I first visited the island named Pondex. Pondex seems like a place to go if you just want to relax. There are many beaches and palm trees in the area. I thought that it was neat that there were mountains with snow on them since it looks like a tropical island. In addition to the beaches there is also a marina where you can dock your boats if you have any. My first impression was that someone was trying to create a tropical island. Pondex has a large building that looks like a pavilion for which to put advertisements. There is an art exhibit that has many beautiful pictures, many of which are of beaches, islands, and oceans. I think the objective of the sim was just a place to get away from the normal world and go somewhere unique.
Chakryn Forest looks like a forest in a weird dream. There is a statue of a knight in the middle of the forest. He probably did something was brave or heroic to get such an honor to be made into a statue. There is also a little booth where you can sit in a tub of blood and it says “click here to die as Marat”. I do not know who Marat is but I plan on finding out after I saw this. In one of the corners of the forest there is a pond surrounded by a beautiful rock formation. Next to that there is a light blue tree that has spirally and twisted branches. Something I thought was neat was the falling leaves all around. I did not see it at first when I was exploring, but when I was flying around I found a tree house with a couple of couches and a painting.
When I first arrived in Themiskyra I saw a landing strip for what looked like UFOs. When I flew around a little bit more I noticed that there were many different buildings for many different eras. There were areas that I could not cross into unless I was a member of some club or organization. There was a building that had the patterns of an Indian teepee and you could buy all kinds of beds. I thing I thought was interesting was the underwater highway. I took a picture of myself by a couple of UFO. I did this for a couple of reasons. For one, I love space and the possibility of there being life out there fascinates me. Another reason is that I love flying. I think that the reason Themiskyra was created is to possibly get a feeling of what different societies there could be such as space and underwater.
My choice from the featured locations was Inspire Space Park. When I first got to Inspire Space Park I walked around and I saw a group of people doing tai-chi. I thought this was a little strange, so I had to get my picture taken there. I wouldn’t have imagined someone wanting to do tai-chi in space, but that’s what Second Life is for. You can do things that you wouldn’t normally do in real life. I also noticed that, for some reason, I was unable to fly around. Well let me rephrase that. You could glide. When you tried to fly you would just fall in the flying position. I talked with some of the people that were in the Space Park. I found out that this place is for relaxation and meditation. There were many exotic looking bean bags and rest areas inside.
When I first arrived at Info Island I noticed that there were many buildings to use for reference on just about anything. The trees lit up at night. They were beautiful. The next places that I went to JoeC joined me. There was also a dance club that I went to. The name of it was Jazz Cat. It is for ballroom dancing with a member of the opposite sex. Although you can dance, no one was there to dance with when I went. I believe that this sim was created for entertainment. Another neat building that was there was a castle and inside it had a bunch of different illusions. I think that its purpose was to entertain. I found another dance club named Club UWS that looked pretty interesting. On the bottom floor there were couches and a bar. On the upper floor there was a dance floor to do a variety of different dances. JoeC and I shredded up the dance floor with some sweet moves. No one else was there when we were. The last place that JoeC and I visited was the science center. They had fascinating pictures of cells and atoms, a model insect, and a model of a group of red blood cells. It also gave a link to all science related places in SL. I think that the purpose of the place was to be a reference. One event that was going on soon on Info Island was the Winter Wonderland Dance on January 30. I’m thinking about attending that.
