A Retreat Away From the Turmoil of the World in SL


A Retreat Away From the Turmoil of the World in SL
Reported by Sharon Yu




By accident, I was reported to a scenic spot in Florida. It was a large and tranquil region that I’ve never found in cities. Except for high buildings, performing stages, office rooms or any other authority places, this is the retreat closet to the nature. Wild animals are available anywhere. There are beautiful beach and woods on the island. I found that a huge book, beginning with “Once upon a time,” is placed in the grass. It seems that I burst into the world of fairy tales.


Entering a classroom, I saw a rabbit teacher teaching math. Several rabbit students sit there dozing off or concentrating on lessons. Also, some chairs and decorations are made up with large carrots, which is impossible to happen in real world. Instead of indoors activity, I also discovered a secret pavilion where I had a meditation. Along the beach, I lied on a deck chair to enjoy its pure sea water and wonderful sunshine.





I took an adventure in the forest. Black bear was not that friendly to me. A crocodile and a leopard stayed alert when I approached them. These wild animals must be shocked by me, the unexpected visitor. However, they weren’t assaultive at all. The most interesting thing was that an outdoor classroom was located right in the woods. Mushroom chairs were so cute that I even wanted to send my future children there if possible.

This is really a retreat that makes people relax. Making friends with wild animals and staying away from hustle and bustle are the best therapy for any sicknesses. Go and enjoy it!

    It sounds great, but I am curious about your use of "I". Of course, your report is your personal experience, yet you could use a point of view more objective instead of saying "I". For example, when you say "Mushroom chairs were so cute that I even wanted to send my future children there if possible", it seems to me that it is like an ad and personal recommendation, not a news. Maybe, you can think about it ^^ ~
