I have never been a player of games or roleplays, I have to be honest. But I am at home now. Sick…

There is so much talk about Second Life (SL), a virtual world where you can really live your second life. It sounds crazy and it is. But now I know that hearing about it is quite different from being there and talk to other people around there.

Just like in the new world commerce is taking over everywhere, so does it in SL. Shops are popping out of the ground everywhere. But there are virtual nightclubs, shops with weapons, a virtual synagogue and a virtual dojo (for Japanse martial arts) and even a virtual Western Wall (HaKotel) for instance.
But why has the OBA (Public Libary Amsterdam) to be there, and the City Of The Hague?!

It is fun to look around and to be there for one (maybe two) time(s), but I don’t think this is my world. I’ll keep to my own old First Life, I mean people of flesh and blood…
