My Invisible City - DioMira

 

 

"Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears,

even if the thread of their discourse is secret,

their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful

and everything conceals something else." - Italo Calvino

 

 

There are certain fears that need to be addressed when you think of visiting a new place for the first time.  There's also a sense of excitement and curiosity that goes along with it.  After traveling 3 long days and arriving at My Invisible city of Diomira, I couldn't wait to explore every angle of it in addition to reading about its' sixty silver domes, bronze statues of Gods and streets paved with lead.  And this was just one section. 

Could you, in your wildest dreams, imagine what the other areas are like?  I could almost feel the anxiety Dorothy felt while following the Yellow Brick Road, on her journey through Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.  Excitement and fear all rolled up into one.

I am not fond of visiting foreign places.  I generally explore new areas with a partner; my significant other, a girlfriend or family members. Last Friday, we went to the city of Diomira delivering a truck load of gumballs.  Never in my wildest dream would I have imagined the use of those gumballs.  They were used to design street lamps at the end of every road.  It was Magical!!  A vision from Disney World. How simply Yummy, to have street lamp posts made from colorful gumballs.

The roads were full of cars, all lined up, back-to-back to enter the city.  There were small cars, large cars and even 45-seater buses all filled with excited passengers roaring with chatter and laughter. .   

It looks most spectacular at night, much like New York City.  My favourite place in the world.  Diomira is a city that stands alone.  It's truly one-of-a-kind.  I won't forget the fabulous sights:  with it's multi-colored lamps lighting the doors of the food stalls and crystal theaters, but the only way to feel the glory of this remarkable city is to visit.  The trip will give you nothing but joy and amazement.
