I was kinda wondering where everyone is from?

I'll start with me. Norway. I forgive you for not knowing where it is

(Northern Europe/Scandinavia.. go check a map

)

**Mari** · 05-03-2008, 07:44 PM

Me! Me! Pick me! I know where it is! Forgive the Shrek reference, I couldn't resist

I'm from the Netherlands. As practically everyone here is well aware...

For the geographical location... if you have found Norway on the map, check a little below. That tiny little country is my country. To the left is the UK, below us is Belgium and below that France. To the right is Germany.
We really are very central.

Curufin · 05-03-2008, 08:16 PM

Well, I'm American, but right now I'm in Northern Ireland.

Find the UK, and keep going West.

I'm in Derry, which is almost all the way West, on the far north coast, on the River Foyle.

BeardofPants · 05-04-2008, 01:10 AM

New Zealand. If you don't know where that is by now...

Willow Oran · 05-04-2008, 02:06 AM

Seattle. City of perpetual cloud cover... If you can't find it, that's why.

Grey_Wolf · 05-04-2008, 07:19 AM

Helsingborg, NW Scania. Bearing the slogan "Here the Continent (that is Europe) starts). The rest of Sweden is just an add-on.

FREE SCANIA from the usurping northerners!!

GrayMouser · 05-04-2008, 08:51 AM

I'm from Vancouver, B.C., though I haven't lived there for over twenty years.

Now, a (permanent) resident of Taidong, a small town on the east coast of Taiwan- looking out my window, nothing but thousands of miles of blue Pacific till you hit Mexico.

Coffeehouse · 05-04-2008, 09:40 AM

Cool

I hope more people 'turn themselves in' to where they're from, currently live

Speaking of Taiwan, GreyMouser, I'm writing about Chinese-Taiwanese relations in one of my papers as we speak

Grey_Wolf · 05-04-2008, 01:37 PM

Born in Missouri (middle of the US), lived in Colorado (a wee to the west), in Russia, and in Portugal; currently living in Californee.

Coffeehouse · 05-04-2008, 01:59 PM

Muito bom! Falas portuguese?

U lived all over then

katya · 05-04-2008, 02:55 PM

I move around an obscene amount from house to house but I've pretty much always lived in Michigan. Was in Japan for a year though. Planning on hopefully moving to North Carolina in June.

Coffeehouse · 05-04-2008, 04:08 PM

North Carolina. Showdown on Tuesday I guess

Um pouco.

I read it better than I speak it; still occasionally read a Portuguese news source or blog to keep up on it, but it's sooo easy to forget how to speak once you're out of the area.

***Varnafindë*** · 05-05-2008, 02:49 PM

Another Norwegian!
I live in Oslo - Norway's capital and largest city, with more than half a million inhabitants.

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-05-2008, 02:53 PM

You two don't know each other? Since you'd started posting within a few days, and were both from Norway, I assumed you were outside companions. But I guess not. Quite a coincidence!

Coffeehouse · 05-05-2008, 02:58 PM

Hehe ya well, one of us stalking the other

I guess alot of Norwegians have a natural affinity for what Middle Earth represents as so much of our history, culture, language and nature is all over the works of Tolkien. F.ex. the Vestfold and the Eastfold are two provinces in modern-day Norway just to name a superficial example

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-05-2008, 04:16 PM

Aha, he confesses! Guess we won't need to call in Grand Inquisitor Hector after all.
