The other part of this place is actually an open air space where people can practice taiji together. Currently, there are a few mats here, with animations. The animations are still quite simple ones, but I am sure they will be upgraded to better ones once someone comes up with a more complete set of taiji movements.
This is where Hiro Pendragon has his shop and dojo. It is a very beautiful place, with bridges and pavillions made from red colour wood, as well as the main shop itself. Inside the shop, you can find Hiro's free vendor kit, which is a bit unlike my own. His kit is configured using chat, while mine is configured using notecards. So if you are looking for a vendor kit that allows you to configure it using chat messages, you can come here and pick up a copy of Hiro's vendor. Otherwise, it is also a nice place to visit just to feel the tranquility and enjoy the serenity.
One of the few dojos in Second Life, this is Aikibudokan, set in a Japanese-style sim. The dojo is a very simple place, with tatami mats inside a simple Japanese building made of wood and rice paper walls. Outside the dojo are some books related to Japanese martial arts, so do feel free to pick up a copy for yourself.
Welcome to Caledon, a city set in the time of Queen Victoria. I found this place quite by chance, actually. I was looking through the SL Forums looking for a job, when I came across a post by Jules Whittlesea looking for translators. So I volunteered to help him for a small fee. It turns out that he needed help translating some notecards containing information for an art exhibition. So I helped him translate them into Chinese and Japanese, got paid, and also got an invitation to the exhibition held at Caledon. Click here to get to Whittlesea Commons, shown above, set in Caledon.
Exhibitions are held at the Caledon Gallery of Art, shown above. And below is a glimpse of how an ongoing exhibition at the gallery looks like.
Of course, Caledon is not just about art exhibitions. Do feel free to visit Caledon if you are interested in anything Victorian. There is a Victorian feel to the buildings here, and at the teleport point, you can even find free Victorian era clothes for you to blend in with the place.
I have gotten myself another store, this time at C&B - Chaos and Beauty. This is the SLURL. The owner of this place is Nite Zelmanov, and he is renting out places here at L$60 per week for 20 prims, which is a reasonable price, considering that this place attracts reasonably high traffic. You can find shops here selling clothes and gadgets. There is also an art gallery just beside, for those who like to appreciate art pieces.
