A Unique Manmade Garden Of Eden A very unique tropical vacation destination that not many may have heard of is the Ocean Dome, which is Japan's one-of-a-kind, surrealistic updated version of the Garden of Eden. The Japanese have certainly been able to prove to the world that Paradise can indeed be created inside a Dome that is big enough to house six football pitches, where artificial sea washes over the biggest indoor beach that also has imitation palm trees and other innovations to make this a plastic version of Mother Nature - something to remember for the rest of one's life. By the hour, surf is up and every afternoon is a carnival that even includes mechanical parrots that squawk from rain forest trees and it is possible to relax here for hours on end without being bothered by bugs, vendors or sun burn. Needless to say, one of the world's finest beaches is, without a doubt, the Copacabana located to the south of Rio de Janeiro. This place really comes alive around New Year's Eve, when it is the most popualr place around. You will find everyone dancing in the sand and having the time of their life. The golden colored sandy beaches here are often filled with players engaged in volleyball or barefoot soccer as well as surfers or people who are just relaxing on the beach sipping cool icy Acai mixed with cereal and frozen fruits. Sundays is the best day for shopping for souvenirs. After you shop till you drop, you can eat at the Rodizio. Once you pay an entrance fee, you can eat as much as you want.
