It is said that the spring is a season when a hypothalamus in the brain is stimulated by the warm sunshine and the sexual hunger, a part of human instinct is enhanced. The spring is also a season for love for living beings.
Tempura is a romantic island in Second Life for avatars to relax. There are many kinds of activities for us to do such as exercising, dancing, meditating, sleeping, and view seeing, and etc. There are also garden, water fall, and forest in Tempura. However, the most special place in Tempura is Spring Wood, full of sweet scent that attracts people all around world coming for a visit.
When the Tempura was almost completed in May 2008, there were only cherry trees in full blossom at Spring Woods situated on the west side of Tempura. The sprinkling cherry flower is considered as a kind of cool symbol, a flower of a good last moment that has no fatuous regrets or adhesion to the life and goes away without more ado.
However, they thought that it was not enough to put cherry blossom in the spring woods. Furthermore, the spring woods are located on the west side. In the Japanese Buddhism, the west is considered as the West Pure Land that is a sanctuary which is the living place of ancestors. They decided to put lotus bloom that is the flower of Buddhism. Buddha sits on the lotus with a special sitting pose, sitting with crossed legs (which we can do in Spring Woods). Therefore, they assumed the lotus was the most suitable plant for the spring woods.
Let’s visit the spring woods at Tempura! You might be hit by an arrow of love in the sweet scent of the lotus flowers! By the way, there is a secret place with fantastic view and big bird. Don’t miss that great nest!

In a magical forest, a beautiful princess awoke. She was guided into a castle hosted by a cat. Is this a dream, fantasy, or perform? Showing up out of nowhere, there was a mysterious gentleman. Soon, two got a charge out of dancing, carrying a torch for love. Then, the time flying passed. Unconsciously, the princess relaxed herself at the lotus field together with the cat, envisioning the incident in the castle. Were these things in Tempura itself, a dream, fantasy, or perform of something else?

The story is vivid and I can feel your passion in it. But more details about the pics and places are needed and pics without descriptions should be cut.
回覆刪除1. The title and subtitle: You can combine both, for example, "Spring Wood—A Sweet Scent of Cherry Flowers at Tempura"
2. Are such activities as exercising, dancing, meditating, sleeping, candle dinner, view seeing unique in this place? Many other sites in sl also provide these activities. Also your focus in this news is the place. Maybe you can delete them or include some picture descriptions to highlight their uniqueness.
3. You tell the story of the cherry flowers, but readers might wonder how this garden evolves into the current version with a lot of cheery flowers. What is the source of the story?
4.The symbol of cherry flower is familar to many people, but readers would like to know more about why the person(s) built this place and what he or she thinks of the cherry flower.
5. "a huge nest with fantastic view" in the last paragraph is very interesting to me. You may wish to elaborate it.
