About my start

If you want to start, you surely have to buy actual world map, papers and sticking boards (or something other).

Sticking board is board spread by special glue, what is sticking but it is for many usages.
It is not expensive, but 14 tabs (58x46cm per one) costs in our country 2100Kč (cca 84€) and map 130x90cm only 8€ if you know where is good to buy. There is a picture. The company is called Marco Polo :P, so I knew that I'm in right hands.

So, instalation was tiring, because everything should match and this material is really wavy.

But after fierced fight was almost everything ok.

My father helped me with that.

This is how does it look.

Sticking these things 12times, unpacking blah blah took time .P

This was first step, first tab shoul be stucked perfectly.

Nearly completed puzzle :)

Heureka!

There you can see small manual, how to install it.


There are flags, aren't they sweet? :)


As you can see my country the Czech republic .)


Maaaass :)


Complete work, totaly sticking board with map.

Let's the game start

This is the first new in my blog and I'm glad to start this game.
A few weeks ago I catched some idea in my head and I told myself, yeah it could be great :)
This game is about comunication, international friendships, education and self-actualization.

• You buy map of World and you put it on your wall.
  
• You will find list of all countries, states, republics, teritories etc. on our planet and then you choose one country (...etc.).
  
• After that you will find some informations about this country and write it in your globetrotter blog.
  
• You can use images, ideas, differences between your country and this etc. It is only about your creativity.
  
• And after getting know about this country, you search for one person from this country.
  
• You can use facebook or other communities. He or she should be same age as you.
  
• Because you will be globetrotter, you must speak with foreigners, so you may call this person by Skype, WLM, ICQ or other communication clients and then record simple sentences like: "Hello!", "How are you?", "Goodbye.", "I love you.", "Welcome in my country called ..." and then simple nouns like counting to ten ... and all of this in person's language.
  
• After that, you can upload it here, but your new friend have to agree.
  

Goal of this is to have basic information about this country and maybe friends in whole world.
You can offer them to play this game.
In future maybe will be web like geocaching, where you will have score of your explored country.
Sometimes could happen, that you will have new friend and you will want to meet him personally, so it could be good for travelling if you will have friend in abroad .)

We are virtual travellers and we will explore whole world :)
