Yesterday I did something I rarely do, I stopped working for a moment. I decided to do some sight seeing in Second Life. Instead of flying around, I found a road and just took a stoll to see where it would bring me. I had forgotten how many cool builds there are in Second Life and how creative some of you people are. I walked across about 13 sims and ran in to some great people.
My Point. If you ever feel bored in SL, stop flying around and take a stroll to see everything at ground level. It is a totally different experience.

SL seems much more like an interconnected place if you've walked parts of it. It's also, as you said, a wonderful way to meet new people and see things. |

I did the same thing yesterday...a friend and I walked along a couple sims
and just saw some of the houses and all. There are a lot of creative people
in this game and some of the builds they create definitely inspiring.

Great thread. I'd also encourage everyone to take a stroll around the new northern continent if you get a chance. They are full of wide-open spaces, with cobblestone roads ideal for walking. The waterfall is a nice place to sit and have a picnic, too.  |

So very true. recently I began to re-explore SL, starting at my home and working outward in slow circles. I land in an unexplored area, and then walk the rest of the time. I have found so many wonderful things not even a full sim from my long-time home. Things change so fast in SL and there is just so much to see.
Two the very cool builds were a small shop selling animated snakes in, or out of terrariums. It's very well done. Wish I could remember the name.
Also, a bunch of cows with thier brains exposed and lightbulbs above thier heads (Cows with ideas). Again, my memory for names is non-exsistant, but very funny stuff.
And a large and extremely well done church. Very detailed. Arrg..wish I wasn't at work so I could log in and get the names of the builders and locations. They are all very close to Mimas.

Just for whateverdieties sake, do not try and walk the whole world, you'll regret it, trust me.

Since we got the island, I tend to stay there and sometimes I need to be reminded just why I am here. Just wandering works every time I need it to. The SL we create for ourselves is great, but the SL everyone else makes is really amazing.

If you consider 5 sims away close, could this be the church you saw?

I think Cubey needs to organize another Walkabout for the new continent or something. Maybe start on the mainland and walk past the oil rig and once around the new sims.  I could make a commemorative tshirt for it...
