The Spring Break of Estaban Zenovka - A RL Blog of a SL Experience

A RL Blog of a SL experience

The Spring Break of Estaban Zenovka

I have now been in SL 3 times. I joined last weekend. Made an avatar and wandered pretty clueless for a while. I completed the orientation island sequence and wandered around aimlessly. I realized here I have no skills, little knowledge, and currently no skills and no way to make money. Like a FOB (fresh off the boat) immigrant, I ran to ISTE headquarters to find people like me. It really is like an immigration experience. I am struck by all the parallels that my ancestors would have encountered as they came from Europe to the USA a hundred years ago. You need friends that can help. It would be great to have family in place. A place like ISTE is what the Polish Falcon Club or the Knights of Lithuania, or a church of your faith and language must have been for my grandparents. One powerful difference. I can read and speak the language of most of the people here. And I do not have to pay money to eat and survive.

Day 1 – 4/12/07 9-10PM

Enjoyed the chat at the ISTE Headquarters. Made two new friends Ceni and Indrid. All of us are new and traded info on how to do stuff. Indrid is from Bangkok and Ceni is from the West Coast.
