|/The village is divided into several large areas; these areas will be
| further explained later in this guide. But for now, knowing the broad
| groups should help you find your way around this brave new world.

| Your Farm
|
| Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Initially, your farm sure
| qualifies for the label "humble" - a house, a field, and little else. But
| have no fear, with your help (and maybe a little of mine) your humble abode
| will soon be a bustling commercial hub.
|
| The three key things to note on your farm at this point are your house,
| your field and the shipping box. While the house and field may be fairly
| self-explanatory (or if they aren't, read on), the shipping box may be the
| most crucial: anything you put in here will be sold by the next morning.
| This is how you make money - put goods in the shipping bin. You'll find
| later that there are also shipping bins available in the barn and chicken
| coop for convenience.
|
| At the beginning of the game, you'll be given the option of where you would
| like to put your initial farm, with three locations to choose from. For
| information on the benefits and drawbacks of each plot, see under Your
| Property (search for < YPR > without the spaces).

| The Village Area
|
| The hustling, bustling town center of the island. Well, it will be, at
| least. Early on it can be fairly quiet - new villagers arrive as the game
| progresses. Eventually, the village area will be the central commercial
| location for buying seeds, buying clothes, celebrating festivals, meeting
| the villagers, and pretty much everything else you could think of doing
| in a small town such as this. Play your cards right, and you'll eventually
| have your wedding in the church nearby.

| The Beach
|
| The beach to the southwest (well, and just west, and just south - it is an
| island, after all) is home to a fishing pier, soft sands, seashells and
| the occasional fun-in-the-sun festival. Beyond that, though, it's a fairly
| quiet area that you likely won't be visiting on a daily basis.
|

| The Woodlands
|
| The woodlands, to the northeast of the main area of the island, serve as a
| midpoint between the bustling town center and the mountain peaks that
| overlook the island. Here you'll find numerous wild animals as well as some
| great spots to forage for herbs, mushrooms and either goodies for sale or
| cooking. You'll also find several stumps and logs to jump for lumber for
| use in your eventual home expansions. And don't forget about the peaceful
| stream running through, there are certainly some notable fish jumping
| around in there.
|

| The Mountain
|
| And finally, up beyond the woodlands lies the mountain. Here you'll find
| more foraging and animals, but more notably you'll find the mines where
| you can dig (well, hammer) for precious stones and ores. Some festivals
| occur up here as well, though it's notable that certain areas of the
| mountain will be unaccessible until you complete certain other tasks.
|
| The mountain area also contains the Hot Spring - a single dip in the
| Hot Spring will completely restore your stamina, but you can only utilize
| the Hot Spring once per day.

| The Other Islands
|
| If you look at a map, you'll see there are three small islands off the
| coast to the south. These islands are home to some of the Harvest Sprites,
| key characters in your quest to reawaken the Harvest Goddess that has
| left the island.
|
| The two islands directly south are named East and West Gull Island; the
| island further to the east is named Toucan Island. This island is
| especially notable, as Selena arrives from here and there is a small inn
| on the island, selling rare seeds and fruits. You'll gain access to these
| islands as you progress through the goddess quest.
