photoblog week 3 - wendy

I wonder what Chinese places look like in SL, so I type in "chinese" to search for.Then I teleport myself to a land called "The Great Wall". After arriving, I find that there is no great wall and it looks like I was in the south of China: the paddy field, farm cattle and cottage rooms. 

The sunset is very beautiful, especially seeing the dynamic diagram. I stay here for a moment and enjoy the peace the scene gives to me.

The I move on to a house built on the water, but because of the narrow path, I fail to go into it but just look around in the water... The house's structure and decoration are not Chinese style, which makes me suspicious.

I see a picture on the pillar when going through a bridge, there are two samurai in it, which makes me pretty sure that I have come into a Japanese world.

Cross the bridge, I move to a bigger place. There are several seats, drums and deadmen, so I guess this is a traditional drill ground. However, it makes me a little confused that I cannot see any weapon.

After walking out the gate and seeing the posters, I realize I'm wrong. This place really has a long history, but not for fight. People get together in old days to enjoy the kabuki here.

Then I find another traditional Japanese thing. I see it many times in Japanese cartoons. This is a watering place, people use the spindly tool to drink. I wonder why it appears, but after a while I know the answer.

The reason is I come to a traditional Japanese indoor hot spring! From the pictures, you can see kimono, drapes, clogs, futon and Wooden Casks. I jump into the water and try to image how comfortable if I really in such a place: sit in the pool, drink the saki, talk with my friend at times and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

At last, I arrive at a large courtyard. I guess this must be a rich family in ancient. Once inside, there is an entire column of bungalows. After checking, I'm sure it's the stable, although there is only one horse there... The main building's decoration is very exquisite. The wall painting describes the scenes of ancient wars and only the Chinese calligraphy will cost thousands of dollars, let alone the golden fan and bonsai. The katana (samurai sword) in another room makes me think of the film "The last samurai". I appreciate their spirit for persistence and bravery.
