From Japan to SL

I noticed that the Tempura Island was included in an article, “Top 10 popular SIMs”, so I visited the listed ones. Since the article was three years ago, five out of ten were impossible to visit now. This is the second one, London. That is different from the London SIM that I visited before where my first crush had a shop.




What they had in common was heaviness. This London was gray for a while.




This is one of the ten. It seems that there is nothing special but there are many visitors. What is a popular SIM? Could be beautiful, gathering many people, games, or some special setting? The second one, many people could be either the cause or the result. The Yakitori shop Kikyou that had more than 800 group members and 10 to 20 companies every day had nothing than “people”. There should be something at Tempura that keeps so many guests for six years.



Special setting could be shop, event, membership club, RPG, or nudist beach etc. I read an article, 70% of SL players tend to stay at one place and do not walk around. A blunderer like me might be minority…
