After viewing what the island offered, I noticed the shops are designed with the outback and ranch like kind of feel, I think it's mostly influenced by the outback in Australia or Africa.
Some of the apparels do not require money, like the one on the top screenshot (if you noticed the left-handed most banner says "FREE 4 YOU", and true enough I managed to get a few free apparels.
Some apparels however require a bit of money to purchase, the in-game currency "L$" is purchasable using real money, then exchanged for it.
The inventory slots are well placed and categorized, so there was no trouble with looking for my clothings. However it is slightly frustrating to navigate because there wasn't any directions given.
As you can see the island is mostly deserted, so I had to find my way around on my own.
Last but not least, my notecard.
Since the reflection isn't long, I shall go ahead and do it here
Reflections
Compared to the E-shopping spree, this is more fun because it's more interactive. Rather than looking for stuff online, (makes me feel like I'm doing research) I feel like I am actually doing the shopping like walking along Orchard road or Suntec.
However, I've learnt that it isn't wise to buy virtual items using real money because it just isn't real. Virtual things are meant to simulate everyday living, but not replacing it. I've learnt that lesson the painful way when I spent over $500 on virtual games such as Gunbound, Maplestory and other F2P (free 2 play) games.
The most challenging experience was navigating, because the island was huge, I had difficulties finding my way and not to mention, travelling takes awhile too.
