【Revised】When Wedding Rings a Bell, This Time is In Second Life!

Experience the Tropical Wedding in Summer Isle!
“Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony…” When people are listening to this speech, wedding rings a bell.

Wedding is one of the most significant events in one’s life. If you desire to hold a wedding in tropical area but you cannot make it in real life, go experience tropical wedding in Summer Isle in Second Life!

Embraced by the magnificent waterfalls and towering coconut palms swaying gently in the wind, carpeted with emerald grass embellished by colorful flowers, you are totally immersed in the wedding of tropical atmosphere.

If you have no idea what to wear for the wedding, explore the shops in Summer Isle. There are plenty of delicate wedding dresses, jewelry, and shoes there to choose from.

You can arrange your wedding not only by yourself but also by the wedding planners in Summer Isle. The experienced wedding planner will provide private consultation and customize your dream wedding to fulfill your every need.




After everything is arranged, the wedding is about to be held. The bride and the groom will walk through aisle embellished petals of blessing and happiness. As the moment you say “I do”, with the witness of the minister, friends, and family, you become husband and wife.

I interviewed a bride, Marcy, in Second Life while she was busy setting up the tropical wedding in Summer Isle. She told me that “it will be fun when you do (get married in Second Life).” So if you have chance, get married and hold a tropical wedding here. The most wonderful part is only through experiencing on your own!

【Revise】If you want to try different Easter this year, explore Eggstactly Island in Second Life!

You will get a brand-new experience in bunnies and eggs!

Easter is one of the biggest events in the real life and so is in Second Life. If you get tired of the usual Easter, go to Eggstactly Island in second life and you will experience the most unusual Easter ever here.

When you teleport to the island, you will see this welcome board. Right below is a rabbit hole. Pretend yourself as a bunny and have a look down there!

The moment you land yourself, you will find that it is an island full of eggs, bunnies and wonders. As if you were shrunk, bunnies and eggs are much huger than you. Standing beside these bunnies, don’t think them just freeze there. They are actually alive, blinking their bright eyes at you. The island is like a wonderland of fairy tales. You can take a seat on the mushroom chair, enjoying the beautiful views around.


If you explore further, you will bump into the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, rushing himself to work. You can have chance to role-play Alice, trying to figure out what is going on with Mr. Rabbit.



There are lots of activities related to Easter in Eggstactly Island. As usual in Easter, open your eyes to look for eggs. The unusual part, however, is if you click on the box below the egg, you can do the land survey and you will have chance to win a free island yourself!



Looking for Easter eggs may not fulfill your desire. Hence, the egg decorating contest is held to provide an opportunity for you to create your own Easter egg. Each contestant displays his/her delicate egg, trying to compete the beauty with each other. It is really enjoyment by merely appreciating their Egg creation.


When it is time to go back to the rabbit hole away from Eggstactly Island, I’m sure you have already experienced the most extraordinary Easter here!

Eggs in Eggstactly Island have another purpose. They can be used to play the music! This innovative instrument, called Egg Tune, is like the keyboard of the piano. You can be the performer yourself by clicking the egg tune. Or you also can choose to be an audience by picking up the song you would like to listen and it will play automatically.

【Revise】Taiwan's Pride: Taipei 101

When you stand in front of Taipei 101 and look up, you will understand why it is Taiwan's pride!

<www.ammpe.tw/TC/Page_Show.asp?Page_ID=302 >


Do you know where the world’s tallest building is? Flapping through the tellurion, if you stop directly in the location of Taiwan, then you’ve got it right. Yes, the world’s tallest building is located in the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei, which is called Taipei 101. It is constructed since 1999 and is completed in 2004. The height of Taipei101 is 1,670.60 ft. The building is so tall that it has received lots of awards such as the Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2004. It also has been hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and Seven Wonders of Engineering.


<http://www.blog.yam.com/ezgod/category/91851 >


Maybe you may wonder why it is called “Taipei 101.” Why is the number “101”? It might not be hard to guess because of the height of 101 floors. But there are more meanings behind this number! The number also reflects its location in Taipei’s international business district, 101 mailing code. To go further, it also symbolizes high ideals by going one better on 100, which is a Chinese traditional number of perfection.

Taipei 101 rises straight up in this earthquakes-frequent country and has no fear to face the strong wind of typhoons. It is because Taipei 101 is designed to withstand these natural calamities. The stability of the design became evident when a 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan on March 31, 2002.

There are lots of activities held in Taipei 101. On New Year’s Eve, fireworks will be launched from Taipei 101. It lightens up the whole Taipei and brings the new hope for the upcoming year. Here is the clip of the fireworks in 2009:



Although another competitor, Buri Dubai in Dubai, will overtake the title of the world’s tallest building in September 2009, Taipei 101 is still Taiwan’s pride.

【Revise】Stinky Tofu is the special food you cannot miss in Taiwan

Come and give it a try. You will have a great impression on the sense of taste and the smell!

When people are asked what representative Taiwanese food is, stinky tofu often rings a bell. Stinky tofu is the unofficial national snack food of Taiwan. It is really popular. You can find it everywhere at the roadside stands and at the night market.


Why is stinky tofu so well-known? It is notable because of its “stink”. Stinky tofu is a form of fermented tofu, which is usually marinated in fermented vegetables, herbs or dried fish. Stinky tofu is cooked in various culinary skills. There are fried stinky tofu, stinky tofu boiled soup, basic plain stinky tofu, stinky tofu with pickled veggies and etc. You can choose your favorite and have a taste!



Stinky tofu has an extremely opposite appreciation. Some people stay away from it because of its awful smell. For them, the odor of stinky tofu smells like rotten food so that they are afraid to give it a try. However, some people are addicted to it because it tastes really delicious. Don’t be scared by its name and smell! It tastes much better than it sounds and smells. Even some foreigners love it. The host Andrew Zimmern in the TV series Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern tasted stinky tofu and commented that “it reminds me a really great cheese…it’s delicious.”
