TOP 3 SPOTS TO EAT?
Oh no. That's such a hard question. Um, Supper Hills for vegan pho. I love Vietnamese cuisine. Literally my favourite. That's in Footscray.
In Sydney, Nanako Chicken. Nanako Japanese Restaurant. I don't know where it is. But it's called Nanako. And oh my god, the karaage chicken! So yum! And then there's one other really good spot that I can't think of.
I'm a Google review girlie. So if you type Ruby Sophia into Google, you will see like, I review everything. Like every place I've been. Um, Shinjuku. Um, that's like the Japanese ramen place. Ah, delicious. Bowser chicken. Dude, that's way more than three, but I gave you the good spots.
WHAT'S THE MOST OVERRATED THING IN YOUR CITY?
Collingwood. Like, is it Carlton? I just feel like it's a bit overpriced for like, showy culture. But like, there's culture in like, cultural spots, right?. And for, and not double the price.Yeah, totally. This area is, heh, overrated. I said it! There! I said it!.

Music in the West side.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO ON REPEAT?
Look here, it's mine. Plug it! Um, it's not out yet. It's coming out in hopefully two months. It's called Siempre. But if not, it'll be probably Joy Orbison's album. I, like, Revisited. She dropped it in 2021. But the song that I'm, like, rinsing is called Layer 6 by Joy Orbison.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOU BIRTHDAY?
A holiday, you know what? I can do Europe, but what I can't do is probably South America. Like, tickets are like fucking three grand, so get me a ticket for my birthday to go to South America. I'm trying to go to Brazil, I'm trying to go to Chile. I'm trying to go to Mexico. Um, yeah, I'm trying to do like all of Latin America.
