pre-internet age, your knowledge of ongoing events was tied directly to how much you read the news, and how much gossip you listened to and believed.

I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine that a 26-year old Jenny Letterson wouldn't really remember the details of random newspaper gossip from 8 years ago, even if it was a big news story involving prominent local public figures. And I don't know what makes you think she would have known about and tuned in for the single radio interview in which that disappearance was addressed years later.

The thing about her filming Sophie's testimony also makes sense by itself, just evidenced by the fact that at the start of the conversation, when Jenny asks her to remember the oldest thing she can, Sophie recalls something that happened *later* than everything she eventually mentions later in the conversation. She's remembering more and more as she's talking and encouraging her mind to go back further, things which she may not remember so clearly when the conversation is over. Recording it gives her the ability to revisit those memories later.

Hiii I hope this isn’t weird but I’m traveling to Australia soon and I would like to know

what to do{I got recommended The Blue Mountain(The3sisters)}

Is there things(places) I should avoid?

Is there any customs Americans have that should avoid doing while in Australia?

Thank you so much I appreciate your time and response ♥️

Hey! Depends on where you're going. By the sound of it, if you've been recommended the Blue Mountains you're going to NSW. I don't know anything about NSW unfortunately, but I can tell you some stuff about Victoria!

I'll try and write some general stuff up, but if you send me another ask about what sort of stuff you'd be interested in doing/seeing, and how you're travelling (if you're planning to hire a car, or if you're going to rely on Ubers and public transport), I'd be more than happy to point you to some specific things :)

This'll be long, so I'll put it under the read more.

It depends what you're after, really. If you want to immerse yourself in nature, then we have some really fantastic natural areas such as the Otways, the Great Ocean Road, the Dandenong Ranges (not to be confused with the suburb Dandenong), the Yarra Ranges, the Macedon Ranges, and Victorian High Country etc. These are really fantastic places to walk around in the beautiful land. All these offer different hikes/bushwalks/walking trails that you can enjoy either by yourself or a mate. All these areas are very safe.

AVOID: TBH Victoria and Australia as a whole are very safe places, the only places I would recommend avoiding are outer suburbs of Melbourne. If you're going to the countryside you're largely going to be safe, I wouldn't recommend Ararat at night (they do have a really fantastic Chinese Museum there though), or some parts of Shepparton.

If you're interested in hanging out by the beach, there's heaps here. I wouldn't recommend Brighton beach, just because if it's a pain in the arse to get parking there depending when you'll be here, nor would I recommend Rye because it gets mad crowded. I'd also suggest going to Phillip Island, which has some cool stuff to do such as A Maze N' Things, which I think is geared more towards young children/families but I can't really recall. Phillip Island is most famous for its penguin parades, where you get to watch all the tiny little fairy penguins arrive home from their long days of fishing and swimming about. If you're really keen on animals, I also recommend Healesville Sanctuary (near the Yarra Ranges, it's about an hour and a bit from Melbourne), Werribee Open Range Zoo, and Melbourne Zoo (if you go to Melb Zoo, leave the car at home and take the tram! There's a stop right out the front :) ).

If you're keen on relaxing there's Daylesford, which is known as Victorian Spa Country because of... I'm sure you've guessed, the spas! It's also nice and close to some beautifully country towns such as Kyneton and Romsey which are part of the Macedon Ranges I believe. I used to holiday every year in Kyneton and Castlemaine, and they're really beautiful places. Castlemaine has a really great farmer's market every first Sunday of the month.

Near there, about an hour away, there's Sovereign Hill, which I highly recommend as it's SO much fun! It's a historical town, where everything is built like it would have been in the 1850s during the goldrush. You can do fun activities there like ride in a horse-drawn carriage, make your own traditional wax candles, and pan for gold in the river. If you go, I recommend you buy at least two jars of raspberry drops from the gift shop there: they are the best that you will find in the entire world.

Sovereign Hill is also close to Ballarat, which is a massive country town with beautiful architecture and some pretty nifty restaurants if you know where to look. I recommend The Forge, really delicious pizza, all wood-fired so the bases have that beautiful smoky taste. It also has a really nice ambience, and is IIRC next to a cute alleyway that has 100s of umbrellas hanging over like a little ceiling which is a great place to take photos :)

I'd also recommend Echuca, which is a far drive away but is worth it. Another old-style town with old-style shops. They have a really fun old-timey PENNY arcade (for reference, we stopped using pounds and pennies and switched to dollars in 1966) with arcade machines from 1900 to 1950. They also show old silent black and white films there. Just be careful with the bloke who runs the store because he'll try and trick you into electrocuting yourself on the electrocution arcade game 💀 it doesn't hurt dw but it does feel really weird.

