Our first stop this week is a sonic delight. In MONDO GROSSO / FORGOTTEN we find a world that’s a tribute to the legendary Japanese musician Shinichi Osawa, better known by his stage name, MONDO GROSSO. In this world visitors can expect to be swept away by the eclectic beats and visually stunning environments all inspired by Osawa’s extensive discography. As you navigate this musical experience, every corner pulses with rhythms and melodies, providing a blissful auditory experience. 
MONDO GROSSO / FORGOTTEN feels like stepping into a living album cover. Fans of electronic music or just casual explorers should appreciate the dynamic visual effects that are perfectly synchronized with the music pumping all around you. With its audiovisual artistry, this world is a perfect example of how VR can elevate our appreciation of music even higher.

Next, we find solace in the tranquil Café Summer Sky. This quaint café offers a perfect escape from the frantic pace of both real and virtual worlds alike. Imagine a cozy spot under a summer sky where you can sip a virtual latte while looking out over gently rolling clouds. The charm of Café Summer Sky lies in its simplicity and this world captures the essence of a peaceful spot to grab a cup of your favorite blend and just relax perfectly. It’s an ideal place to meet friends for a chat, reflect quietly, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings so next time you’re in VRChat be sure to drop by the Café Summer Sky.

Our final destination this week sees us plunging into the mesmerizing depths of Aquarius. This captivating world brings the beauty and mystery of underwater ecosystems to life. Artfully designed, Aquarius immerses you in a vibrant, aquatic biome where stunning visuals are just the beginning. 
Through the glass of the habitat you can explore detailed underwater scenery teeming with exotic marine life. The world is alive with movement and color, creating a sense of wonder and tranquility. But Aquarius isn't just about visuals, it's also an educational experience. Interactive displays on the walls and tablets laying about provide fascinating insights into various marine species and their habitats, making it both entertaining and informative. 
Whether you're chilling in the conversation pit watching your favorite weekly VR gaming podcast on the in-world video player, shooting some pool in the lounge or just petting one of the many virtual cats in this world, it's clear that Aquarius offers a must-visit destination for anyone looking to escape and relax under the sea.

That's it for this week, fellow travelers, but don't stow away your headsets just yet. Next week, we’ll continue our exploration by going inside another music visualizer in Audio Orbs, take a trip inside of the Iconic Windows XP desktop wallpaper and relax on an island listening to the sounds of Porter Robinson in Hollowheart so until then... Keep exploring!
