TEMPURA... Written by Valkiria Fox


I can say that Tempura is an ambiguous place. I don't know if you have the same feeling as I do, 
but I think it is the place where I felt the happiest and the saddest in my Second Life. 
I don't know if that is kind of a blessing or even malediction of this beautiful Sim. 
There, I knew the friends that I love the most and the people that...how can I say... 
unlove the most. Also passed my best and worst moments there. 
The times I felt accompanied and nestled, and the ones where I felt the most lonely ever.
But you can feel that once you put your feet there and turn on the music. 
The first song has an epic feeling. 



But from the second til the end, 
they are very touching ones, joyful in a way, but also melancholic. 
Those so beautiful songs awake me with contradictory feelings.  
I personally think that Tempura was made to be as cool as a Lotus flower on a lake, 
but also cheerful as the Sakura trees exploding in pink flowers, 
announcing the beginning of Spring in Japan. 
The truth is that Tempura provokes intense and deep feelings in whoever has the luck to visit it. 
And we all go, even though the lagg (that some attribute to the big bird that lives there) 
we all want to feel all that intensity. Those hot colors and the sunset are so pleasant! 
Just like that huge garden of flowers where you can lay down and forget life. 
And you can also relax and have a nice chat at Tai Chi or meditation, as well as to dance in the
glamorous ballroom. But even though it is all, I still think that what keeps bringing me back
to Tempura is what that marvelous place does to my heart.
