As I was browsing around about SL this afternoon, I came across with a title that just grabbed my atention. After reading “Explore Acores” my first thought was “are they already in SL?”. I clicked the link and after a first look (and confirming the flag), I kept reading the text as it was Acores alright until… well, until I read this sentence: “Acores is the French word for the Azores, a group of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic”. I read it again and again and over again… I just couldn’t believe it. And the Sim named after our archipelago has got nothing to do with it in RL, at all. To all of you who actually know Azores does it look like “[…] white sandy beaches, warm ocean waves […]“?
