I explore a lot in SL. Some places are real jewels…others not. In many cases of course a matter of taste.
In some cases.. it goes beyond taste.
All I write here is of course just an opinion. Others might see things different.

Apollo Memorial Site
You’ll walk on the surface of the moon where you see the Apollo moonlander. It looks ok… if you keep your environment setting to midnight. Otherwise it becomes a laugh. It is a bit primitivly done. Work of a child? Yeah there is a thing that vaguely looks like a moon lander. At the entrance you need to pick up a special hud to view a few images and a movie…I spent a few minutes to get it working. It didn’t and I didn’t want to spoil more time. Oh..there is a sign at the entrance that you are obliged to wear a space suit, also pointing you to were to buy one. ignore that, I went in bikini and I am still healthy. No need to have yourself lifted a few hundred L$ out of your pocket for nothing. Or you think your moonsuit will be usefull elswhere too? |

Bay City Municipal Airport
This place recently seemed to be cleaned up. I miss the old avatar dump it once was. “If you want a second life? Try to get out here first….It won’t be easy”. Now it is just a place where new residents get dumped, with not much else for them than a group of exploiters (vampires, spammers) waiting for them. |

Carnivale Amusement Park
An amusement park. Every single ride I tried din’t work as it supposed. The shaking rocket never stopped, the wild water thing couldn’t make a turn, I got stuck, another one did work but when getting out we fell across the floor. A sadistic BDSM master might see opportunities in this place.. Be carefull though, you might want your submissives back alive. |

Sweethearts Jazz & Dance club
This is such a very great wonderful lovely Jazz & Dance club. The best one I have ever seen. I earlier wrote that this is a over the top commercialized laggy place, that is a pain in the eyes but still could be a usefull location for succesfully arranging yourself a date with a complete idiot.. Luckily fine people wrote me sweet E-mails which contained only lovely words, helping me realize I saw it all wrong. What a silly cow I am writing such a words about such a fine place. My appologies to all who I might have hurt. Now.. really go see this place. It is great! Fanastic !!! Really. You’ll love it. All the above of course reflects only the opinion of one single individual. |

The Moulin Rouge
How would it be to sit all alone in the famous Paris Night Club the Moulin Rouge, while nothing is happening and nobody is there. There might be another idiot when you enter, but chances are small. Nobody is ever here, their traffic count indicates ‘a few ppl a day’. Lol.. the list of owners and managers contains exactly the same ppl as the list of top donors… and that are again the same ppl as the courtesans which you can hire to amuse you. I guess the same ppl are also the dancers if someone ever dances here.. and they are good for most of the very low visitor count. The place looks rather ok. Most likely rather simular to the real Moulin Rouge. The good part: Autoreturn is off. If you ever need an orignal place to “do something”… it would be possible if you bring your own bed. Most likely no one interrupts you. (Of course it wound’t be decent) I met Mistress who likes to tie subbies on the chairs here. Ah well.. she at least gives the place a reason to exist. |

Berlin
Berlin might be not the most beautifull city on the face of the earth, but it deserves a better representation in SL than this one. Real Berlin = nice place I guess the railway station really looks like the Berlin one and that few streets on this sim actually do exist in Berlin. But it is all not built very well and .. hmmm.. nothing nice here. Nothing else to do here than walk around and get anoyed. No reason to go here.. |

International Spaceflight Museum
Who builds this kind of places.. and WHY? Even more.. why is this place always in the Lindens “showcase”.. do they ever go themselves to the places they feature? Let’s start with rezzing a vehicle for the guided round tour.. oh.. it works..but it doesn’t allow anybody to sit on it. It leaves without you. Ok then.. let’s go walking. Then – for those who know how to far-zoom as the roof is in the way – you see a whole bunch of rockets. Interesting! Give me information about each one! But no, no information provided at all. Which rocket does what? We won’t learn here. Well you can watch Nasa TV on a big square with uselessly much empty chairs. Boring.. if we wanna watch TV, we have one in the living room. Now we are in SL. Let’s move on. Ok.. we see the inside of a space capsule (no idea which type or so), of the space shuttle, a futuristic space ship, you can sit on what I think is a moon car, but it doesn’t drive. Then I met the only other person around, he seemed to work here and had objections about my clothing cause 1/4 of a nipple was visible. Weirdo! I have nice boobs, at least something worth watching at this place. A replica of the Apollo rocket – they went to the moon with that – and there we are: Gift shop. Also nothing worth spending a dime on. Oh.. I forgot the European rocket, somewhere in a corner. Long, erected and hard, like the othes, but then green. The fact that meanwhile the Chinese also have been in space – already quite a while ago – didn’t reach this museum yet. Sputnik is already forgotten and Yuri Gagarin is nowhere mentioned (neither is Neil Amstrong). Having learned nothing, having seen nothing interesting and did no nothing that could somehow be seen as entertaining, SLI took off her jacket again and teleported out again. Not that SL is a good place for museums but this crapy collection of rocket shaped things is no museum. |
