Can anyone recommend any wagashi making classes they've been to? How many wagashi types did you make? I can fit it into my itinerary either in Tokyo, Osaka/Kyoto, or Fukuoka.

TIA, I had a look at old threads and a lot of links are outdated.

Hi everyone,

The bride really enjoys fine dining and good food, any recommendations within the CBD or around Potts Point? Looking to spend in the $70-$90pp range on food itself not including drinks where we can dress up, but not so fancy that we might think twice about laughing out loud. Think places where mains might be $35-45ish like Willo in Parramatta.

Thanks in advance!

As title, do these two actually have good anti aging ingredients? Or is there a cheaper alternative?

Hi everyone, I've been doing some research as I want to obtain a lab-grown hearts and arrows cut, what are some things I should be aware of in order not to be duped about the quality of the cut, and its authenticity? I've read that Brian Gavin and Whiteflash are reputable places to buy from, has anyone had any experience with those two companies? Would you recommend them or is there anywhere I can get a better diamond or deal? Thanks!

Hi everyone!! I've been looking to get a small white/cream handbag for ages now, Kate Spade has been a brand I've purchased from a lot in the past but they had a string of misses, and this is the first season in a while where I've really liked their designs! The Shell is super cute and unique, I just worry it might feel a little childish carrying it around, but it does still feel chic with the pearlised leather and pearl strap. Also a little worried about fitting my phone into the smaller opening, but happy it has a back pocket.

On the other hand, I've been eyeing a Strathberry because everyone has been raving about the leather quality! The Box Crescent doesn't have the metal strap threade

Hi all, for the life of me, I can't seem to find some decent restaurants that my family would enjoy that don't require bookings these days and that we haven't tried before. Can someone give some recommendations for mid-range restaurants that are walk-in? We enjoyed all the Darling Square restaurants which are all walk-ins, e.g. Dopa, Lilong, Auvers, etc.

Hi everyone, so the lockdown has been going on for 8 weeks now. During this time, I have unfortunately lost hours of work, so I'm currently only working 1-2 days a week. I try to see this as a positive thing for my life outside of work though - since the lockdown, I have learnt some cooking skills from my mum, exercised daily, had time to explore some new ideas watching video essays, reading books, and managed to do a nice clean up of the house.

I am just wondering whether there is anything else that you all have been doing to make the most of your time, whether that just be a few extra hours you would've normally spent going out on the weekend, or multiple days like in my situation.

Thank

Hi everyone, I went on a date with a guy and he said he didn't feel chemistry with me, but would be interested in chatting as friends since we had such a great conversation about our hobbies.

That's fair enough, I've been in situations like that myself, and for me, those men who I saw only as friend material were nice people but either:

• not proactive enough
• lacking ambition or were messy career-wise, finance-wise or other self-care aspects of life
• socially awkward
• expressed no actual interest in me as a person (e.g. just talked about themselves/hobbies, didn't show me they were interested - I'm not fishing for compliments but there should be a genuine comment at least once during

Hi, I have gotten this rude question a few times in different ways, but there are several ways that it plays out. If I joke that I don't have any weaknesses, or a lady doesn't tell, they usually persist. If I answer a light weakness like being lazy or being impatient, but describe a way that I'm working on it, they usually insist that there must be something worse than that. I'm not going to be stupid and answer anything else.

A few friends suggested that I just joke "are we doing a job interview?", Or just answer that I don't feel comfortable answering, but just wondering whether there is anything better.

Thank you, ladies

Hi everyone! It's my first time travelling with a friend, and after having two trips to Japan which did the Tokyo-Kyoto-Nara-Osaka/Hiroshima route, I've decided on doing a full week in the Tokyo area. My friend has never been before, so I just want to get some ideas on balancing my itinerary. I tried picking places that will be still fun, but maybe not a major attraction (as I have been to many already).

I would greatly appreciate the answers to any of the questions I have marked with *** below, thank you!!!

Day 1 Monday 6th April (Shibuya/Shinjuku Area + Café Hopping)

• 9am Shinjuku Gyoen Cherry Blossoms - *** is this place too crowded for nice photos? We're both photography fans
