Dream Trip

Virtual Discovery organizer, Vladimir Djannovic

 Every Tuesday, there is a hypergrid adventure with the Virtual Discovery group run by Vladimir Djannovic out of his grid, Virtual Dream. (Yes, there is a VD theme going on, you're not mistaken.) Show up on the Welcome region of VD, and join in the fun. For details about upcoming trips, the best thing is to look on opensimworld, or follow Vlad on Facebook, where he gives the heads up a couple of days before each trip.  This week, for the first time, I was lucky enough to join them for a little while. It's the best fun!  

This week the excursion was to the Zoo on Serenity Grid, the address at the end of the post.

The event is mostly attended by francophones, and there is this magnificent air of joyous conviviality in Voice, giggles that are many miles beyond my capabilities of comprehension. 

About fifteen to twenty attendees, from all over the French speaking archipelago of grids, from French Canadian, to Belgium, and points in between. 

The zoo is really lovely, redolent of every childhood excursion you ever made, with exquisite attention to detail, interesting animals, and plenty of fun along the way.

The insectarium will bug you to bits, the camels and lions will wow you, and the giant Kong statue is a photo opportunity waiting to happen. This lovely build by Erwan Elan can, of course, be enjoyed at any time, but to see it with a crowd of rowdy frenchies is simply the tops.

If you're afraid that you will be a fish out of water, don't let that hold you back from joining the trips, for you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this group. 

No need to be shy, many speak English, and will go out of their way to understand you if your French is less than perfect - or even non existent.

The Virtual Discovery group meets every week, on Tuesdays at 20.45 Paris time, that is 11.45 SLT,  at the Welcome region of Virtual Dream grid.
