I know we're a pretty diverse bunch here, but I'd like to know exactly how many countries are represented in the 100lb. club and since I'm always on the lookout for a new travel destination, a little bit about your "home".
Since I'm in a demographic state of mind, I might follow this up with a poll of our ages...or perhaps the number of times you have sex in a month!
I'm a proud Canadian (British born) from Ontario. I live in a great town on the shores of Lake Ontario about 1/2hr. (by commuter train, about 2hrs. by rush-hour traffic) from downtown Toronto, which boasts the CN Tower (tallest freestanding structure in the world), Casa Loma, The Royal Ontario Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario, beautiful High Park, Skydome, Air Canada Centre, the Maple Leafs (hockey), Blue Jays (baseball) and Argonauts (football). Toronto is a clean and friendly city with a great transit system, lots of attractions (the Canadian National Exhibition is the largest of its type in the world) and offers trendy nightlife spots along with family excursions such as a ferryboat ride to "the Islands" for a picnic and amusement rides.
Ach! I consider myself from Australia and England, what's a girl to do, so I put Australia, but I feel more English now, in some ways.
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania, and spent most of my adult life in Launceston, Tasmania until I moved to England at the age of 30. I love it here, and have a great life here despite everything being more expensive, and missing my family.
I've always lived in the US and haven't even had the opportunity to visit any other countries. I would LOVE to travel--even just further west within the US! I was born and raised in Connecticut, went to college in southern Pennsylvania for 3.5 years, lived with my sister in Virginia Beach for a year, and now I live in Northern Virginia (DC area) and have been here since early November. Of course, DC has plenty to offer: historical landmarks, national monuments, museums up the wazoo, the Smithsonian--including the National Zoo, plenty of clubs and bars, the Nationals (baseball--yes, I know, they were originally from Canada, but they're doing much better here! ), etc. Of course, it is also one of the WORST places in America as far as traffic goes, so we don't venture into the city too often (I live outside of the city, and it can take me 1.5 hours to get to work from my apartment if I go in for a normal time--and it's only 12 miles! That's why I work at 6am ). As you can see, though, I'm an East Coast Kid, but I'll hopefully get to see a little more of the world as I get older and time and money allow
Born and raised in Toronto Canada (the best city in the world!!) I now live in Green Bay, WI - who have the, hands down, best football fans ANYWHERE. These people are insane!! Until you visit you would not believe it. They live and breath football here! Everything changes to work around our football schedule. (last year that included church services for the town)
Green Bay is a 2 hour drive north of Milwaukee and has a population of only 102,000. http://www.packercountry.com/
Born in West Virginia... That's right, and I have all my teeth too! lol I've actually lived in Pennsylvania all of my life 1-23 in the most western part and from 23 to present, I'm in Central/Eastern PA. I love it here! I'll ALWAYS be a Pittsburgh sports fan-- no matter where I live! I like these "geting to know you" threads. Great idea Jill!
I'm trying to think of other interesting things about PA-- Philly has some cool things to look at and the night life is pretty ripe here. Other than that, I like living in a country setting away from the hustle and bustle. Oh and I see tons of horse and buggies around. We have some of the BEST home cooking and produce around! I guess we have all types here, a melting pot if you will!
Born in Kentucky (with all my teeth like Gretchen LOL), raised in Indiana, but now live in Florida with my handsome partner. BUT--no matter where I am, I will always be a Colts fan!!
I'm another Canuck and live about the same distance from Toronto as Jillegal but I'm to the south west. I live in Hamilton, Ontario. It is a nice city, it has a lot of the ammenties of a large city like TO but the traffics isn't as bad! We have a football team, AHL hockey team, lots of cultural things (museums etc) and a royal botanical garden which is pretty spectatular.
Born and still living in Montreal, Canada ( i will not start a political debate here, but in my heart i feel more Québécois) Happy Canada day for those who feel more canadian
Montreal is a city where you can feel European and American at the same time,due to our French roots. It is a big city of course, but with lots of green space, parks.....Similar to NYC, Montreal has very distinctive neighborhoods. Plateau Mont-Royal, where i live, was compared a lots of times to Greenwich village. We also have a "chinatown" little Italy, and the old Montreal really makes you feel like you were in an old European city.
The odd side of Montreal however, is circulating in the city. Pavement is in very poor conditions, and montrealers are quite "European" in their driving habits, meaning, foot to the floor!
Wow! How cool is this! I'm in Texas. I've lived here all my life except for my first 5 years of marriage I lived in Alabama. I've never even been out of the south, much less visited any other countries. I's love to though. I have a big dream to visit New York and California someday. I've always wanted to see the John Wayne footprints that Lucy and Ethel stole that time! I love seeing where everyone is from and hearing about those places. It makes me dream!
I was born in Toronto but lived in or near Montreal all my life. I haven't traveled much except driving to Florida 3 times with 5, 6, or 7 kids so I know frenchie is right about the drivers and pot holes lol.
I'm from Canada as well! I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and my family moved out to BC when I was 14. We were living in the interior, in a tiny town called Nelson. I moved out to the Lower mainland for college and stayed... and now I live in Coquitlam. The lower mainland is split up into a bunch of "smaller" cities, Vancouver itself is pretty small area-wise.

Try Texas high school football. That is where the the real fanatics are!!
OT - Where in the world are you??
). As you can see, though, I'm an East Coast Kid, but I'll hopefully get to see a little more of the world as I get older and time and money allow
