Update: Happy New Years Gift from Petrova!

---

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by and I hope y'all have a great New Years Day! Only five more hours until New Years here in Chihiro! To welcome the new year, I will be saying good bye to the old Chihiro, and by that I mean deleting the old region...so it can finally rest in peace I have a couple of things for you guys. First gift a mosaic of the Chihiro Loop.

Here's something fresh and new: The Grapotsch Palace is a public plaza located in central Downtown Chihiro. (And yes, the groundbreaking for the downtown will begin in a couple of days, so expect an update with the sprawling downtown!) It was where King Matthias was officially crowned and this plaza will be used for numerous events.

And finally, the 2009 Chihiro Simlympic Bid logo has been revealed. Now its up to you guys to choose which one will be used for the bid in 2009!

Ok, just one delegate for the Miss SimUniverse? Imma have to randomly pick delegates if nobody pics one...the deadline is Friday!

Suggestions, questions, critiques are welcome!! Happy New Years!

Awesome pix! Looking good and I love the logo.

BTW, you may want your pix to go vertical instead of horizontal - they are stretching the page.

Go Chihiro!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Brad: A hint: press <enter> between mosaic images, that way they won't go sideways.

Brian: Looks good!

Brad: I like logo 2 better, it looks cleaner.

Brian: Can't wait for more!

Brad: Yín Soma Fleza!

Happy New Year!

[SounderBruce 173]

OOh... I love animated logos. Too bad I can't get Microsoft Animator.

P.S. You can name the new district the "Wikipedia" district.

EDIT: I like logo 1 the best.

Destination: Downtown Chihiro Developments

---

Thanks for coming back again, hope you like this next update. Well, I'm the type of guy that like change, so with the new year comes a new look to this CJ. So here is Destination: Petrova(again lol). Every update, I will take you to different places and cities, cuz I'm sure y'all are tired of Chihiro. I will also try to finish up showing the CIV by the end of January. There is also a new look to the pictures. Well, here's the first update of 2009!

The Downtown will have a totally new layout from the old one as well as this will be more dense, less Maxis, more custom and it will be divided into districts. The Business District (south of the English Strait) will be full of foreign companies and domestic companies. It will be also home to many embassies. So please tell me if you would like an embassy and also please pick a building from the STEX. Thanks.

Here is the first district in the downtown.

Saris are boats that people use everyday to get around the city.

Do y'all remember the RNC (Royal News Company)? Well ever wonder where its located, here it is:

Let's now go south to the Business District and to the Sri Lanka Resort. It will give the people time to relax after a day's hard work in an office cubicle.

Petrovan Culture 101: Petrovan Cuisine

---

There's also a change in the format of the updates. Every update there will be a segment about the culture of Petrova. So here we go.

Petrovan food is very similar to Russian cuisine. But there are also some heavily influences from the Greeks and Italians as well as Middle Eastern cuisine. Petrovan cuisine usually consists of zesty flavors with plenty of vegetables. Chicken and rice is the main food in Petrova. Petrovars also love to eat out in fast food restaurants such as McDonald's, Wendy's and other American fast food places. Here are some typical Petrovan food. Hope I dont make you hungry

Suggestions, questions, critiques are welcome!!

[Tomasneto 20]

Wow, Ambassador!!! Great update!! Awesome!!!

[jimbo_jj 1]

As a fan of massive downtowns, I can't wait to see it completed, and as a fan of good food in the morning when I haven't eaten yet, nice pics!

[pipishere 3]

Ohhh i adore the New look updates! I would love an Embassy in Petrova...i will get searching ASAP

[SounderBruce 173]

Great update! Nice pictures especially that delicious food! Also, I see you've changed the title to "Destination: Petrova" like on SimSports.

I really like how the Wikipedia District is coming along!

EDIT: This is my 200th post!

[Twenty20 28]

Impressive work with the roads, great city and nice sun effects, excellent update.

[SirUnger 13]

Awesome update! Love the pics and city planning especially the seaside!

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Hiya, great update. As for answering your question, the first one looks nice. The flickering lights and the modern looking text is very up-to-date looking. Good show!

[suplado! 23]
