The Roaring Twenties: Berlin1920

Berlin1920 is  a very special place in Second Life. Berlin was the same as now in the twenties, an exciting world cultural center. But there were huge differences between rich and poor. But overall, there was a strong economic boom by borrowing from U.S. banks which were found in 1929 an abrupt end by the world economic crisis. That was one of the main reasons for the rise of the Nazis. Should you see any parallels to the present, that's for sure a chance;)

An exciting time that offers much food for RP. But here it is not played, here it is lived. Jo Yardley, a Dutch woman, lives RL in clothing and objects of the times. Without the slightest compromise, she has created a Berlin that down to the smallest detail is true to the original. It is also uncompromising to visitors that do not look fit. They find themselves very quickly back home. In the landing area there are freebie clothes and hair. And also the height of the avatar should be changed to normal size. Otherwise it is too big in the rooms. But the sim offers you an authentic Berlin where residents really live in. The apartments are all occupied. Every night at 2 PM SLT is Happy Hour at "Der Keller", where people meet to chat and dance. Visitors are always welcome and will be included. It is spoken in English with German interjections. And there is another almost daily events can be found here, for more information please visit: http://www.1920sberlin.com/
And here is a nice movie: http://www.youtube.com/user/1920sberlinproject#p/c/9A5E9BD9C244A363/0/wTNenTOQ54U
Too bad that Berlin is known by that few Germans. I hope I could make you curious:) It's worth it!
