As Amanda says, the team members were teleported to this world-known top-notch university in no time, but actually it took me more than 24 hours to fly there, starting from here, Taipei.
Located in New Jersey, Princeton is one of best universities not only in the U.S. but in the whole world. To get into this university you not only have to be very smart, you also have to be super rich, for Princeton is also note for its ‘aristocrat’ students.
In Second Life, Princeton is only one click away, but for people living in Taiwan, it is far far away. Take myself for example, I choose United Airline and my flying route is: Taipei to Tokyo, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to New York JFK Air Port. From JFK Air Port to Princeton till needs another 3-hour-drive. Plus flight transiting and traffic jams, so what do we get here? Um… the time add up to at least 27 hours!
Virtual Reality
What are the differences between virtual and reality? The thing is even though the Second Life Princeton buildings and landscapes look just like the real one and you could click on the button which shows links to websites that introduce the campus attractions and history; it obviously doesn’t attract as much tourists as the real one does. On holidays, lots of people walking dogs, parents taking children for outing and if the weather permits, young people even barbeque or having sun tan on the green lawns. The atmosphere of Princeton is very layback yet you could still sense the abundant historic legacy upon seeing the castle and fortress like edifices. On the other hand, in Second Life Princeton, there are scarcely avatars that you could bump into, the only thing that both Second Life and the real Princeton have in common seems to be numerous hyperactive squirrels jumping around the tip of the trees and gather nuts on the ground.
Second Life enables players the opportunity to ‘fly’ around the world to discover sensational new things, new people and new places in just one click away. Nevertheless, ‘Seeing is Believing,’ if you got the chance, never stick yourself in front of computers because there is a whole lot of world to see!

Except some grammatical errors, the editor suggested the writer should delete some slight details. Besides, the reviewer suggested the writer could re-shoot the photo again until the computer runs smoothly so that readers can see the photo of the building clearly.
