Some posters are just so longwinded and going on about both sides, that it is confusing which side they are actually on. -

Lunch breaking news: Hunny popped up as a residential region! Oh wait, I just landed facing the wrong direction. Still nothing to be seen. -
Is there anything special about south Heterocera vs the rest of the continent?
Ten Southern Heterocera Facts!: Most of the southern regions of Heterocera are named after species of moths. In fact, Heterocera's name is derived from moths too. The continent is sometimes nicknamed "The Moth Continent". The main Infohub in Heterocera is at the Moth Temple in Iris region. The Robin Loop. It's a circular high speed road which many of the Japanese car businesses in the southern area of Heterocera use to test drive and perfect their cars and other vehicles. The Robin Loop was named in honour of Robin Linden (Robin Harper), who was employed at Linden Lab between 2002 and 2009 in a senior role. Heterocera has a large population of Japanese residents. It was intended that Satori (because of it's name) would be the "Japanese Continent", but that never really went that way. The Heterocera Great Wall is a gigantic wall that has one end in the northern side of the Robin Loop road (in Minoa region) and ends way up in the north-west of Heterocera (in Athetis region). The entire southern coastline of Heterocera is fully navigable by boat. In fact, the whole continents coastline is navigable, except for one missing section near Tiger region. Heterocera is Second Life's second oldest continent, and was built between March 2005 until December 2005. The first and oldest region built in Heterocera was the Columbia region. In Columbia, you will find the wreckage of Magellan Linden's airship (at 170,110,29), which he used (and crashed there) during his "discovery" of Heterocera on 14 February 2005. West of Columbia is the neighboring region of Cecropia. In Cecropia, there is a large rectangular storage tank filled with green goo. This was originally meant to be a holding tank for storing liquid "Primoleum" from the ANWR Prim Rig, but the Prim origin story was changed away from a liquid one, to a natural solid Prim one. South of Cecropia is the ANWR Prim Rig in the ANWR region. The Prim Rig lies in a channel halfway between Heterocera and Sansara continents. Prims are mined from the rig and are pumped ashore along a long underwater pipeline to the Heterocera continent, where they are somehow processed and sent to Residents to rez. The region name ANWR is named after the real-life Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska, a 19-million-acre protected area managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It was famously at the centre of a long-standing political controversy regarding oil drilling in its coastal plain. -

In my defense, the Region I visited had a central "park" landing spot where you rez in the center of the Region - on a small island, surrounded by a pond with no bridges. After that nightmare, I forgive myself if I missed the benches! -

I thought I had you blocked. I think you've missed my frequent posts praising the Bellisseria homes. They are the Lindens' best product, bar none. The Copperfields are the best ever. They meet customer requirements. I get multiple homes regularly and while I get bored once I've decorated them or run a stamp event, I just dump them and later refresh with new ones. I am constantly singing their praises, you have merely missed it. And also praise for recent Mainland improvements.
