Tregarin Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Shall we find out? I'm from the UK myself, Yorkshire specifically... and yes, it does rain a lot!
LilDevil Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Well, I live in a little town called Calimesa in California. Very small, which in a way is cool because it tends to be quiet.
Vyrce Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Middle of nowhere in Indiana in the US. we've got lots of corn..oh and meth labs loooooots of meth labs.
liberx Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Hertfordshire, UK. Not far from the damned M25 liberx
Ragged Robin Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Originally from Bristol. Then Brighton, Basingstoke and finally Blackpool. See the pattern? Managed to miss out Birmingham along the way. So Tregarin, I'm on the other side of the Pennines to you.
Old Book Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Philadelphia, PA, USA. Lived and worked in many cities in many countries.
legit1337 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Sacramento California. Capitol city of my state so it's pretty big. (Not as big as Los Angeles though). Can definitely say I like city life and would feel so out of place in the country.
gubnillec Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. It's a cesspit some days but its MY cesspit
Searinglich Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I live in a town called Rowland Heights, and it's pretty much about the same as any other suburbian town you'd find in southern California
Guest Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Pretty cool to see where you guys are from. ^^ Not that I'm really that proud of saying this but.... I'm from SA (South-Africa) Northwest. Quite far from pretty much anything.
Guest Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Cheese! For everyone! I am from Ukraine, and so has my family since their existence. But because of the commies in Ukraine my parents and other family members got lucky and were able to leave that place for America. Other people... not so much . We moved to New England, and everything was pretty much smooth sailing from there on. Although after all these years my parents still aren't actual citizens.
Hitman69 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 The Netherlands (or Holland, as more may know it). Usually, we prefer "The Netherlands", as we also have two "Provincies" named (North - and South) Holland. It's okay over here in South Holland. People aren't too bad. However, if you compare it with Limburg, another Provincie... Suffices to say that they won't mind letting a total stranger into their house, and then say: "Oh sure, make yourselves at home." That was quite a weird experience, actually.
Long Truc Phuc Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 A small town near Brasília(capital of Brazil). Well, more like "small" between quotes, because the area around it got pretty overpopulated the last decade. There was a settlement near my town that we called "invasão"(literally "invasion", more formally "invaded place", now officially Administrative Region XXVIII or Itapoã), and now it has more people than my town ever had(100,000 against 54,902). Moreover, criminality has risen alongside the population -- my family's business here gets robbed every now and then. One of the employees here even resigned in fear of losing her life... I'd like to add something good about the place I live, like some of you guys did, but... that's kinda impossible. Except for my town being really close to the capital(only a lake separates it from Brasília), everything else is screwed up.
koocamunga Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Nowhere special, small town north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana USA
Bromm83 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Well I am from a small place north of Tromsø (Tromsoe for you international people), but I currently reside in Oslo which would be the capital of Norway. And here comes the pros and cons: pros: - It's really the largest city I could find without moving to another country... - Crime is relatively low. Apart from assault rapes that has been on the rise, and a crazy guy blowing up the centre of the city and then ran around killing youths. - Weather is relatively good. It's to the north, It will never be good on a global scale... But Oslo has very little rain compared to other parts of Norway. cons: - it's still a small city... - Getting a place to live costs an insane amount of money compared to the rest of the country. - Relatively little rain means it rains a lot...
mosmos Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 In a sparsely populated country called Finland
Ragged Robin Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 In a sparsely populated country called Finland Lucky you Mosmos. Finland the land from whence came my current favorite myth cycle, The Kalevala. I've been studying myths and legends most of my life and that wonderful collection of tales and song resonate all the way back to our earliest Indo-Eropean tales in a much purer form than any myth cycle I've ever come across. And as a s-f geek, I note that it contains is the only time paradox I've come across in my researches so far.
merctime Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Just north of Sacramento, California here, about an hours or so worth.
Guest Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I'm from TesNexus and I'm here to ban you all. It's the only way I can get an orgasm, sorry.
Dreamer102 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Originally from New Yorkshire...in the hamlet of the Bronx. Currently residing in the Mid Atlantic and not liking it.

[/quote'] Sounds like your family needs to get some "criminal enclosure devices" (walls that drop down trapping the criminals in while simultaneously protecting the business workers) You can see them everywhere in Britain/England. Employee hits a hidden button and a wall instantly shoots up from the counter or floor while locking the outer doors and dialing the police, Protecting the employee from harm and allowing them to go out the back and keeping the criminals locked in the store while waiting for police to arrive.
