sim to hangout. Well worth visiting.

Random Money Fever at Esperanza Gardens

Random Money Fever is the latest trend at venues/shops. Rules are very
simple: You buy a Dollarbie for L$ 1 and participate in the draw. When the
target number is achieved, a random participant is chosen by the board and
gets the prize! The prize is half of the target; so if the target is 100,
you get L$ 50 if you win. You can buy as many as you want and raise your
chance to win. But take it as a game; getting an item for L$ 1 is good
enough and if you are lucky, you get the prize too. You can try Random
Money Fever at Esperanza shops an if you want, you can buy the box for your
own land/shop. Use the vendor near the Random Money Fever board.

Bletaverse Cone at Esperanza Artshop

Placed a Bletaverse Traffic Cone at Esperanza Artshop. Also added lovely
outfits for ladies on the patio. You can see 32 vendors selling high
quality clothing items just near the cone. More will come, including men's
outfits and beautiful swimsuits. While browsing Esperanza's vintage posters
collection, don't forget to check out these items. Oh, and you can also
play Scramble while you're there and get L$ 1 for every correct answer.
Outfits, movie posters, pinups, playing games and earning money - what else
an avatar could want? :-)

Catalhoyuk: Home of the Mother Goddess

Now this sim is very interesting for archaeology and anthropology fans. Catalhoyuk is near Cumra town, in Konya, Turkey. When archaeologist James Mellaart directed an exclusive excavation there in early 1960's, he discovered a pre-neolithic town with all

The site dated to around 7th millennium BCE and according to Mellaart, the inhabitants of Catalhoyuk was among the first known examples of the Mother Goddess cult in Anatolia. Many examples of the famous goddess figurines was found during the excavations,

There is an (almost) exact replica of Mellaart's excavation at this sim. You can walk around the town, enter houses, see the worshipping rooms and examine how our ancestors lived at the dawn of the neolithic age. There is also a museum and a café at Oka

Mayan Mysteries

If you are interested in Mesoamerican civilizations, you'll probably like
this sim. A Mayan pyramid, a replica of a giant Olmec head, tropical
vegetation and a mysterious temple help creating a thrilling atmosphere.
There is a quest here, with some puzzles to solve; which means you need to
examine the clues carefully and walk through it.

I must add, though, the quest is not very easy. But if you feel stuck,
there is a board in front of the pyramid to help you to get extra clues.
Still no progress? It doesn't matter; just try to enjoy the views of the
ancient jungle civilizations.

Parthenon: Meet the Mighty Goddess Athena

This is one of the most interesting corners at Cultural Arts Museum. A very
realistic replica of Parthenon, including the famous Athena statue. You'll
find the atmosphere very impressive, inside the realistically designed,
well built temple of the ancient goddess. When you first step into the
stairs climbing to Parthenon, you'll get a brief info about Parthenon on a
notecard. A second part of the info comes when you enter the temple.

Cultural Arts Museum is an awesome place for those who are into ancient
history, arts and archaeology. A megalithic site like Stonehenge also waits
for you in the depths of this region. Oh, and the music is excellent!

This place sells the best sculpted objects I have ever seen in Second Life.
