Dog Restaurants, Cat Coffee Bars, And Restaurants Of Interest

Having seen the list of top restaurants, I just decided there is a lot more living to do!
When I visited Shinjuku in Japan, cat coffee bars didn’t exist, but both cat and dog restaurants/cat coffee bars look like fun.
I’m sure my doggo would have loved a restaurant, catering especially for him instead of being banished under a table.
He would have behaved beautifully but would not have worn a tux. He refused dog coats.

When I visit my Tuesday friend, her lovely Persian gray cat with amber eyes makes a bee line for me and the tuna in my bag…complete adoration and no place for her owner.
Petting animals and their company is very often therapeutic for humans.

As for an underwater restaurant, or one on a small island would suit me fine with a swim in a clear blue sea after dinner. Sea life swimming around always fascinates.

McDonald’s is absolutely not my thing. Ugh, disgusting.
When I lived in Shinjuku, Tokyo, we received a menu everyday and ordered delicious food. Many houses in Tokyo don’t have proper kitchens. I had packets of lemon meringue pie from UK I made in the tiniest oven I had ever seen for the Japanese family. Sweets and cakes were rarely on the menu, and their cakes tasted of air, not like our lovely puds and sweets.
One of the best places I ate in was on a beach in Italy. The food was divine and cheap, the sun, the blue sea, white sand and sky and romance was in Spinarollo, Italy. The music, the Godfather. Also nightclubs by the sea in Istanbul, can’t beat the food and views.

Most Unusual Restaurants In The World

Have you been to any unusual restaurants or your pets?
Would you like to try unusual food? Or unusual food venues?
What have your experiences been?

Lately, restaurants here are now expensive, touristy and not so good. The town I live in has refugees from Afghanistan, Korean immigrants, you name a far-flung place, and we probably have a new restaurant. Our town is becoming known for unusual ethnic food. So far, I continue cooking my own food. But I really should check them out and try.

A Sky Full Of Stars

We all love the sky at night, gazing into the starlit sky. We have a fascination for the moon and planets. They appear beautiful from afar, but is this reality for humans?

Could alien life be a danger to us?

More recently, our dreams to go into space and to travel the stars may well be within our grasp, but would you like to take the risks? Would you volunteer to go?

With the way life is going on our planet, would it really be a better option?

We live on our beautiful blue planet, but there is no peace. Perhaps we should tackle our lives here.

A Journey to the Most Habitable Planets Better Than Earth!

Recently, ladies took a short trip into Space. Orlando Bloom was amazed when Katy Perry informed him of her recent impending and actual space trip.

But would you really go into space? Two brave astronauts were stranded there, and the physical pressures aged them considerably, and perhaps the ordeal of being left there.

I imagine it wasn’t that exciting being stranded. What an ordeal!

We all romanticise space travel. There are many series that are interesting to watch, that we watched as kids and adults, imagining the excitement.

You may like to say which series you enjoyed.
At the beginning of Dr Who, I loved it, but as it ‘progressed’, my interest waned, apart from the fascinating Tardis. Blake’s Seven was addictive. Star Trek became a cult, and 2001 for music and movies.

David Bowie produced some good music, as did many others. All was romanticised or exciting for our dreams, aspirations and enthusiasm.

My wish on my great life’s journey is to view the stars and planets on my way, inspired by a lady I met who prayed for every star and planet. I spend more time praying/chanting for friends, enlightenment, and problems here on Earth, and trying to change karma.

So the subject is stars, planets, moons, Earth, adventure and the risks.
Post music, movies, memes, gifs and your muses on the subject or chat with your friends here.
Most of all, enjoy.
Remember, animals and spiders trod the path into space before you.

Easter And Beyond, Happy Easter Everyone!

How do you celebrate and what do you have for Easter lunch?

Do you go to parades or Festas?
We have Festas which are really crowded with rowdy celebrations. Shop windows are boarded up. We have church parades with Saints statues being carried round the streets.
There is an aftermath of beer cans, bottles, half-eaten pizzas and rubbish-strewn streets.
First, we have the church coming to bless our houses, then church parades with bands of oompah music. There are always stalls selling tat and street food. We have many people dressed in red or blue depending on their saint. They also throw paint at each other that is red or blue. I don’t wear red or blue on these occasions and would hate to be covered in paint, as many are. Even the policemen are covered in paint and sometimes lipstick from kisses; they seem to enjoy it.
The most bizarre event is that some people do penance to atone for their sins. They have hats a bit like the Klu Klux clan, drag chains in bare feet, and sometimes whip themselves. They pay the church to take part in the parade. The priest calls to bless the house, have a glass of whisky, and collect money. He doesn’t call at my house. He is very often as drunk as a skunk. I avoid the parades, and if I go out, I take the back streets.
Maybe I will go to the seaside for the day. I really don’t enjoy rowdy, drunk crowds.

I had an idea to paint five wooden Easter eggs to look like various fruits.

Do you hide Easter eggs, real eggs or chocolate?

Post music that you like, Easter memes or gifs, chat with friends, and most of all, enjoy! 
We try to avoid any politics, but you may like to remember the reason for Easter, rather than the type of celebrations that we have here.
Enjoy,

Our Theme Is…Summertime

This is a funny year…
Winter seems endless.
My thoughts are turning to summer, warm sun, and blue seas.

And yet…
We haven’t had Easter yet.
The weather is still chilly. Many of you have snow again.
I’m longing for the freedom of summer clothes. Tourists here are sporting T-shirts, shorts and summer dresses. However there are strong winds and showers, so I’m never without a raincoat, and still in warm clothes.

As long as we don’t hit 46 Centigrade for summer again, I won’t complain!
