I firstly chosen the island/shopping site 'MIA' but then i changed to the island 'Port Seraphine'. when i first went to MIA shopping site i did not quite get how the virtual shopping works as the layout was unclear without any signs or posters to indicate the different items there. Hence, i then decided to choose Port Seraphine.
Below is my description and screen shots on my virtual shopping, Enjoy!~
Over at Port Seraphine , i gradually managed to understand and learnt how the virtual shopping works.
Firstly, Port Seraphine offers a variety of products and all of them were categorized ranging from Menswear, Dresses & Outfit, Separate, Pool Wear and even to a section Sales (items which were on sale).
In the Menswear section, there were different types of clothings like Sweim Trunks as well as different designs and genre of jeans and tops(e.g. vest, shirt, long-sleeve etc).
It is mainly similar for the other section, however some sections like the Dresses & outfit provides Womens Wear and section Separate also provides Womens Wear. As seen below is the screenshots of Dresses & Outfit section and what could be found in here.
Over at the Sale section,individuals are actually able to buy skin tones for their avatar to add on to the appearance settings. Below is the Sales section and what could be found inside it. Male or female clothing's are available from tops to bottom jeans to long sleeve shirts etc.
Screen shot below is when i tried to actually purchase the items but do not have enough virtual cash ~ They prompted me to purchase more virtual cash.

Screen shot below is a screen shot of 2 other unique section in the shopping site where mostly Womens wear or Womens lingeries etc are sold.
Over at the Pool section, individuals are able to purchase not only swim wear or bikinis but they are also able to purchase swimming pool boards/ pool chairs etc. Screen shots below is how things in the Pool section looks like.
Secondly, The shopping environment/ambience at Port Seraphine is very stylish and relaxing. Currently, during my visit here there were not much people around. The design of the place is very interesting with nice decorated layouts and some chairs/sofa somewhere in the centre.The place made me feel happy and relaxing as i get to roam around freely to explore the various items available.

Thirdly,the accessibility to the products/services offered were very easy to access as they were in reach and the steps to purchase was also very simple and straight forward. However, all the products here at Port Seraphine were chargeable but i managed to get to know another user who helped me out in bringing me to other shopping sites for free stuff (:
Below screen shot is a free place where i went to get free stuff~
Fourthly, the user-friendliness and flexibility of the shopping site is very high because it has different sections being separated and named accordingly for easy selection. Unlike the shopping site i visited earlier on MIA there were no indications of sections which made me feel lost.
Lastly, during my virtual shopping at Port Seraphine i managed to get to know another avatar user named Nicole Wigvald. However, i did not get to meet any other Temasek Poly users during my virtual shopping. I approached Nicole Wigvald and she offered me help to bring me around to places providing free items like clothes, sneakers, hairstyles and etc. ((: In addition she brought me to a place oroviding free AO which is Animation Override which enables me to improve my scope of movements.
Below is my screen shot on the other shopping i went to with Nicole~
My Summarized Experience on Virtual Shopping~
Question: "What do you like best about this virtual experience which you cannot get in real life?"The best thing about this virtual experience is i am able to dress up anyway i want and at any point of time i want to. I can change my appearance every single time without restrictions as compared to real life this things could not be the same. I could also be anyone i want to be and change into a different person at any time which in real life is not achievable. To conclude, this virtual experience made me feel free and relaxed to do anything i want to and be anyone i want to which in real life it is not possible. (:
In comparison with the E-Shopping spree i did earlier on for my Practical 1 & 2, it is different in the sense that in online shoppingeverything is chargeable and it is occurring in real life but as for virtual shopping, it is literally not real and there are places to get things for free and to add on, in virtual shopping i am able to get a much more variety of items at one time as i am in a virtual shopping site.Thus, i feel that virtual shopping is much more fun and also safe as i will not get cheated off my money.
From this E-learning experience i learnt to experience what is Virtual shopping and get a feel of what it is like to be in control and be or look how i want it be like. But at the end of the day , i understand that virtual world is a good place to enjoy oneself and a place to relax.
What is the most challenging experience i had?
Apart from acquiring virtual money to purchase the items/goods at the virtual world as one of my most challenging experience, the other challenging experience for me besides the virtual world was to actually post my SCREENSHOTS into my blog. I have no idea how to do so :(
