best 2014 showcase between shadow and light cosmopolitanism in virtual and physical worlds bridging the cultural gaps by optiquest131 march 12 2014 0 recently my class has been given the privilege to work with a group of esl students from varying countries these countries are the same countries that we are exploring in second life this has allowed us to have both views of the community as both people from the physical and virtual world are contributing to our understanding of their communities although both distinct groups are valid they do provide an excellent comparison to one another the three esl students from china gerry carol and holly they allowed us to interview them on a multitude of questions the interview occurred as follows how did you prepare to come to america carol money gerry we bring a credit card from china and i think maybe 500 cash on me what did you wish you had done before you left for america gerry not sure i just wanted to come here and have some fun did you study to come here they informed us that they spent quite a large amount of time learning english and even visited new york city which they though was dirty anything else you wanted to do before you came here carol go to hawaii what were your first impressions of america gerry hungry i was really hungry i wanted to try hamburgers what were your first impressions of uk and lexington all inconvenient why do you say that carol everything is spread out here what do you think of the students gerry pretty friendly and polite what do you think of the city they confirmed that they have been downtown but stated that it was too far away did you all have any pets gerry like three years ago my grandma had a cat and dog the cat died what s your favorite slang word gerry bitch any words of advice to chinese coming to america bring money practice english do you all miss anything carol no tags community culture esl categories uncategorized thoughts on second life by jewelag2 march 11 2014 0 the entire second life experience was funny the program s look with every location was pretty spot on apart from actual size comparisons to the actual place categories field notes exploring taiwan chapter 2 by huxleybnw8 march 6 2014 2 i began a second adventure in taiwan tonight it was around 11 00 and i began my search for users by following my regular routine of searching the map for green dot clusters and teleporting until i found users who seemed open to conversation the first several minutes of my journey yielded no results after teleporting to my 5th location i ended up in an empty building selling sl houses and land there was a cat there named romeo and i allowed my avatar who now resembled a wood elf to sadly pet the creature i continued teleporting determined to find a person i finally came across a cluster in the south and teleported to what looked like a club throughout my journey i ended up in mostly clubs for people to romantically meet each other and places that looked a little like casinos so i wasn t alarmed at the place and the people seemed to be very friendly however i noticed the sign was a women s only club and my avatar being male i decided to stay outside this was a good decision coincidentally since i found a user sitting out on the dock her avatar looked like a ferret or a small cat so i decided to say that she looked very cool and i asked if it was ok if i asked her a few questions for my class i gave her the option of remaining anonymous and our conversation went a little like this 20 38 huxleybnw8 well to begin with how long have you been on second life what s your favorite thing about it 20 39 user wow uhm since 2009 2010 20 40 user as for what i like most about secondlife i think honestly the people 20 40 user you find all these various people from all over the world 20 41 huxleybnw8 cool is it hard talking to people and making friends 20 42 user it can be but unlike rl you re a bit freer here since you have a shield to hide behind but like rl you got bad people here 20 43 huxleybnw8 what kind of bad people like what do they do 20 44 user you got like griefers who seem to get their rocks off making others miserable and you just have people who are just jerks 20 44 huxleybnw8 how do you handle those people 20 45 user with griefers you hope they don t do anything permanent to your avatar and get away from them or hope the region staff get rid of them asap 20 46 user as for the others ignore them mute them or complain to the staff if you feel it s warranted 20 47 huxleybnw8 what can the griefers do like how do they do things to your avatar 20 48 user there is coding that can do things like lock up your avatar or distort how they look or a myriad of other things 20 49 huxleybnw8 d that s scary 20 49 huxleybnw8 do you have recommendations to new users who want to meet people 20 50 user yeah and some of the stuff you can get here if you know where to look like wishmaster which is why it s frowned upon 20 50 user as for meeting people well if you re a female avatar this place is awesome for meeting people they re friendly here 20 51 huxleybnw8 whispers last question 20 51 huxleybnw8 could youtell me about this place then do you come here often anything about it really 20 52 user it s a dance club great music great people lots of fun 20 53 huxleybnw8 cool 20 53 huxleybnw8 that s all the questions 20 53 user all right 20 53 huxleybnw8 thank you so much for talking with me the user preferred to remain anonymous overall it was an exciting experience to interact with one of the users for the first time
