Looking for a home, or for more information about the persona name you have chosen? Then visit our Neighborhood Hall to begin your journey through the lands of the Orient.

Here are some things you can participate in, while you get to know the site!

If you visit the Floating Garden Social Center board you'll see several places to meet and greet your new neighbors, including our Kublai Khantina and our Falling Cherry Blossoms Haiku thread -- if you like to write poetry. It's alot of fun, and although I am not very good at it, I enjoy reading what others write! So come share!

Like quizzes? Then check them out in our Festival board's Festival Quizzes thread where if you pass you get some gorgeous take home plaques and awards. Don't miss the fun "What Oriental Are You?" personality quiz by Aria Murasaka!

Last but not least, you can discuss your favorite topics of interest with likeminded individuals in one of our Orient Groups. There are topics ranging from Art of AncientWorlds to the Floating World group focused on the life of the Geisha, to a group about Japanese Anime and Manga, and everything in between! Need help sorting through all of the groups to find just the one you want? Try this script by Phenom Leonidas here: AW Group Search

Need help decorating? If while setting up your Pavilions, you need resources for things like backgrounds, avatars or other goodies check out our Living in the Orient thread. It's got it all! Like the lovely plaque that is at the beginning of this post, which was made by our very own Mistress of Spices, Shanti Ashoka!