Now for Melbourne. If you're looking for nightlife recommendations, I couldn't really tell you--however I can ask around and let you know. I would recommend checking out Melbourne Museum, of course, which is FANTASTIC. Beautiful displays of insects, they're absolutely mesmerising. We currently also have a display on Horridus, the triceratops fossil. It's a beautiful exhibit and you might cry a bit (I def did). There's also the State Gallery of Victoria, which is great fun as well. Do Not Go To The Restaurant There. It's nice! But it's overpriced. From there, you can hop on the tram back towards Federation Square, where you can find ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image--very interactive) and the Koorie Heritage Trust (which is a great place to go if you're interested in learning a bit more about the traditional owners of Australia and their art). If going to Fed Square, I recommend checking out Mabu Mabu which is an indigenous owned restaurant that uses native ingredients and flavours to make mega delish food. It can be a bit pricey tho, but definitely worth it!

Otherwise in Melb I would recommend the Queen Victoria Market (massive market with heaps of stuff for pretty cheap, can get really great food from here too!), Fitzroy Mills Market which is... it's a very trendy spot where you can get heaps of cool clothes and accessories. TBH it's not my cup of tea but there's also a bloke there that sells pretty nice toasties so it's fun to go to for that. I also recommend the Rose Street Market, beautiful handmade market with heaps of cool stuff. Can be pricey though, but even if you don't buy much from there, there's a lot of nice cafés and bakeries around that rule. It's also very close to the Fitzroy Market, so you can walk between them, as they run on the same days.

TBH for Melbourne, if you're interested pls send me an ask with stuff you're interested in, and I'll be able to narrow down some recommendations there. There's just a LOT of stuff to do in Melbourne as it is the State Capital.

Now for customs as an American that you should avoid while in Australia: this is a bit hard for me to answer as I've only been to the USA once so can't really remember that many differences so if any of these seem offensive to you, sorry. I would say you don't need to tip, but if you do it's appreciated. If you're on public transport, don't speak loudly on public transport, if you're driving, use your indicator/blinker. Our service culture is a lot different here, I would follow the etiquette of: the server/cashier/storeperson/whatever is doing me a favour, not the other way around, and this goes without saying but use please and thank-you with everyone for everything. Stick to the left!!! This goes for driving but for walking too, if you're walking around the city, stay on the left side of the footpath!!

God, that got long. Sorry!! Let me know if you have any other questions, esp regarding travelling around Victoria as I've done a HEAP of it with my family and can give you more specific recommendations if you would like :)

Most of all, when you're here, have fun! Strike up conversation with friendly looking locals and you will have a total blast.

I have now finally updated the ref sheet to the well renowned owner of Lime Ricky's Pizzeria and Soda Float Shop: Lime Ricky! (full name Richard Limerick)

I loved playing around with his color palette, so this was tons of fun!

(more info will be down below)

Lime Ricky is the owner, founder, and cook of Bright Light City's most popular pizzeria and soda float shop Lime Ricky's Pizza & Soda Floats, an adolescent/adult friendly version of Chuck-E-Cheese where the pizzeria (and arcade it comes with) is the main spot for the older kids and teens (and hungover adults coming from the many bars nearby) come to eat the greasy but addicting junk food and the soda float shop being for the number one hang out spot for teens and adults that want to stay away from the bar scene in Bright Light City and would rather have a nice soda float instead

Lime Ricky is very much well known for his laidback, easygoing, and overzealous with a really good snarky sense of humor but also a sleazy and shady business owner who only seems to show care for the creating of his greasy junk food concoctions, mixing up his world famous specialty soda floats, and/or when he's counting his money. He doesn't seem to care all that much about the upkeep or sanitation of the pizzeria like he does for his soda float shop nor does he give a shit about the supervision of the children who come there "as long as they asses get in the door an' their parents pay the cash" (as Ricky would put it himself)

As a result, kids are often seen unsupervised running amuck and causing chaos in the pizzeria, a lot of it also oddly caused by Lime Ricky's most favorite customer: Wispy Brighton!

