Active tourism on the planet Mars



I should have worn a mask here.

After my short visit I felt sort of sickness due to the lack of oxygen and I had strange visions of my trip



Unless it was due to this herb I chewed up without even thinking...


Know you why the robin's breast
Gleameth of a dusky red
Like the lustre mid the stars
Of the potent planet Mars?

Tourist in AW

Here are my postcards I actively send you from my current world, please help yourself.




By the way, the first one shows me in prison because I didn't say hello when I arrived.

Actually I was waiting for my avatar to rez completely and was not able to see other people, but this didn't prevent them from throwing me in jail.

As I complained, saying that it was not fair to welcome newbies like that, someone, the chief I guess, ejected me from the region and made me crash.

When I came back I was in another region and could see in the chat zone that I had been ejected, and on the following line that I was very welcome in Active Worlds.

I don't know if I will warmly recommend my pals to come and see me in this friendly place.

If you are feisty enough you can try here.

The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.

I was not inactive here

There are Active Worlds

Nothing is worse than active ignorance.
