A new high tech version of Hide-&-Seek game - Geocaching: As with everything 
else, in our small Earth, the games are going global too. A new version of 
"Hide-&-Seek" or in Zentanian "Kukamshefti" is becoming a popular attraction 
and adventure game including the grownups too. Are you nostalgic  of your 
"Kukamshefti" days, so challenging, frustrating, and entertaining altogether, 
when time seemed so deceiving endless, as living the eternity itself? I'm 
sure, oh yes, you do, we all are a little nostalgic, and we do miss part of 
it.

We can offer you "that little something," you are missing for years, a high 
tech version of the game, a great adventure game, which as with all the 
postmodern things, it has a new name, -  Geocaching. The game is taking off 
and spreading very quickly in Ameritania's East Coasts, and the rumors 
circulating recently are baffling everyone; the game was introduced 
accidentally in the  most possible place where it can be played, in a remote 
region of Balkans, very far, thousands of miles, on the other side of 
Atlantis, in the country which is designated in  some maps as Zentana. 

It is so true, the place is so remote that the GPS(Global Positioning System) 
can be somehow, in many ways a lifesaver for a foreigner. This instrument, a 
pocket GPS, saved the life of an Ameritanian tourist, and the amazing thing 
about all this surreal story is that the Ameritanian tourist happened to be a 
Zentanian-Ameritanian (what a name!) visiting his country of origin, a decade 
after his last visit to the country. He got lost in the midst of a densely 
populated area of his birthplace, and his former residence which at the same 
time happened to be the capital of Zentana, - Taubinit itself. 

It is an unbelievable story, with so many twists and turns, as it was the 
endeavor of the poor tourist to get out of the overcrowded place. Thanks to a 
Palm Pilot, and with some help from his GPS, he got in contact with several 
of his old folks, few of them still living in Taubinit, and some back in 
Ameritania, whom working together as a real "NASA team"  got him out of that 
place, safe but a little bit shaky from the whole ordeal. His former city of 
residence, according to him, was turned into a new, unknown and overpopulated 
 planet. He got out of this new metropolis, totally exhausted and in complete 
disbelief of what had just happened to him.


Intermezzo
It is a well-known fact that Taubinit, as with all the Zentanian urban 
centers, they lack a reliable mapping system of roads and buildings, 
neighborhoods, energy supplies net, sewage and drinking water system, etc. As 
a matter of fact, actually, Taubinit is going through a facelift unseen 
before, a well-intended construction fever, but this  construction boom is in 
most of the cases, unplanned, and so uncontrollable that unfortunately, the 
situation seems out-of-hand, almost. As one of the Taubinit's resident put 
it: "You wake up in the morning, walk around you neighborhood, and you ask 
yourself in disbelief, -'Am I in the right state of mind ?' A new kind of 
building stands up somewhere, erected half-naked, and you didn't noticed it 
before, even the passed night, - ' Am I seeing a mirage or  what ?' This is 
happening in Taubinit today. All this reminds me of the New-Realism zhanre, 
and specifically the Italian movie called "The Roof"(in Italian "IL Tetto"), 
which we used to watch on our old-fashioned black-and-white MADE IN  ZENTANA 
TVs, at least once  a week. We are going  through the same New-Realism period 
of Italy devastated by the war, but with few new twists and tricks. Our 
devastation was not caused from the war as in  Italy, but from the 
totalitarian control and some kind of mental sickness of the administration 
of Orwell's Animal Farm, called 'Utopia'.

The above is  just an intermezzo to make you more coherent and help you link 
the past and the present and in no way was intended as the purpose of the 
exploration of our entertaining work.