Lime Ricky also comes from a long line of restaurant owners, chefs, and entertainers alike where he has learned about the three topics from his father (the owner and cook of a popular diner) and his grandfather (a business man and stand up comedian) and has put them into Lime Ricky's Pizza & Soda Floats

Another thing that Lime Ricky is (unfortunately) known for is having extremely greasy fur and hair and smelling of fried food and old cooking oil due to how long and frequent he works on the kitchen making pizza and other greased up foods alike, so many are hesitant when it comes to making physical contact with the rat!

------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

Wispy and Lime Ricky (and Dave) met each other at a house party that Wispy was throwing at his apartment one night and Lime Ricky just so happened to be one of the guests that night, once they met each other and realized they had similar interests (partying, weed, and junk food), they had hit it off right away and have been friends since

The reason why Wispy is Lime Ricky's most favorite customer and let's him eat for free is due to one: free weed from Wispy and two: Wispy's chaotic antics he causes at the pizzeria and going to the soda float shop to cool off afterwards was oddly bringing in more customers and money for him, so he's let him eat for free since

His favorite kind of pizza is half meat lover's pizza and half five-cheese pizza

His favorite kind of soda float is a Cherry Lime Ricky with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cherry and whipped cream on top

On Friday and Saturday nights, he does a stand up comedy routine on the stage of the pizzeria (which usually houses an animatronic band) to entertain the customers, which is pretty much just Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog mixed with Gilbert Gottfried

His favorite fruits are limes and cherries

------------------------------------------------------

Woo!! I hope that you guys enjoy him, he was a lot of fun!

Please enjoy!!

Setting: Brighton Beach

Saoirse has shut down one of the UK’s most famous beaches, Brighton Beach for Jack’s birthday. Brighton is a pebbly beach with certified Blue Flag waters a 4-mile promenade that buzzes with life in all seasons. It is known as London’s beach, even though it is 47 miles away. 

The waters can be chilly but are popular for swimming and watersports such as windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and wakeboarding. They all look good from the comforts of a deckchair! Kids can have fun in the free paddling pool. Sand is imported each summer to accommodate the volleyball court.

There’s a Victorian pier nearby and a traditional fairground along with cafes, restaurants, and beach clubs. Next to the pier is the Sea Life Centre which is probably the oldest aquarium in the world, dating back to 1872. All of this is included in the event.

[ad_1] Enjoy the Victorian splendour and Bohemian allure of Britain’s most progressive seaside resort with our guide to visiting Brighton on a day trip.   LAST UPDATE: 30 Dec 2023 Anywhere We Roam is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a small affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support - Paul & Mark. Since King George IV built his party pad, Brighton Pavilion, for regular royal romps by the seaside, Brighton has been the go-to-destination for a weekend of revelry. Closer to modern times, Brighton prides itself on being the poster child for inclusivity and counterculture. It has the highest density of vegan restaurants in the country, a thriving LGBT scene, edgy street art and quirky shops in run-down Victorian buildings. Our day trip to Brighton covers the most important attractions in the right order so you can see the best of Britain’s diverse seaside resort. The map at the end of this guide provides a walking route to take with you on your Brighton day tour. BRIGHTON DAY TRIP / MORNING COFFEE Brighton has excellent coffee, fuelled by a competitive independent café scene. Start your day out in Brighton with Coffee@33 near the train station. NORTH LAINE After coffee stroll around North Laine, (not to be confused with The Lanes, see below) a collection of quirky independent shops spread along a couple of narrow streets. The main section is based around Sydney Street, Kensington Gardens, Gardner Street and Bond Street. It’s our favourite part of Brighton with a laid-back, alternative vibe. You’ll find everything from vintage clothes to musical instruments. Stores packed with curiosities overflow onto the streets. There are cool record shops, bookstores, cafes, and plenty of great finds to be discovered. NORTH LAINE, BRIGHTON Keep an eye out for the street art and rooftop installations giving North Laine area its distinctive personality. Here are some of the shops to check out: Snooper’s Paradise – This famous vintage shop on Kensington Gardens sells bric-a-brac, clothing, vinyl, antiques, toys and much more.   Photomatic – Get a retro-styled snap at the Photomatic booth to remember your Brighton day trip. Dave’s Comics – Check out the excellent selection of graphic novels, comics, posters, children’s books, and Manga at Dave’s Comics. DAVE’S COMICS PHOTOMATIC SNOOPER’S PARADISE ROYAL PAVILION After exploring North Laine, continue down to the Royal Pavilion. The Royal Pavilion is a Grade I listed former royal residence. It was built as a seaside pleasure palace for King George IV while he was the Prince of Wales. His extravagance and passion for the good things in life resulted in the richly decorated whimsical palace you see today. It’s one of the most popular things to do in Brighton and it’s well worth visiting on a day trip. Tickets // Book Royal Pavilion skip-the-line tickets. BRIGHTON PAVILION PAVILION GARDENS Don’t miss the beautiful garden that surrounds the Pavilion. The organic garden maintained by a team of volunteers is a lovely free green space in the centre of Brighton.   BRIGHTON MUSEUM & ART GALLERY (OPTIONAL) The Brighton Museum & Art Gallery is just across the gardens from the Pavilion. The Fine Art collection contains some old masters and modern artists. The Ancient Egypt section is one of the largest in the country. There’s also a fashion collection, images of Brighton through the years and a section on design and technical innovation.   // Pavilion or Musum For a day trip, we’d recommend doing either the Pavilion or the Museum, but you probably wouldn’t have time to do both.   BRIGHTON PAVILION BRIGHTON MUSEUM PAVILION GARDENS THE LANES Next head downhill and into The Lanes. It was once the hub of the old fishing port of Brighton. Today it’s an area of tight lanes with restaurants, tea rooms, and some traditional pubs. It’s an often-recommended Brighton attraction. However, in our opinion, it’s only worth a quick stroll.

