Our Hypergrid Adventurers Club visited a beautiful region called China Town in Francogrid this past Sunday. Follow in our footsteps and check it out for yourself!
China Town is under construction and being built by Vinc Sonic, but he’s already done a fantastic job of creating a very atmospheric cityspace with lots of detail.
Here are some photos of our journey.
What’s cooler than robots?
Giant robots, of course.
For today’s meeting, we visited FrancoGrid to explore a junkyard complete with a derelict giant robot, a toxic lake, and a submarine.
The folks on FrancoGrid are hosting another live opera.
It’s happening Thursday, January 6 @ 8pm French Time (11am SLT/2pm Eastern). Our Hypergrid Adventurers Club attended the previous opera, which was simply brilliant.
I’ll be leaving from the region Pathlandia on jokaydiaGRID at 7:30pm French Time (I want to arrive early) if folks would like a hypergrid guide to the performance. We can make the jumps from jokaydiaGRID to FrancoGrid together.
@Hugobiwan has created a poll to see how many folks will be attending the opera in Second Life versus Opensim. If you plan on attending the opera, please fill out this poll. That will help them a lot in their organizing and server setup. Thanks!
À Bientôt!

UPDATE Jan 8, 2011: Some nice coverage of the opera in the French press. See these articles on France24 and leParisien, and video coverage by a French TV station.
This past Sunday we made two excursions to a very special Christmas Festival on FrancoGrid.
The creative force behind the festival was Nani Ferguson, who also created the amazing Pandora region we visited in a previous tour.
This festival features a beautiful Christmas Village, free winter clothes, skiiing, ice skating, and a challenging Christmas Hunt full of freebies.
The festival will be open until Jan 19th, so be sure to check it out before it closes!
There are 3 full regions to explore (Winter, Pole Nord, and Noel), including a hidden underground chocolate maze full of surprises.

In today’s two meetings we explored the region Quebec on FrancoGrid.

In today’s meeting we visited FrancoGrid and checked out a very cool science fiction themed region named Hybride.
Hybride was stunning. It’s impressive to see how one can create a consistent visual theme across an entire region. We met some of locals of FrancoGrid, stopped by a great freebie store, and ended with an impromptu dance party. Read on for a full transcript and many photos.
In today’s 2 meetings we spoke French with Babbler, met up with folks from FrancoGrid attending a Virtual Worlds Camp on ReactionGrid, revisited an accurate reconstruction of the Eiffel Tower based on real life architectural plans, and found many freebies at the “Ile aux Freebies.”
