Yes, I picked up on that; note the wink.

Where did you stay tho? Lisboa? Eu vivi dentro Brasil e Mozambique

That's why I know some.. which is exceedingly little

Nerdanel · 05-05-2008, 05:52 PM

Well.. I was born near Vaasa at the west coast of Finland, but I moved to Helsinki to study at the university: during the summers I live in Finland's southernmost city, Hanko. Not in the city really, but at a research station.. With 12 km to the nearest grocery store. Just the way I like it..

Coffeehouse · 05-05-2008, 06:26 PM

Cool

What kind of research station?

Nerdanel · 05-05-2008, 06:31 PM

A zoological station. It's in a nature reserve, protected for scientific use - people mostly do marine biology, but I'm in a group that studies social insects, mostly ants. It's a nice place to work, I get to go out to the islands almost every day.

Coffeehouse · 05-05-2008, 06:35 PM

Sounds cool, the insect world is a vast universe of zoology

And I say this as a very ignorant person on that matter

Nerdanel · 05-05-2008, 06:38 PM

Well, you got that right!

klatukatt · 05-05-2008, 06:45 PM

Seattle, WA, USA, but everyone already knows that.

So, if any of yalls plan a trip to Seattle, we have a room for poor college students to rent (or stay rent free if we like you.

)

Nerdanel · 05-06-2008, 01:16 AM

Argh! Then NIN's tour will visit the place where you live! I want to go.. X) If I had money to make it there, I would ask to rent the room for a while.

I lived in a tiny beach town, called Praia da Vagueira; it was about a half hour away from Aveiro, and 45 minutes away from Coimbra, as I recall, though it's been several years.

I just realised the four first posters in this thread all currently live in countries that begin with 'N'!

That's pretty amazing thinking how few 'N'-countries there are

Now, where are the North Korean, Nicaraguan and Nigerian members?

**Mari** · 05-06-2008, 04:16 PM

Ummm, I lived near North-Korea for a year and was caught in the "OMG they fired a nuclear missile over Japan!" thing?

Yeah? Cool! October 2006 right? I was in Beijing that week actually! The Chinese were furious

**Mari** · 05-06-2008, 04:25 PM

So were the Japanese. And the South-Koreans that lived there.

Coffeehouse · 05-06-2008, 04:29 PM

Those North Koreans.. sigh

**Mari** · 05-06-2008, 04:32 PM

Yeah, there is a thread on the subject of North-Korea somewhere. You might be interested in that?

Coffeehouse · 05-06-2008, 04:34 PM

I am but.. really I shouldn't

. Writing an essay right now, I'm supposed to focus!

Besides, the North Koreans have become kinda boring. They keep failing in delivering really dramatic news stories

**Mari** · 05-06-2008, 04:38 PM

As long as it works. They are getting supplies and concessions this way, aren't they? *shrugs*
But we shouldn't be chatting about it here and you should get to writing your paper. Shoo!

**Mari** · 05-06-2008, 04:44 PM

Aww, I'm sorry, didn't mean to chase you away! *hugs*