It’s mostly dominated by jewellery stores, but there are a few interesting spots including the Lanes Armoury and Paxon & Glew Art Gallery. THE LANES, BRIGHTON BRIGHTON DAY TRIP / LUNCH By now you’re probably ready for lunch. You could either grab something in the Lanes or walk down to the Fishing Quarter on the seafront and try some fresh seafood. Here are some suggestions: Lost in the Lanes – A contemporary restaurant in the Lanes with an excellent brunch and lunch menu. Brighton Shellfish & Oyster Bar – A Brighton institution on the seafront selling an excellent range of shellfish including Oysters from Jersey. The Brighton Smokehouse – Try a sandwich with traditionally smoked fish at this hole-in-the-wall café. LOST IN THE LANES BRIGHTON DAY TRIP / AFTERNOON FISHING QUARTER The Fishing Quarter is home to Brighton’s fishing heritage. Take a quick look around the free Brighton Fishing Museum then visit the other old vaults occupied by local artists, photographers, and independent traders. BRIGHTON BEACH Head along the seafront, towards the i360 to explore the beach. If the weather’s good you might have time for a quick swim. Alternatively, there are plenty of water sports available. You’ll also find plenty of bars and pubs spilling onto the beach. BRIGHTON FISHING QUARTER BRIGHTON BEACH BRIGHTON i360 Stroll past the iconic Brighton Grand Hotel on your way to the Brighton i360. Experience 360-degree views of the city and the seafront from the 162-metre-high rotating observation deck. Tickets // Book Brighton i360 skip-the-line tickets. WEST PIER RUIN Just opposite the Brighton i360, is the West Pier Ruin. It originally opened in 1866 and it was the first Grade I listed pier in England. Closed since 1975, the pier fell into gradual ruin until fires in 2003 destroyed much of what was left. It remains a slightly eery photo spot in Brighton. I360 WEST PIER RUIN UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE Continue along the foreshore to stop at the Upside Down House. Combining street art with an entertainment space, experience the illusion of zero-gravity inside the mind-bending house. Purchase a combined entry ticket for the Brighton i360 and the Upside Down House, saving 20%. BRIGHTON PHOTOGRAPHY Just behind the Upside Down House in the King’s Road Arches, we recommend popping into Brighton Photography. They have stunning images of the city and South Downs area by local photographers. UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE BRIGHTON BEACH BANDSTAND Continue along the seafront to the Brighton Bandstand. The ornate structure opened in 1884 and it was restored to its original condition in 2009. It’s considered to be one of the finest examples of a Victorian bandstand still surviving in England today. BRIGHTON PALACE PIER Retrace your steps and head back to the Brighton Palace Pier. The iconic Brighton attraction opened in 1899 and has provided fairground entertainment ever since. There are rides, arcade games, side shows and various play areas. The Helter Skelter is one of Brighton’s most recognisable attractions.   BRIGHTON PALACE PIER BRIGHTON BANDSTAND BRIGHTON DAY TRIP / EVENING SUNSET DRINKS After getting your kicks on the Palace Pier, grab sunset drinks. Palm Court Restaurant occupies a prime spot on the pier with unbeatable sea views. From November to January, large numbers of starlings congregate at dawn and dusk around Brighton’s pier. When they take to the skies it is a fantastic wildlife spectacle known as a ‘Starling murmuration’. BRIGHTON BEACH NIGHTTIME ENTERTAINMENT Brighton has a long reputation as an inclusive destination. At just 50 miles from London, it’s easy to take advantage of the nightlife on a day trip. The area of Kemptown is the gay capital of Brighton and it’s the perfect spot for a pub crawl. Black Dove, Plotting Parlour and Proud Cabaret are all worth checking out. The Brighton Dome is the top live music destination in town. It’s a unique venue that features everything from classical music to dance and comedy.

