~ Virtual Holiday~

My Holiday destination in Second Life is to New York City and i also went to see the New York Town.

Screenshot below is taken when i arrived at New York City, with their many buildings and shops around.

Below is screenshot of another section of the street along New York City.And if you are able to see, along the roads by the pavements are actually parking ticket machine. Where people slot coins to get their parking ticket.

Below, i had taken the screenshot of a hot dog stand which are commonly found over at New York City.

 In this screenshot, is one of the shops found at NYC. If you are able to see the poster of the shop it actually says "New York City - Bikes, Outfits & More". There are a variety of shops in NYC.

 Below is a screenshot of the New York City taxis i took.

 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 Below 2 screenshots are over at New York Town. As you can see below, the first screenshot with the area so messy and deserted with no one at all.

 and over at this screenshot, if you are able to see there is actually a body of a dead person in half with the blood all over. I didn't realize that in Second Life we are able to kill other users. LOL!~ ^_^

To compare my virtual experience traveling to other country like New York City  with traveling in real life is that , in virtual traveling i am able to travel anywhere i want at anytime. Need not worry of money for flight tickets etc as i am able to teleport to anywhere i wish to go to. Virtual traveling however, does not give users with the full traveling experience meaning that we are not able to see the actual country or place. This is because in the virtual world, everything is designed to look alike to a certain place but it will not be exactly the same. To conclude, virtual traveling is positive as it can happen anytime without the need of preparation however, the negative side is that it does not project/provide a full experience of the place or country we are going to.

I only managed to get a few screenshots as My Second Life Viewer keeps on hanging and the response is very very slow :( Hope the pictures above will show you how the virtual New York City and New York Town looks like.
