haha yeah we do have alot of shops! Last I heard Gateways shopping centre near my place is supposed to become the biggest in WA.
I definitely prefer it to Manning, sucks being so far from the city tho, catching a taxi is a nightmare!
So which Uni do you go to North of the river?
Oh and you've been gone a whole year?! Cause I dunno if you heard but.....I hear they're remaking FF VII :P