At the end of the night, walk back to Brighton train station and take the train back to London.

SEA LANES The Sea Lanes opened in June 2023 and transformed a previously neglected area of the Brighton seaside. While you may not have time to visit on your Brighton day trip, it’s a fantastic swimming venue with several bars and cafes overlooking the water. BEACH BOX SPA The Beach Box Spa is an all-year sauna set on the pebbles of Brighton. There are 3 different saunas: two 6-seaters and one 12-seater. The wood-fired, converted horse trailers also have panoramic views of the sea. Several treatments are available, and they host regular events with a healthy and mystic focus. BEACH BOX SPA SEA LANES SEA LIFE & ZIPWIRE Sea Life Brighton holds the distinction of being the oldest operating aquarium in the world. It opened in 1872 and continues to be one of Brighton’s star attractions. There are around 5,500 creatures in the Victorian aquarium. Just across the road Zip Wire Brighton is the longest zip line on the South Coast. BRIGHTON TOY MUSEUM The Brighton Toy Museum is located underneath the Victorian arches of the railway station so it’s a good thing to visit on your way in or out of town. It’s home to an extensive collection of toys from the golden age of toy manufacturing including rare vintage model train sets. BRIGHTON MARINA Brighton Marina is a harbour with shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Most of the restaurants are chain outlets you could find anywhere and it’s around 40 minutes’ walk from the Palace Pier, so we suggest you give it a miss on your day trip. TOY MUSEUM ZIP WIRE BRIGHTON MARINA HOW TO GET TO BRIGHTON Brighton is a seaside resort, 47 miles (76 kilometres) south of London.

August 7, 2022

Sunday was our first full day in London! Ingvar and I slept until about 8, then got ready for our day. Zach had found a place in Knotting Hill that he wanted to check out for breakfast, called Farm Girl. We took the bus to Ealing Broadway, then the underground to Knotting Hill. We walked around a little bit to find the restaurant, but it was a really nice day!

We had to wait a little bit, but then got seated in a cute, small restaurant. I ordered some fruity pancakes and a coffee and the food was tasty. It was nice to not feel jet lagged and hang out with Zach and catch up. It’s pretty entertaining listening to Ingvar and Zach—they have so many inside jokes and movie references they call back in conversation.

After breakfast we walked around Knotting Hill. We went into a few stores and there was a market going on, on the street. Zach needed another coffee because he accidentally ordered a weird coffee at Farm Girl. We stopped at a shop and he got a Cuban coffee. We walked around the area, then eventually found ourselves in Hyde Park—London’s most famous park. A lot of the grass was brown because it was summer, which I didn’t mind (I think watering grass just to keep it green is a huge waste of money and resources). We took some photos and wandered around, then bought some sunscreen so we wouldn’t burn.

We decided to try and find a pub that Ingvar could watch his English soccer team play—Manchester United. We had to stop in a few pubs, but then eventually found a place that was going to have it on TV. Ingvar and I shared some fish and chips with mushy peas, and we all had a few beers while we relaxed inside (it was hot outside!) and watched the match. Unfortunately, Manchester United lost the match to Brighton, but it was still nice for Ingvar to watch it live!

After watching the soccer match, we decided to go to an area called SoHo. We walked to the Paddington Station (which is a huge and busy station in London), and took the underground to SoHo. It was a very hip and young area—lots of bars and restaurants and patio tables. The three of us spent a few hours going to two different bars and trying new beers (for Ingvar and I at least), and chatting.

We all got kabob sandwiches for dinner, that was so tasty! We took the underground and bus back to Zach’s for the night—it had been a busy and fun day! We walked a lot and were excited for the next day! :]
