From Japan to SL

The annual SL17B is now on. The theme this time might be Shopping? The image is a huge shopping mall like a big sale commemorating SL birthday. The stores inside are all huge, so the number of the shops are about two hundred, but all shops provide free gifts. At every past event of SLB, the gifts are mainly commemorative and few practical one, but this time there are many useful goods such as skins, hair, dresses, or shoes. The event is up to July 12, so do not miss it!

This is a bird’s eye view but it is impossible to cover all. This picture shows 15 SIMs, about a half of it. This time, in the main SL17B area, there is neither individual booths nor huge birthday cake, rather low-keyed festival. It was my joy to visit such booths with various innovation…




The map shows 30 SIMs used. But the shop area is only a part of them, which is about 600,000m2. The world largest shopping center is the one in China with shop area of 1,700,000m2, but that has many stories within a height of 100m and the size is 500mx400m. This one in SL has a length of 2650m, and the area is also larger than the Chinese one.
