Time for another theme room :D
This one stemmed from a trip to Epcot back in July, those of you who are familiar with Epcot will know that within the World Showcase there is a Japan section which we had a good look around while we were there. Normally we don't get time to do as much of the Showcase as we want but we managed to time it well. ;) Back then I didn't know a room was going to come out of it until Habbo released the Japanese range of furni and ideas started to develop.
This is by far my most expensive room to build out of my collection and I don't intend to ever design anything that will cost me this much in the future. :P
*Image removed until further notice*
Also this room decided to present me with quite a few problems on the way to its opening. The first of which was the fact that you cant put anything on bamboos, you can walk through them and so can pets but you cant put any furni on them, so I had to find a way around that. Then there was the problem of hiding the Jade Dragon somewhere in the bamboo without leaving a large gap. Thirdly, as a last minute decision I put in a trax machine with the intention of using the Monkey Paradise track to add a few jungle sounds and had quite a bit of trouble hiding the machine. That last decision also lead to me and Loz finding out that, since the new update, chair stacking is no longer possible in the way shown on the stacking videos on Habbox in both small and large rooms. :(
Finally, I would like to point out that little bit of extra effort I put into this room. :P Took me a while last night to pick the perfect Japanese word for the room title, Kumori was the final word I chose which means 'shadow'. I did a similar thing with the crocodiles in the room. Katsuro is a masculine name and is an alternative spelling to Katsurou meaning 'victory' (katsu) and 'son' (rou). Hanako is a feminine name meaning 'flower' (hana) and 'child' (ko).
Thoughts? Comments? Improvements? All welcomed :D
