some facts about second life

• in terms of fonts and languages, whatever Windows takes SL will probably recognize
• your inventory is the depository of everything, from note cards you get from people, objects to landmarks that gives you a shortcut to where you want to go. it also contains your clothing and everything else you've acquired.
• for clothing, click "search" and then "places", type Freebie and a bunch of places will pop up, Freebie beach is a good place to get started, it also has skins but unfortunately if you change your skin you won't quite look like yourself. Money Island and Money Tree Island are two more places where you can earn money and get some free stuff. Just click teleport under the picture of the place you selected to go there.
• you can also buy things in SL, right click on the object and select pay, your balance is on the top right hand corner. You can camp or fill out surveys to earn money. Surveys pay way more but they are a pain. Either ways you are interacting with an object (a poseball or a ATM object) to get started. For camping the best place is Woodstock Island but you have to join the group Hippie Free Spirit first, it has a slightly cumbersome procedure, if you need help, write me a reply. :)
• WORD OF CAUTION: SL is virtual, but it does have real world characteristics, hence you will see pornography and other R rated places. Teleport can always get you away from something that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• To set a landmark, simply click "world" - "create landmark here", or you can also say "set home here".

That's all I have for now!
