MICCAN
THE "HEART" OF TARDINE
Miccan - or Micham, in the native language Ramshuwa, is considered one of the oldest cities of the country (if not in the whole world). However, you must not be fooled by the cities' age, as the city itself is the technological center of the country. Located on a area where a dry forest makes its transition to a dense rainforest, Miccan is a city of contrasts. In the dry season, temperatures may reach easily 36 ºC. However, in the rainy season, temperatures never go higher than 25 ºC.
The city has some of the most disputed beaches of Tardine, as the high waves and the large white sand coast makes them the perfect spot to surfing or, if you are a family person, stay the day on the unaccountable beach restaurants. Finding a place to stay will be hard, as the city is the most populated on the country, with 13 million people living there. Here is a simple list of the best places in this huge metropolis:
Marukerai (Sea-Shore) Beach: The most well-commented beach of Miccan, the Marukerai Beach has 3.87 kilometers of extension and hosts every year the Nouva Jera (New Year) Festival of Miccan. The festival is an unforgettable celebration, with fireworks coloring the already beautiful sky and people dressed specially for the occasion. If you thought this was the only thing the beach has to offer, don't forget to visit it on the Migratory Months, where hundreds of turtles deposit their eggs on the beach.
See-the-Weight Market: Know as the biggest market in open air of Tardine, the See-the-Weight Market hosts hundreds of stores where people can buy whatever they could imagine. It is a colorful place, where thousands of people buy things everyday. There are many restaurants, a bunch of toy stores and every kind of store that has in the world.
The Great Walls: Dating back to the antiquity, the city of Miccan had big walls engulfing the entire city. What remains of those can be found on the outskirts of the city, along with the Old Port of Miccan. The Great Walls are the perfect spot to those who like antiquity, history, big walls and old stuff. A local guide generally accompanies people, assuring that the historical place stays preserved like it has been for centuries. There's also a souvenir shop with replicas of the many historical artifacts that the place has.
Korutasi (lit. Funny) Ferris Wheel: Being the tallest (210.01 meters high) and the most visited Ferris wheel of Tardine, the Korutasi Wheel is one of those places where it's impossible to visit only once. While seeing the image, you may think it's not as tall as said. However, once inside, you can see the tops of most of the city buildings (unless you're talking about Emperaini Tower, which is massive). The Korutasi wheel is an internationally famous place and has been host of marriages, shows and even an Imperial speech (on 2004, see the complete video on Viedéo).
Emperaini Tower: Being 674.5 meters tall, the Empire's Tower is the tallest building of Tardine. It was build on the short reign of Stanfen II Janiep Kladerai, father of the actual emperor, from the year 1987 to 1995. It hosts many enterprises and the Museum of Technology. It's truly a great experience to visit it for the 1st time.
Miccan's Tech Valley: The technological center of Tardine hosts the Tech Valley, an island where the biggest technology enterprises of Tardine takes place, including Estari (star). Estari was founded on Miccan, in the year of 1958 and is the most famous company of the Valley. It's a place for tech lovers, and the perfect place to look for a job.
