Newbie Still (3 hours)

Downloaded new viewer (that’s going to make life easier!?).  Returned to Waterhead point.  Again, there were quite a few avatars present – more gathered around, enjoying each other’s company, but without the same level of conversation as last time.  Chilled dance music playing. Took some photos for posterity.  Hung with a strange bunch.  Conversation started flowing when an obnoxious teenager arrived - 'French Tophat'.  He was quite vulgar.  Begging the question as to whether I should have challenged his behaviour or not.  (Perhaps I should next time).  Still showing my inexperience, probably not ready to be out in public yet.  Teleported back home to Korea (help island).  Had a conversation with a newbie, ‘Aqua Moonwinder’.  I asked to be her friend, but she refused.  The duality between the real and the virtual fluctuates. People are cautious or curious about the person behind the avatar.  I heard many people talking about this Saturday night as if they were actually out 'drinking' and socializing.
