Definitely Acropolis. This is a gorgeous sim that shows off the possiblities of virtual landscapes in a stunning fashion (no, I don't own it. Heck, I don't even have a shop there. It's just beautiful and should be in everyone's itinerary of SL places to visit). Svarga's another one of the same ilk. Peaceful, beautiful landscapes.... Diana Allandale (in-world) Acropolis. Definitely Acropolis.

Not really about SL but more about myself. I've always considered myself an early adopter and even dismiss those who don't want to put up a FaceBook or MySpace profile (for fears that "stalkers" will find them) as being "irrational." And here I was feeling the same way and not even knowing it until after the fact. Like your response to my post, one of my commenters gave me some advice that really made sense and something I will definitely keep in mind the next time I go there. "I can understand your initial response considering your ’sheltered life’ experiences. Though ‘virtual’, Second Life is a big world - for that you need a broader and open mind. Virtual doesn’t necessarily mean not real. Try again - try longer - try without expectations - you may get to like it." No expectations and open mind. And suggestions will definitely help too.
