What is the scenery that a person who started SL will see at the first time? I tried to see it by creating a new account. This is the outside of the Welcome HUB where I entered SL at the start.

The initial world consists of nine SIMs, the center of it is the Welcome HUB. Around that, there are Linden home, shopping area, music studio, movie theater, game center, or casino.
There is video guidance regarding SL operation, step by step, that is very understandable, also good for restudy. For the transportation, you can teleport or with the guided air car. The cannons on the right are shooting you directly to the designated spot. For the first time, it might be good to use the air car on the left for guiding whole area.
Different from the old ones, the residential area or the street with casino were elaborately finished. At the casino, you can buy chips and also fee ones are provided. Regretfully the chip cannot be cashed to L$.
The arrival area was clouded more than expected. Almost all of them were newcomers, except a few mentors.
Maybe because the initial avatar was selected appropriately, they could end up with the same ones. This person is total stranger to me.
The initial avatars can be selected now. Click “Avatar”, “Complete Avatar” (for FS, “Choose an Avatar”), then more than 50 avatars will be available. They seem not to be mesh, but different from the old ones, they are somewhat cool. The faces are almost identical but they can be edited easily. I came to the usual meeting area, and someone said, “Temi became a bit sexier”. Does it mean that I am so poor usually?
