Vive la France!

Written by: ѕнαуиα♪

Recently, I've been to France. I was extrememly excited when I saw that Ameba Pico had made a new French area. I'll tell you all about the French area new to Pico!

Clothes:
Out of everything in Pico (and I do mean thing, not people), I'd have to say the clothing is my favorite. Although it's not nearly as cute as Ameba Pigg's, it's a lot more affordable. They have some new clothes in the two French Areas.

(Pleaseee, Pleasee Pico! Lower the price! I'm begging you!!)



Areas:
The two areas in France are Champs-Élysées and Paris Café. If you stay long enough in Champs-Élysées you'll catch an outdoor fashion show. "The Designer" will walk out in the end with two of his models, and a store will open with some of the clothes you've seen.

Ameba Pico has put a lot of attention into the details of these areas - from the clothing displays in the boutique windows to the little 'Café Bistro Merci' sign in the picture to the right. →

If you attend the café, you MUST take a seat. The waiter will soon come and give you a glass of water. You then, click on it and you'll have a nice refreshing glass of H₂0 (my little science geek side, so impressive, right?).



Food:
If you've been to France you know that their food is magnifique. And as you can see, Pico was focused on impressing. Chocolates, croissants, French coffee, crème brûlée, etc.).

A package of ten is 270 gummies, five for 140 gummies. I have bought everything they have ... I love it! It's so unique! What other game do you play that you can have some French coffee and some crème brûlée as a snack? Sitting inside the Paris Café having a little snack on my break from blogging.



As you can see, you have to get your butt down to France! Who knows the possibilities that can come next!

P.S. You get Gummies and a Star Collection star for viewing the fashion show in Champs-Élysées and getting served water in Paris Café.

Riverside Sozhou

One of my favorite places here in Pico has to be the suburban area in Riverside Sozhou in China.

It is a very romantic place to take your loved one, and the best thing is that its always isolated from big crowds. You can actually have some kind of privacy maybe just by a few visitors that will show up once in a while.

This was the place I have always wanted to visit accompanied by my love...



With a serene environment of rivers and pavilions and breathtaking scenery, you can breath romance in every corner.



An old Chinese proverb says that Suzhou is "paradise on earth".



Kun opera, Pingtan, (a form of storytelling and ballad singing in Suzhou dialect) and playing the Guzheng (a Chinese zither with 25 strings) are traditional cultural arts of Suzhou and part of daily life.



There are many tea houses in Suzhou because drinking tea is an important custom in the area. A tea house is a great place to sip a cup of tea and rest after a day of excursions.



Traditional old houses along the river make this area mysteriously enchanting.



It was time for me and my love to take a stroll down the Sozhue River...



The city of Suzhou is situated along the Grand Canal. This can be a nice way to leave the city on your way to Shanghai.

再见朋友 (goodbye my friend)

ALOHA !!!

Aloha! I finally got to go to Hawaii with my husband, mr. bibo, to the honeymoon we never had. We visited Sunset Beach and spent a wonderful day together :)



Once there we came out with the great idea of creating this game for you, like a "search and find" game. Below are the things you must find in the picture above, and at the end of this post we have the answers for you.
PLEASE DO NOT CHEAT!



These are the 18 things to look for. You might want to head to Sunset Beach to have a better look in finding them. GOOD LUCK ;)



In the meantime let me tell you about our little vacation. Mr. bibo earned his star plus 150 gummies for watching the Fire Dancers dance on the deck. He was so excited that we decided to join them :)



The beautiful Kiana invited us to join her on the Hula Dance.
She swayed her hips so gently I realized I really needed to get some Hula Dance classes for our next visit.



We order some Pinneapple juices from our friend Jodie. When she brought us our juices I couldn't believe it, they were served inside half of a fresh pineapple and decorated with two slices of orange and a flower. They looked sooo pretty :)



We head for the chairs under the umbrellas. The breeze felt refreshing on my face and the sound of the waves made our moment together so romantic.



We heard the Fire Dance music again so we decided to sit closer on the deck. I ended up getting slightly kissed by the sun again. My new tan is not as dark as my last one though :(



After spending all day long together in beautiful Hawaii, it was time to head back home. Though we were tired, this day would be a day to always remember.

BTW; This is mr. bibos room. Isn't it cozy ;)
One of his new fans (A GIRL) left him balloons. He is getting his own fans now...lol!



Here are the answers for you :)

The wrong sign language?

Does the photo above look familiar to all you gamblers out there? It's the facade of the beloved Pico Casino. But ... if you look close enough, you'll see that it bears Pigg's branding! The name of the chat wasn't changed from "Pigg" to "Pico" when it was brought over for our enjoyment.

Some naughty game developer in the Ameba head offices needs their hand slapped for such an oversight.

Of course, most of us spend time inside the casino, not outside of it staring at its walls.

Thanks to the ever-observant nature of Peggy Hill, I'm bringing this little bit of information to you.

How long do you think it will be before The Powers that Be over at Ameba notice this blunder?

For those of you who don't know, Pico is the little brother of Pigg - Ameba's first Kawaii-style avatar social environment. Our version of an alternate Picoverse, you might say. And they're always ahead of us over on that side.

Don't believe me? Read for yourselves ...

Inside Social Games • CyberAgent’s Ameba Pigg Virtual World Comes to Facebook as Ameba Pico: Japanese internet company CyberAgent is bringing its popular virtual world, Ameba Pigg, to the U.S. market, and to Facebook, as Ameba Pico.

Ameba Pigg has gained around 2 million users in the last 11 months, making CyberAgent one of the larger Japanese companies of its ilk. Here’s our look at the new app.

At first glance Ameba Pico does not look like much. It has a very simplistic art style, and a stiff, child-like, and limited set of animations for the avatar. But the variety and activity within this virtual world bring it to life. (Read more ...)

That being said, you should also note that many of the rooms and features that you find in Pico were in Pigg first.

Virtually all of the Travel rooms - including Time Travel destinations - appeared in Pigg first and have been transferred over to Pico. The same goes for clothing and accessories.
