Free Close on SL

As a beginner of Second Life, I felt kind of scared to try new things. I was not the kind of person who could easily get along with strangers. Besides, though SL was not RL, I was still afraid of culture shock the teacher told us. At first my avatar was a girl with a plain dress and the hair was bounded a horsetail. I didn’t want to look always like a new comer in SL and wear always the same dress. I wanted to change my clothes and other things. The problem was I didn’t have any money. How could I buy clothes? And where could I get a job? It seemed very troublesome to me.

Thanks to my friend, who is my classmate and had been in SL more often than me. She introduced to me some places, where there were a lot of clothes for free. She teleported me to a ballroom where she said she met a few nice girls offering her useful information. They even gave her some cards. There were two nice gowns for free that are quite beautiful. I had my first new clothes there.

Then she teleported me to another place where there were a lot of aisles like supermarket. And many boxes are lined there. Those were boxes of free clothes, I could have many choices. Most of the girls’ clothes were dresses. Some of them I liked very much. Of course there are shops, but the items cost money. I would wait until I earn money to go shop.

Well, to me it was a special experience. It was kind of like beginning a new life. I think this do encourage me to explore Second Life world.
