 This week I decided to go to an art museum  called Vordun. The place showed just how much effort can someone put in constructing a detailed landmark.

 Everything was exactly similar to a standard real museum (would be little disappointing for people who like fantasy side of SL). Anyways, from the moment I entered the place there was a constant message which insisted on getting a headphone. So I did. I did not hear a single thing though. This may be due to my lack of knowledge so we could go to the place in class and see if it works for you guys.

 There also other visitors there (I was more interested in communicating than in exploring the place, as always!).

 For the first time in my "Second Life" life (see what I did there?! :D) I encountered a family.I heard people would start relationship and stuff in SL, but going to a museum holding babies and enjoying family time was a new level to watch.
So I started to talk to them (I feel like all of us have become less shy and more communicative through this semester). They did not look like an expected (real life) family... however, the couple had normal conversations about deciding where to visit next and their plans for the rest of the day.
Second Life is going on surprising me every time I visit and that is why I like it so much!
I mean where on earth would you see people like that (picture above) holding creepy babies and just discussing their pretty normal plans for rest of the day???

 Ok now....back to the place itself. I loved it. There was a room full of random postcards from people saying about themselves.when you clicked on them you could observe them closely.

 Another hall was dedicated to Asian art which was pretty good.Again I insist on going on a tour to Vordun during class and explore that place together.

This is the place where I started my journey from. I had no idea what surprises were in store ahead. This looked like a religious place to me with a few structures with massive domes. I found it quite beautiful actually and well-built.

I kept walking and came to a gas station. Nothing much interesting here though.

And this is where the surprises really began. I found a flying capsule-like-thing. I got on it and it started flying itself. I had never seen this before in Second Life. I let it take me to new places.

The flying capsule stuck to the road. It went from station to station. It took me to some new places like several inns and some new buildings that I had never been to before. The capsule kept telling me as well about the way it would follow prior to getting to a particular destination.

I saw many new places such as this one.

As it flew off land, it suddenly turned into a boat! And now it took to me to new places in the sea.

Such as this one. I couldn’t quite figure out what this place was, but it was interesting.

This looked like a sea port to me.

Finally, the capsule-cum-boat disappeared as fast as it had appeared and I found myself standing in front of a helicopter near the sea. It was a memorable trip in Second Life. I hope to find that mysterious object again when I come back.
