Red-crowned Cranes: As Rose's Watsu continues, the virtual sun begins to peek in under the tee pee

Harbin ethnography:

... with Rose Rising, things seem more harmonious.

As Rose's Watsu continues, the virtual setting sun begins to peek in through the teepee's door which is over the virtual Harbin Domes' upper pool, just as two other avatars come into the upper pool, for a scheduled Watsu class, as part of the Watsu School at the Harbin Domes. So Rose and I stop the Watsu. One of these new avatars comes from Japan both in Second Life, in real life as non-Second Life is called by avatars, and she is actually in Japan, as her avatar enters the pool; she has also visited actual Harbin. The other avatar is an instructor who lives mostly in Santa Cruz, but returns to Harbin to teach week-long, virtual, Watsu workshops. She's at actual Harbin for this workshop to teach Watsu, both virtually and actually. Not knowing about this class, we open the map of virtual Harbin by clicking on the “Mini-Map” button in the tool bar at the bottom, and look for which pools at Harbin have no avatars. Just 20 meters away, there are some green dots in the lower pool at the Harbin Domes,' indicating avatars, and there are also some in the warm pool and heart-shaped pools in the Pools' Area at Mainside across the valley. There aren't, however, any green dots representing avatars in the pools outside of the Harbin Conference Center 300 meters to the east (figure 1.10), and I've read on the actual and virtual Harbin Schedules that there's an Unconditional Dance tonight, so Rose and I fly off toward the Conference Center.
