Day 5

My goal for today:
Checking out Amsterdam

So, yesterday I was in Amsterdam, and didn't really do much there. So when I logged on to Second Life today, I was still there. Yesterday there was only women everywhere, but today there was a man hanging out, so he came over to me instantly when I logged on and said "You're sexy!". Ooops, he probably thinks I am a prostitute or maybe he is one, and looks upon me as a potential customer- who knows. I quickly explained that I was new in SL, and that I didn't understand much of it yet. He said he was new, too, so he couldn't help me much, when I asked him what to do. So we talked a bit, and I thought now was a good time to ask him some questions for my school project.


So I explained that I was doing a project on relationships in SL, and asked him if he thought it was possible to have a relationship (romantic) in SL. He answered "No! I prefer real life." I asked him "But if you had to, because you where in a long distance realtionship- wouldn't it be a good substitute?" and he answered "Maybe, but here is no feeling.." At this point a big Hummer drives into us, and a prostitute gets out of the car and starts talking to my friend, asking if he wanted to have some fun. I said thank you to him and walked away. But just some metres, and (not intentionally) could still "hear" what they were talking about. She obviously wanted to sell sex, and suprisingly (ok, not REALLY a big surprise, but it was just really strange) he wanted to buy. They discussed the price, she wanted 13.000 Linden dollars. I felt bad listening to this, but fascinated at the same time. They talked for a long time, and suddenly this BIG dark skinned lady came over an stood right in his face and asked what he was paying, (I think she was the other girls pimp or something!), and he asked how much it was for a threesom and the big mama got mad, and at that point they started talking dutch, since they figured out that they all were from Amsterdam! So I missed the rest of the conversation, and walked away. Wow, what a strange experience. On my walk away from the red light district, a prostitute said hi, so I wanted to use this possibilty to ask her some questions. I told her about my project, and first she seemed very happy to help me, and when I asked her about realtionships and how close you can get in SL ecc, she said "Im sorry, I don't know this!" and disappeared!! Obviously not very keen on helping me with so personal questions, but thinking about what she is doing in SL, I can understand why she dosen't want to confront these questions... Time to log off.
