MY" Lively - Part IV

From Laura:


Kendo's Underwater Lounge




It was in HL's room, I believe, that i first met Kendo. He often came to the "Sno..W" room and we had great chats together, HL, Kendo, and I. He is the only Italian I ever made friends with on the Net. As I said, I generally avoid talking to Italians; most of them are really stupid - i don't know why - and as they can't speak English, they will start a conversation in Italian in spite of other people present - which is very rude I think. But Kendo was different - he was like me, he liked talking to the world. His English was "rusty" he said, meaning not very fluent, but he could make himself understood very well! He was a very cute grey-haired piggy (my first non-human online friend, now that i think of it! ), who could do a fantastic headspin if you asked him! As you can imagine from its name, the human behind Kendo is a lover of martial arts and Japanese culture, who can prepare perfect sushi for his family - and this was another very interesting topic of conversation.

His own room was born from his other love: diving. He loves going picture - hunting underwater, and in RL he has taken amazing pictures of underwater life, which I saw on his web page.



As you can see from the pictures, the room had a large screen on the floor showing a video of whales, if i remember correctly, and was a very nice place to relax at the end of the day!

I still chat with him sometimes on Windows Live. He, too, like many others, has left VR - he said it was too time consuming!

.....But the best is yet to come.... read on!
