Second Life synopsis

I spent 4 weeks on Second life. Experimenting with the virtual world.
I began by creating my charector, I found this pretty basic. I chose a set charector for a option on 4/5, then I decided to edit the charector to resemble myself. This is where I came to my first issue with second life. My charector was a chinese man dressed as a goth. And however I tried editing him nothing would change, I ouldnt change the colour of his skin or his clothes. The only thing I found that was editble was his hair, so I was left with the same charector I began with.
After a few hours on second life I lernt to fly and teleport to different areas in second life. I came across a shop which you could buy new clothes. Again I coudnt do this as you needed money to purchase new clothing. This became annoying as i couldnt work out how to make money, apart from putting in your own money which I wasnt wanting to do.
But I found teleporting to dirrent areas in second life quite interesting as you could meet difernt types of charectors. I went to a Brazillian night club which was quite confusing as everyone was speaking to me in portugese and the only reply I had for them was "do you speak english".
In conclusion I think if I had a bit more time on Second life and some more knowledge I would enjoy using it a lot more as ive seen there is a lot to do on it.
