About Landmark: Singapore
I can see that the builders of Singapore are trying to build a Second Life Singapore with landmarks that we Singaporeans are familiar with. I saw our SBS bus, our local bus stops, Suntec's Fountain of Wealth, Peranaken Houses and our local scene of coffeeshops, those old open shop concept where you will sip your hot coffee under trees while you talk and catch up with your fellow friends.
When i first saw the hawker stalls in Second Life, i laughed! "What? Hawker stalls in Second Life? Hahaha... What are they gonna sell?". I can't wait for the stall owners to come in with their food most probaly Singapore Delicies like Laksa, Char Kway Teow, Chicken Rice?
It does gets more interesting when i see places that i am familiar with. I feel less lost. It gives you a feeling of home in "Second Life". Perhaps those Singaporeans that are not residing in Singapore would find SL bringing them closer to home with our popular landmarks in Singapore.
Hopefully in the near future we'll see HDB flats and other memorable lankmarks from Singapore in Second Life!
