Virtual shopping spree on Second Life!

Hello people! It's time for another round of update! Today, I'll be blogging about my experience on Second Life, it's a virtual interactive world, in case if you don't know :)

I've spent quite an amount of time on it since it's my first time using SL. I would say the overall experience was quite good!

So, what is it that I love most about this virtual experience that I can't get in real life?

It's be flying!!! :D It has always been a dream for man to fly around, just like birds, freely everywhere! However, we are not equipped with that ability. This is totally not the case in SL as all characters are granted the ability to fly around! Super cool isn't it? I was totally fascinated by that!

If you think flying is too slow for you, SL has the teleporting function! Yes! You can teleport to wherever you want to, that's even better isn't it? Imagine if we're able to teleport around in the real world, there wouldn't be any traffic jams and we can save travelling time! It's superrrr awesome!

As assigned, we were told to do some virtual shopping by visiting some sites! Even though like I mentioned in my first post that I love shopping, I did not forget about this assignment and took pictures! Take a look at some screenshots I took while shopping!

One of the shops selling lots of skirts!

My favourite shop! Look at the range of products they're selling! It's a haven for girls!!! :D

Another awesome shop selling apparels.

This experience is totally different from the online shopping I did previous posts back! One main reason is that the things I bought here can only be worn by my character in SL, while for the real e-shopping, I'm able to get the real purchased objects and use it myself! This also explains why the clothes at SL are much cheaper than in real life! :)

Another great thing I love about SL is that it allows me to customise the appearance of my character! No plastic surgery required, free of charge and you can decide how you want to look like! Everyone on the streets can be super pretty and handsome in SL! It's really fun to customise your outfit my matching the clothes yourself! :D

Throughout this e-learning trip at SL, I was also able to meet people from different places! I think it's a great thing for people to have an opportunity to interact and learn new things from different people! It's always great to make new friends, isn't it? :)

One main thing I've learnt through this experience was the advancement in technology! I'm quite impressed by the options available for us, users to choose and interact with. The graphics is pretty well done too! I'm pretty sure this would be quite impossible 10 years ago? I've learnt another valuable lesson about how society is advancing and having internet access is simple awesome!!! Computers are indispensable nowadays, seriously!

One most challenging experience I had was figuring how to navigate around to different places in the map! Fortunately the orientation island helped me alot and familiarised myself how to use SL properly! The connected with SL was also quite laggy as well, but overall, it didn't affect the pleasant experience I had with SL! :)
