What country are you from?

Fairygdmther · 05-25-2005, 08:48 AM

What country are you from and where do you live now if that's different?

We have so many people on this English-speaking forum that are from other countries - I think it would be interesting to see which countries are best represented here. For instance - look how many are here from Finland! Great!

I'm from Boston, Massachusetts, USA - 4 yrs ago moved to Sarasota, Florida.

Oh well, I am one of those from Finland...

I'm from Minnesota and I'm still in Minnesota. But I don't have that accent, but I DO go to a Norwegian school and am going to Norway on Monday on choir tour. Norge mit norge so sover du tyst.

Germany. As you can see on the left though, *points* I am currently beyond the Pattern of Reality. Mostly at the Shore of Wonder. I just love the stars.

I lived in South Africa for nine years of my life, though, and my heart resides in Manchester, UK, so let's just pretend I never revealed my mothertongue

England or as the football hooligans say: "In-ger-lund".

American by birth, Southern by the grace of God.
I was born and raised in North central Alabama, in the Southeastern US. Except for the three years I was in Savannah, Georgia, I've lived here all my life.

Mexico, or more especifically, in the north of Mexico, the border with Texas is around a couple of hours from here.

Close enough to go almost every weekend to the US, but not close enough to have all the problems of the border

I live on the South Coast of the little country that used to rule the world - the United Kingdom

Kolzig · 05-25-2005, 10:24 AM

From the West Coast of Finland. A town called Vaasa. 60000 people live here. At least 25% of them speak swedish more than finnish, damn.

I'm from Alkmaar, Netherlands where I grew up and lived for 18 years, although I spent my summers in the forests of southern Sweden...

For the last three years I've been studying in Middlesbrough, UK.

squarejawhero · 05-25-2005, 11:19 AM

I live in London.

That isn't as good as it sounds.

I can imagine it to be pretty costly. Though it would be nice to be close to the British Museum, and it's library in the middle (and the Egyptian Collection! *tries not to drool on the Stone of Rosette, but fails miserably* )

From Birmingham, England (lived there for 30 years over two spells). Also lived in South Africa for 4 1/2 years and now live in Munich, Germany, which has been my home now for 3 1/2 years.

Next stop maybe New Zealand sometime in the future, a place where both Megs and I would like to live .................
