Funny thing is, I've been overseas so many times now, I didn't even need to concentrate in order to read this. It made perfect sense to me

This technique does not necessarily work if you come across any people from the USA in your travels. The current recommendation to have a chance of being understood is that you should type VERY SLOWLY . . . and intentionally include bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

EDIT: Actually, the above advice applies to pretty much anyone whose first language is not Good English.

ADDENDUM: Don't make disparaging jokes; although it is believed that every nation does have a sense of humour, this tends to dissipate under pressure from foreigners, leading to excoriation and accusations of insensitivity.

Hello,
need some hints and tips for touring:
Have a look at the web tab of my profile or put http://members.a1.net/secondlife/profil/index.htm into your owne profile web tab - there is our index to nice places optimized for use in profiles.

Join the group SL Guided Tours for free to get notecards with landmarks to nice places every 3-4 weeks.

We try to check the sites every 4-6 weeks to stay up to date and fill in new places.

Happy touring around ...

Kewl! I geocache in RL and have been trying to tour around SL. Maybe I'll start doing that as a way to find places rather than random flying.

Some times I turn into a tourist. I spend all my time in SL building and sometimes get bored/frustrated or loose sight of the world and the people I am building for. Traveling can provide me with inspiration so once or twice a year I leave my business in the hands of someone else and go off on a Dice Man tour for a week. Most destinations are through recommendation. I'll start off in busy public place like the Space Park for instance and then stop and chat to people asking them for a recommended destination or if no one is interested then I’ll look at profiles. Choose 3 destinations and the let your dice decide which one to go to. Some of the people I stop and talk to are very friendly and ask to travel with me for an hour or afternoon, a roll of the dice will decide whether or not I get a companion. If anyone invites me anywhere or offers me any sort of choice it's down to the dice to decide. If no one is around to give recommendations then I rez a vehicle or fly off in a certain direction determined by the dice until more choices present themselves. It’s good fun and you end up in some really cool places you would never have bothered to visit left to your own devices.

I so, so need to start doing those blimp charter tours of the mainland...

Yes, you do.

Potential tourists might also be interested in getting the wikiTiPi HUD and loading some of the available telepacks from wikitipi.com.

Or you can grab the SLURLs from most public web pages and load them into your HUD through the website with a single click.

Black leather lace up shoes...

Thank you so much... the white coats are now at my office door to take me blithering away

These would all be fun. I'd do them.
