A tropical beach, cool Norway and scary jellyfish…
In the words of the famous Dutch football player Johan Cruyff, “Every disadvantage has its advantage. Just last month, a mere 10 minutes after the Fantasy Faire opened, my trusty old PC decided to crash and burn. Although the timing was far from ideal, considering its nearly 12-year lifespan it was actually quite remarkable that…
The Fantasy Faire Film Competition is open to votes!
Edit 1: The date of the Award Ceremony is 6th May and not 7th! Edit 2: For the public voting, the film with most amount of LS in their Kiosk will win, not the number of votes! For the second year the Fantasy Faire Film festival organised a film competition. Rules were pretty straight forward….

I am Second Life
Recently, a tweet by VCSL (Tori Greyson) caught my attention. VCSL was seeking individuals to pose for a portrait for their upcoming exhibition, “I am Second Life.” What piqued my interest even more was that the exhibition would be showcased not only in the virtual world of Second Life but also in the physical world….

Just another night in Second Life: from Paris to Miami
Over the past couple of weeks, my real life has been a bit weird, and sometimes I just need to disconnect and find some peace. That’s where Second Life comes in. Because as soon as you log in, you enter a whole new world where you can travel to different destinations with just a click…
Meanwhile in Lunarville…
Welcome to the year 2052, where Planet Earth is suffering from a dire state. Meanwhile, the ultra-rich have migrated to the moon, specifically to a place called Lunarville. However, only a select 1% of them apparently managed to secure a spot in this exclusive lunar community. Lunarville is a funny and unique destination with a…
3 regions I keep revisiting!
While there are many regions I have yet to explore, and new ones added weekly, I couldn’t resist revisiting three particular regions that left a lasting impression on me in the past weeks. Different in themes, but all three worth a (re) visit and great for taking pics. Buddha Garden, pictured above, is part of…

To bee or not to bee: What the Buzz
I was somewhat surprised to learn, during my recent visit to the “What the Buzz” pollinator garden, that honeybees are the only type of bees that live in hives! Not only is this a beautiful and serene space to explore, but it also serves as an educational hub for all things pollinators. As I strolled…

Limitations are self-imposed
What better way to start the week than visiting an epic, psychedelic art installation? I know: nothing! Limitations are self-imposed is a colourful piece of art byu Regi Yifu, in which you can let yourself go. Bright neon walls that change colour, trees and birds surround you when you start walking. Perfect for a bit…
Welcome to the jungle: Elephant Island
Fun fact about elephants: Elephants have around 150,000 muscle units in their trunk. Their trunks are perhaps the most sensitive organ found in any mammal – Asian elephants have been seen to pick up a peanut, shell it, blow the shell out and eat the nut. Elephants use their trunks to suck up water to…
