It was a G'day for Australian Culture

A glimpse into Australian culture from Aussie Rules football to Dingos was brought to a large group of students by Language Lab by Xilin Yifu on June 27, 2008. Students were given examples of Australian language that is different from other native English language such as British or American.
Information on Australian animals and their habitat was brought in on the platypus, emus, kangaroos, koalas, and a variety of other animals was met with great interest from the student. Student asked many questions and were very interactive in the discussion.
It was extremely informative with a variety of information. The island continent's government was discusses as well as the fact that Aussie men don't kill spiders.
The event was attended by students from Finland, UK, China, France, UAE, USA and a variety of other countries. Students asked many questions of Xilin Yifu and all attendees were actively involved in conversation.

Fishing Anyone?

In the early morning hours of English City, a group of dedicated fisherpeople met and caught many fish. Some caught flounder, some clownfish and a few tires were pulled out of the ocean outside, Millie's Cafe. Although Donatella Benoir refused to bait her hook, she pulled in a variety of fish waiting on the grill. Although she was heard saying that she was putting them in an aquarium and not eating them.
Ling Markstein pulled in a variety of fish, but spent a lot of the time on the boat, sunbathing. Navine Bosatsu and Lane Jarman, enjoyed the seagulls and the nice waves.

Coffee Trivia by Millie Eames

Coffee Trivia: Turkish bridegrooms were once required to make a promise during their wedding ceremonies to always provide their new wives with coffee. If they failed to do so, it was grounds for divorce!

City News Today

Today in English City there has been a new addition. Navine Bosatsu's dog named Bob was very busy during Navine's trip to Spain. Apparently he was being watched by the City's kennel. But possibly slipped out to see Donatella Benoir, who is known for having Bob regularly outside Periwinkles. It may be because she slips him Millie's take out.
Upon an outing with Donatella and Millie Eames, they came across some puppies, who look very similar to Navine's Bob.
Donatella took one of the liter and named him Bob, Jr. Bob Jr, is located at the photo on the right, upon Donatella's shoulder. English0 City welcomes it's newest edition, and Bob Jr can be seen around English City.

Navine continued to ski dive with students this afternoon. Even English Cities own actress Pebbles Kronfield felt a little adventurous and joined into the fun. The photos at the left show the students and Pebbles having a great time skydiving in the afternoon. In fact the wind was so wild, that Navine, who is living her life to the fullest, even landed her parachute in front of Millie's cafe!!! Look up, it's a bird, it's a plane, it was Navine!!! Students at the cafe, were thrilled to see her. But students need to stop by and see Lane Jarman for instructions on camera use, because no one got a picture.

Skydiving with Navine

Students from SL had a great time with Navine Bosatsu in the Park, this morning in English City. As Navine says, "it was delicious fun!!!!" Students came from all over SL to enjoy a drop from 4,000m.
Free parachutes were given out by Donatella Benoir, courtesy of Periwinkles. Donatella also gave them a smoke attachment, that was an added bit of fun.
Navine and Donatella had students going high and higher each time, as the students wanted to go again and again.
There will be another skydiving lesson later on this morning at 10am. Young and old can enjoy the feeling of the SL wind beneath their avatar, with this sport of SL.
