"Kawayan at Tubig is a small Filipino-beach-themed Airbnb created by  Flicker Bayan, who invited me to come and look.

Costing 500L per day, it’s a beautifully laid out spot that I recommend for either a couple’s getaway or for a private party involving a group of friends."

"Victorian women and girls, working hard on the factory floor, a lone overseer perched like a vulture above. A story far deeper than pixels and avatars. This isn't just a Second Life scene; it is a portal to a bygone era of grit and smoke, of women's sweat and phosphorous whispers." Read more on Flickr

"Every week I search for Hotels within the Firestorm viewer, which in the recent past has led me to hidden treasures like The Continental.  This week doing so had me stumble upon the Bravin Hotel. 

This modern themed venue, replete with amenities such as a dining room, spa, pool, small beach, and mini-golf course, sparked my interest after navigating in search through a sea of adult clubs masquerading as Hotels.

While there were aspects of the Bravin that appealed to me, such as its well-appointed rooms and spa, this appeal was somewhat dimmed by its high price tag in comparison to similar options.  I also wondered if much of the space could have been better utilised."

"When it comes to the history of Second Life, there are many who may claim to hold some of the facts and figures and legends and tales. However, were the truth to be told, there is really only one person who has spent years carefully building what is perhaps the most complete history of Second Life’s long and growing history, and then synthesising it down in a manner that can be easily digested and appreciated: Sniper Siemens."

"Back in April 2022, I came across The Forgotten, an engaging, highly-photogenic Full region designed by Elfie (then Elfing Shenanigans, now WeeWangle Wumpkins – such is the magic of Second Life Name Changes!). I thoroughly enjoyed my explorations at the time, as I noted  in Finding The Forgotten in Second Life, and in sitting and contemplating the newly-installed bookcases in my cosily-refurbished home office, a stray thought wandered into my head about the region, leading me to consider hopping over and seeing what has changed – and so I did."

"Recreating a RL destination in Second Life is quite hard, given the limitations of what you can realistically do within one or two regions. As a result, many creators fall into a common mistake of overwhelming spaces with too much detail. However, SL Restaurant and destination brand Fete has in the past done a good job in capturing the essence of real-world locations without succumbing to the temptation of overcrowding. That’s the case with their  latest project, The Grand Hotel Pupp, situated in the picturesque Karlovy Vary of the Czech Republic."

"I imagine Empire Omerta owner Lux Voxel to be someone who, in First Life, spends his weekends trawling through Europe’s antique markets. That’s because, bursting with an eclectic array of artworks and decor, the Empire Omerta Hotel immerses guests in a world where every nook and cranny tells a story, creating an ambiance that is pretty unique."

Unlike much of the clutter you see on the mainland, New Deer Isle offers a meticulously planned and themed coastal town experience, reminiscent of a small New England retreat."
