Places out there to have fun in

I think I will start also writing reviews of places in Second Life I think are relatively safe from some of the behaviours I am avoiding.. (to stay in the theme of vitue) Some reviews for nice places.. and watching out for the pitfalls of the traps such as Sex Churches and other things that are out there for preditory behaviours to take place.

There was a person from China who said to me that someone offered them a free place to stay.. and then proceeded to molest their avatar.. now some people would say "so what"..but what if it was a child.. (I didn't know the person's age) but its a sort of mental shock.. this injury to an imagined personae..could be as real as someone threating your best favourite doll.. or toy, yes its not "real" but the sentiment is injuring all the same.. people very attatched to their avatars would probably tell you I make too light of the situation!!

Where as there is a certain boldness you can have.. where you DARE to do things you would never do.. such as go and visit someone at their house or close the door on the face of someone who claims to be a robber..weird.. (BTW I was told I should have reported that as an assult because they were threating me with robbery.. by saying "Yo Bitch.. gimme yor money!") I couldn't help but laugh and then after shutting the door on them.. they ran away.. damnit.. I was going to give an answer to that crap!!

yeah..

So anyway went to a few new places.. with my friends. Without my friends I went to a shop to get a freebie.. then I followed a link to another shop.. based of all things, bridal gowns!! So anyway on the way out I saw a girl teleporting in and saw the flicker of a strange title about a "clinic".. and so I looked at her profile to find out what it may be.. she was part of some couple's clinic.. where I guess they couple people up..it seemed odd.. yeah.. but then I saw an iceskating place on her list.. a "Romantic Iceskating" place. I went and took a look.. and found it rather cool.. if I had seen such a place in real life.. I'd go for real.

The space was wonderful, and this very same day, IRL I went iceskating with my little boy and his school class.. so changing into my vitual iceskates was just a joy..although they looked a little big.. the animations were graceful.. and the freeskates that I got at a previous location had a HUD.. to animate my avatar into doing a few more intersting and extra tricks.. such as flying through the air and spins... it was kind of cute for my son to watch an avatar of his mother.. skating in a short skirt in the snow.. in a very cool location. We explored that together.. with ice fishing and other things.. for couples but nothing too weird..

even animations for couple's skating, a susi bar, and a little cove to sit and watch everyone in on the rink, and finally a few ramps! At the teleport site.. a huge camp fire.. and even a shop..

I wanna go back now..

It blew my mind when I went there again with friends how we found out that this Romantic Ice Skating was really a cover for a big time SL escort service.. OMG.. under the ice and also in the clouds..

What on earth am I getting into?
