| Like Éloeré I live in Australia, except that I live at the top and at the bottom of West Aus. For the school year I live in WA's capital and then for the rest of the year I live 306 kilometre's from the nearest town on a cattle station. The interesting part is I've calculated that I have 21 more plan trips before my schooling finished and at least one of them is likely to crash. |

I feel like an alien. I'm the only one who's replied that comes from the 'other' category.  lol
I come from South Africa. I live in Guateng in Pretoria in Garsfontein. It sucks here and I can't wait to go abroad when I'm old enough. I've never been to any of the other countries in the poll, just the Netherlands, France and Germany. |

I come from Australia too, Cairns, in Queensland (Great Barrier Reef). Christmas in the tropics...it gets around 35 degrees here, plus the humidity of the tropics. Cause' of the reef, we don't get any surf, just mud flats and mangroves.
I haven't been to South Australia, Éloeré, but I've been to WA, far down as Busselton. It's true, Cairns is beaut fishing and everyone here is brown skinned (which remindes me, down south I never saw one aboriginal, not even the Gold Coast). The wet seasons come around now and the electricity goes out for a couple of days, and the rivers flood over.
I have been to Europe though, I used to live in Spain when I was a kid, and if not for Spain, I'd never have seen the snow. There's no winter in the tropics, though sometimes the nights are cool enough for a blanket. |

I was born in Los Angeles, California and lived by the beach down in Long Beach. The place was just flat out gorgeous. If you've ever been there, you know exactly what I mean. It's not a place you want to leave.
But anyway, we ended up moving to Stone Mountain, Georgia--about twenty minutes outside of Atlanta where my mom is orginally from and now, we live in Lithonia, Georgia--about thirty minutes outside of Atlanta. Now, we're moving to Oxford, Georgia next week which is about forty or fifty minutes outside of Atlanta. However, when I'm grown, I'm moving to Texas or back to Long Beach. |

I'm an Aussie man! Australia is wicked! luv it! never leaving! (unless on holiday)
Hey, and Willow? yeah, well my mum was born in South Africa! she moved when, oooh, I think she was about 16 or so!
But I was born in australia! Some times I say words that Aussies don't say, not African words, just a little different!
like when aussies say 'off' they say 'of' but I say 'oof' see the difference?

Yay for resurrecting old topics!
I never quite understood the results of this poll... there are for more people from the UK than what is stated here. I can also think of at least 6 people from Australia on this site.
Anyways, the other category should be bigger now. We have members from Macedonia, Romania, Haiti, and I think two from South Africa. We may also have a member from Hong Kong. |

Well I'm from the UK. To be more specific - Cornwall (that's the pointy bit in the south west).
To bring up the old discussion that was going on I also don't find the royal family to have much purpose at all... I mean, seriously, what do they actually do?? Sorry, it just bugs me is all, though I guess tradition is a good thing and the tourism they bring... blah blah blah.
Yes, it does rain a lot here too, but it's real cold today so I'm still hopeful for snow!
Glad this topic was resurrected!  |

actually in the middle of nowhere. jk btw...
Unlike anyone here, I live in the Caribbean sea. Not in, inside. Not a pirate from the Caribbean like jack Sparrow. Not a mermaid.
I live on an Island with people that can't handle their own island. (nah haaaa they think their the best)
We are under the Netherlands. Netherlands Antilles. ABC Island... Close to Venezuela?? Island C. between A & B. Curaçao! Little nice island. Used to be only sun and moon sometimes little rain. Now I think our weather changed by surprise! More rain. Too much! I'm not just... *sneeze loudly* *coughs* *breathe* I don't like weather to change that fast, but gets bored with the same ol sun & sunny days... ha ha
My island is ruined for awhile though. (AAArgh busy, politics and referendums...) *drives me crazy* *stick my two finger for the peace sign out* w/e
uuuh-hum i think that's all. Confused? More? F Free 2 ask! 
I love my Curaçao
sending hugs from Curaçao xxx little x soldier xxx |
