Anshe Chung, a member of Second Life, is now the first millionaire by playing the game. She is a Germany Chinese who set up the biggest company in the game and doing real estate in the virtual world. It's said that if you don't buy her real estate in the game, you will living in a poor and rural area. She even came back to Wuhan to set up a real company to help her to deal with the virtual business. Her success made her the cover girl of Business Weekly and Fortune.

Interesting.....but who is buying this virtual real estate???

Honestly, I find stories like this hard to believe as I have always had to work to earn money. Plus, while gambling is legal online, the gambler has to risk his/her own money to have a chance to win any. What is the "risk" of playing an online video game? Nothing, thus who would pay big bucks to reward somebody else's fancy?

Why lurk around? In China,we call "lurking' "潜水' Qian Shui". Actually, we don't like people who are always "lurk around".LOL.However, it is still a pleasure to see you jump in and get your feet wet. Just kidding. Enjoy 'your lurking around" here.
