Thread: Where are you all from?????
<< [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]ok, you seem to be quite an insider concerning football, and now I have to confess that I don't really know very much about austrian football (or football in general...)and I never before heard about the one you named... he died young? why?
And no one will ever forget that The Sound of Music (Edelweiss, Edelweiss..) takes place in Austria.
Not to mention, The Third Man.
I'm from a place where German tv series used to be quite abundant : Derrick, Tatort, Ein Fall für Zwei, Der Schwarzwaldklinik,...
Now though, they're all replaced by French series like Le rouge et le noir, Les misérables, Madame Bovary,... and old British sitcoms like Dad's Army, Fawlty Towers, Allo Allo.

I believe that is true, for I spent a mid-July week in near Glasgow an only saw the Sun once. I live near Seattle where we tell the tourists that it always rains, but the weather isn't bad if you can live with four months of wet windy November every winter. July, August, and September are warm with little rain and no excessive humidity, or bugs. Normal snow is a couple of inches once or twice a year which is gone after a week or two. In forty years I think I've only see snow as deep as a foot maybe three times. I suppose this will all go the way of the dodo bird, what with global warming and all. im from glasgow in scotland and it always rains
Liverpool, England.
I assume the above mystery noob is Jago. 
We must get Grep to fix this. 
We must get Grep to fix this. I'm from Romania, Europe.
You've probably heard about the country of count Dracula... That's Romania, although in reality it ressembles more to the Shire from Middle Earth and to the Misty Mountains.
Here you never get bored...

Vermont, USA. Its nickname is the Green Mountain State. (Explored by the French hence "vert" = green and "mont" = mountain). I will often close a reply with
Away from the Green Hill Country
It's very Tolkienesque (part of The Shire). I paraphrased (OK, and borrowed) from Hildifons who would close with "Away from Tookborough" (as you may find Hildifons in the Took genealogy).
Soooo . . .

I didn't know this thread even existed. Facinating to read where everyone is from: UK, Netherlands, Germany, Asia, Australia.. etc.. Tolkien has a following pretty much everywhere!
Personally I'm a Canadian at heart that has lived all over this planet (a nod to the Aussies - thanks for letting me crash at your place for a couple of years
).

I live in Minnesota, USA. Just on the northwestern edge of bluff country, east of the plains. Beautiful country!!
My mom has been to Europe, spent some time in Norway when she was about 18.

i'm from Markham, Ontario, in Canada. for those of you who don't know where Markham is, it's just North of Toronto.
I'm from a nice little town near the sea called Volos in Greece.
I am from Serbia. In Srem(region in serbia),(i believe that this will be interesting to people from developed areas of the world) there is a village with telephony on pulse dialing. I live in this village. 1 liter gasoline is 2 american dollars, but 1 liter of finest 30-year old scotch is 100$. Average monthly payment in Serbia is 200$. Many people,my neighboors dont know how to write. Now the sadest part. That same people earns for life working on crop fields with bare hands.Just like slaves for maximum fee of 12$ without any meal or food,they work on temperatures above 35 celsius degrees below clear sky. It is not easy being a serb. I and everybody in radius 15 miles drink ale. It is cheaper than water. We don't have drinking water. Only good thing is great possibility to avoid taxes.(which are very small,by the way.)
Very interesting, Prowler. Definitely much different than where I am (San Francisco, California). I always wanted to go to Serbia. I hear it is absolutely beautiful there. Let's see...the only thing I know about Serbia, well...hmmm...I dated a Serbian soccer player named Milos for a little while in college, does that count as knowing anything? 
I'm from South Africa, near Cape Town. I'd love to visit Europe some time though (I'm half British, but have never been there).

Do you by any chance speak Afrikaans? I myself speak Dutch and have had the pleasure to speak with some ppl who speak Afrikaans, and we understood each other very well.
Being in a bragging mood, I have to tell you, that there's also more than a Swede from Scandinavia. I am a Norwegian, growing up in the Western part of our marvellous country, but now living a little town on the southern coast. We call it the pearl of the coastcities in Southern Norway. 
I'm from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. (Goddamned country)

Kristiansand?
Congrats' Vir, you got had the capital-letter K.
Kristiansand may be the mother-of-pearl city for what is worth. Kragerø is situated between Oslo and Kristiansand. A small coastal city with 10.000 inhabitants in winter, but "blowing up" to more than 40.000 any summer.

That's not exactly small, maybe in comparison to some of the mega-cities, but still.
I live about twenty miles northeast of Rochester, which, home to both IBM and Mayo Clinic, has a population of over 80,000. The town I live in has something around 1000, at most.

Hello~ I'm in a small town in rural Colorado, USA. Its very cowboy-ish here and reminds me of Rohan because there're so many horses. I'm really happy to be part of a site with people from so many countries; husband and I have travelled some, to England and Germany, but hope to see a lot more of the world eventually.
Greetings all, I'm from a small town in the very old and beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina in the USA. It is a good place to raise children and enjoy the landscape; very remnicent of Middle Earth. Lots of small farms and gardens. Flowers everywhere and hundreds of thousands of trees as much of our county is a national forest.
I am from Belgium..near Brussels

I'm from England...The West Midlands to be exact...which is very cold and frosty at the moment!!
I wish it would snow in England every year... Usually sleet but very rarely snow... Looks like another year of unused wellies
