I was always hearing my friend talk about Second Life she loves the thing spends hours and hours on it, sometimes loosing herself for an entire night. I really don’t get it, I would tell her. She said you gotta try it. Well it took some time but finally I signed up and created a user name and then really didn’t do anything for several months. Well just the other night I got on line and started to play around. Well I wasn’t very successful at figuring much out. There is  a ton of stuff. Apparently you come in with the standard avatar look and the process is to get new skin or skins, eyes, hair, cloths etc to customize your avatar to the look you most like. This is really quite an obsession for some people and they really are into it. So I got signed in again and this time my friend was on and that was good because she and another friend of hers were able to help me out and show me around. We went shopping for the new hair, skins, eyes and cloths. I was taught how to put the things on and how to use them. It was very nice of them to take their time to show me around and help me out. When your shopping there are a lot of items for free and items you pay for in Linder dollars. I am not exactly sure how one gets Linder dollars because my friend was kind enough to give me 1000 Linder dollars to get started. I also understand there is an exchange rate to real dollars from Linder dollars. So I signed on a couple of more times and am making friends and it has been a handy way to find things out. For example I got the low down on some best singapore hotels from a friend on Second Life for my up coming trip to Asia.
