The best thing about this virtual experience is it's hardly possible to do this in real life, sure we can talk over an IM service, but it isn't as fun as communicating inside a game. Also besides, like forums we won't be judged on how we look in real life because we are using avatars to represent ourselves. I think we are expected to observe social etiquette no matter where are we because it's a fundamental social skill, it's what makes us human.

It was fun and exciting going on a road trip to meet students from other countries in second life, and it's nice to see our class get together in an activity.

I did not gain much from this activity because there were too little students from HK and most of the time some of us were engaging in private conversations and it was frustrating because it is pointless as the questions we had to ask are the same.

Uber Messy.

Also, the place was a mess, more often or not we found ourselves walking around aimlessly looking for the HK students, only to find less than 5 on the scene. So in the end most of us just sat around talking and exploring the place. Sometimes, the students refused to answer the questions for whatever reason unknown, and they even told my friend to forget it after my friend started a private conversation with him after the HK student refused to answer back on the public chat.

Finally got hold of a HK student
