From Japan to SL

I rose up early on Jan. 23rd and visited UWA art event, The route from the Occident to the Orient. There was a storm in RL at the presenter’s zone and the net was not in good condition, the start was delayed more than 30 minutes, so I missed the major part of it, but anyway it seemed to be impossible to see the video with Phoenix. Instead, I took pictures of interesting avatars there. Only one of them I noticed that but please allow me to put them here.




There were many avatars with Oriental mood along with the theme. For European people, the Orient may not be China or Japan but the Middle East. Different from the era of the Silk Road, big cities with skyscrapers like Beijing or Tokyo may have lost their mysterious charm as the Far East.




The chat at the site was in German but a translator was effective. But the presentation was done in voice and the script in English was only for the starting portion, so I could not make head or tail. Incidentally I was there with German girl costume. I wondered if it was better to wear Japanese Kimono, but it might not fit the theme of the Orient.




The avatar on the top right of the above picture was a kind of mermaid I have never seen before. It was very smooth and beautiful. Was it made of Mesh?
