Cool Location: Bamboo Garden
I think the SS Galaxy is quickly becoming my favorite place, so I sent Viv over there to photograph it for me. Of course, she wanted the credit for the incredible find of the Bamboo Garden so she put herself in every picture. Cheeky photographer.
First, a quick recap. The SS Galaxy is a three-sim long cruise ship that sports amazing builds and excellent textures. As a builder, I have a long way to go until I match the quality of this build. On top of that, the ship sports plenty of content to keep you enthralled. And if that isn't enough, just pick up a copy of their on-board events (new list every month). If you click the link above, you will find yourself rezzing on the forward part of the ship, however the main entrance is in the back.
A few feet up from the forward entrance is the Bamboo Garden Japanese Restaurant. In fact, it is so close that you can see the maneki neko from your rez point.
(See what I mean about amazing texturing?)
If you use the Bamboo Garden SLURL, you actually won't rez in the ship's corridor, but will start out already inside the amazingly peaceful Japanese build.
I love the little touches such as the zori, the garden lantern, and the woodblock print. Also, in this picture, you can see the sushi bar. If you go closer you will be able to see the amazing texturing and prim work that went in to creating a realistic looking sushi bar. So realistic that I requested sushi for dinner. Yum!
At the sushi bar, you can buy sushi from the vendor to the back of the bar. "Why would I buy sushi?" you ask. The answer is that these sushi pieces are unique, superbly built, and offer some variety from the traditional free textured cylinder.
There is also a tea-room, complete with tea set in the corner. It can seat seven. Though it is not nearly as texture-efficient as my japanese tea scene.
And there is a sushi-room filled with incredibly delectable delights. Both the sushi boat and the sushi platter give out free pieces of wearable sushi (you get to choose what you want to eat). Wearing the sushi starts you in an eating animation. To drink there is a choice of hot green tea or sake. And don't forget the amazing finishing touch of soy sauce.
And finally, if you are looking for a backdrop for peaceful and beautiful photography (hint: kimono makers ... this is useful to you) there are the areas in between the rooms which are filled with lush and peaceful greenery. The bamboo is Hart bamboo, and I'm sure that she'd approve of how her bamboo has been landscaped. :)
And let us not forget my favorite fish species: koi. In my opinion, every Japanese build should have at least one, if not more, koi and this build has their fair share.
