Poll #57: Where in the world do you live?

[Shaun]

I don't think we've done this one before, so here we go. If your country is not listed, please use other and tell us what country you're from. It's nice to see were everyone is in the world on YWO.

Anywho! I'm from the U.S. Most of you know that. Specifically California, though that will be changing to another state in about 4 months or so.

[Bowie20049]

A lotta U.S. of God bless A people. We stand for freedom, liberty, apple pie, freedom, democracy, grandma, and freedom. Did I mention freedom? Oh what the hell, it's worth mentioning again.

We also believe in modern-day imperialism. You see, it's not barbaric because we added in the "modern-day" in it.

[Lykaios]

UK . . . It's wet and we believe in stuff.

[Diocletian]

Alpha Centauri.

[eriko]

In India we only believe in reproducing.:mellow: Afterall children are gift of Gods. (Damn I hate this.)

But anyways I am from New Delhi. For those of you who are not aware of the place, it is capital of India.

[littledreamer!]

USA. Though i kinda wish i wasn't. we're always the big bully of the world and get a bad rep.

[jcsk88]

Singapore. Small island in South-East Asia. Maybe you've never heard of it. Now you have. :)

Singapore! Land of the scary pirates with holes in their sails! :sparrow:

[Shaun]

You guys from Singapore need to select "other" so we know on the poll :P.

We help spread Imper...erm...democracy and liberty! But seriously, we are just awesome. Not right now, but usually we are awesome

[Mercy]

I'm from the US of A, Tennessee. :)
It could be better, but I like it. It's my home, after all.

[jordanisonfire]

UK...sadly.

[Majyk]

I'm in the U.S.A.

[Elvenscholar]

Canada! Whooo! Summer has finally hit us and it is nice!
I hate snow, in case you were wondering.
But Canada's alright. Steven Harper's a tool, but the rest of us are fairly sane.

[Nyrihaz]

Well, it seems I'm the only one (for now--at least in this pool) from the Caribe. My island is Puerto Rico, La Isla del Encanto, or so they say. Nice island, and we are lucky people, compared to other islands... maybe it doesn't have the best reputation... only the bad news about us travel the whole world, sadly :(

Oh well,
Adios

[Shaun]

Hey Nyrihaz, I'm afraid most of the Caribbean doesn't have a great reputation with the rest of the world, except the more touristy places. It's unfortunate, because many of the islands have unique histories and beautiful landscapes, plus there are some cool people out there.

[Gabby]

Canada eh? ;)

[Jaz]

UK. The most boring place to ever exist.

Yep, is a sad thing. There is a lot of interesting things many bad things cover up. Either way, I'm glad I live where I live. One day I'm gonna be the best writer from this island ;) We have to dream, right?

[Shaun]

A lot of great writers have come from the Caribbean. So, you could certainly join their ranks.

[sXe_Jinxeh]

I'm a Canadian girl, through and through.

:D

I'm as Canadian as politeness and igloos. :O

And screw you, Elven, our summer started two days ago and I think it's about to leave us again! *Beats Josh Classen into a coma*

[Melo]

The U.S., Windy city, Illinois

[Nanyoky]

Minnesota, US. Here, we believe in wearin shorts when it's -30, swimmin in what most would consider mud, sayin our 'o's too long and not pronouncin the 'g's at the end of 'ing's. oh- and trying to sell Texas to China to stimulate the economy and foreign relations, but shh! don't tell the South.
(sorry if there's anyone from the south reading this ^_^;)

[Midnight-Spring]

I live in the Philippines--a Southeast Asian country.

[Andrea Marilyn]

India, we have a great past with remarkable traditions. We believe in hard work.Hoping to top the world by 2020!

[Writing_for_a_life]

Greece , in particular Athens (the Capital), we have a great and ancient history and culture (we are precisely very proud for that) .We love holidays and summer , our beautiful Mediterranean beaches and of course partying and enjoying our life.:D:DWe are smart but we sometimes forget to use our minds. It’s a really beautiful country but many of us forget that fact too:(

[Im-All-For-Believing]

I'm from Ireland. So red hair, green clothes, leprechaun's and all that. And alcohol. And pale skin. And lots of rain. (Except that I have brown hair, own very few green items of clothing, I don't drink, and I've never seen a leprechaun in my life!) Although the pale skin and rain part is pretty darn accurate. :P

[Jack]

United Kingdom :P

[Im-All-For-Believing]

United Kingdom :P

Oh, you're from the UK? Wow, we're practically neighbours! :P

[Jack]

I guess so.

As expected, it seems I'm the only Singaporean on the site.

Smallest Province in Canada.

[Heartstop.]

USA
West Coast
Central/Southern California
Lots of cotton, oranges, smelly cows, potatoes, and amazing Mexican food ;)

[miss_smiley]

Australia... where it's winter for maybe two weeks. :P

[Im-All-For-Believing]

Aww wow Australia? :O

Sorry; it's not that it's all that shocking, just I have a mild obsession with that entire continent and have many plans to travel around it! ^^

[gunjankushwaha]

"Australia... where it's winter for maybe two weeks."

I am in love with the land down under, it is simply awesome. I got a golden opportunity to visit your country last year, and fell in love with it all over again. Australia is my favourite country but only after my mysterious and passionate India. :)

[gunjankushwaha]

In India we only believe in reproducing.:mellow: Afterall children are gift of Gods. (Damn I hate this.)

But anyways I am from New Delhi. For those of you who are not aware of the place, it is capital of India.


I am highly disappointed, you seem to be the only person critisizing your country in an international forum, where everyone has praises for theirs and most importantly, respect.

India is much more than just poplulation growth, but for that we need an open prospective and I am sure many will agree with me.

I'm also from Puerto Rico. And though I agree with mostly the bad news getting out, great talent is also made here. And I hope you don't mind a tie for best writer from the island. ;)

[Little Demon]

OK, so a lot of you live in the US. By show of hands, how many of you live in the state capital? Or ever visited, those how haven't... wana trade places? Theres nothing but cows around here. Lousy Wyoming :glare:

[Riley]

I'm in Canada, where we (according to Americans in my class) believe in hockey, maple syrup, snow, "eh", strong beer, igloos, wear toques and boots and have very pristine, woodsy scenery.

I actually have met two Americans who moved to Canada a week before, and they came to school looking so surprised. Granted, one of the Americans used to live in California so the cold was... well, cold. The other American was from New York, I think.

To set the record straight...
I like hockey and that's the most popular sport in my school -- off the top of my head, I can name about 17 guys that play hockey and 9 teams.
I don't mind maple syrup.
I'm in Winter--oops, Winnipeg and we get to -30'C in January/February. During that time, we get a hell of a lot of snow, but the guys still walk to a 7/11 for a Slurpee... everyday!
Most people say "eh" without realizing it.
I've had beer before (I'm 13) and wine, and it's not that strong.
I've only been in an igloo during Outdoor Education.
What's wrong with toques?!?!?!?
I like boots. They keep your toes from freezing off.
The only "wood" near me is the Dalhousie Forest, which is about 100m by 100m of thin trees.

I just had to say that.

[Zachura]

Seems there's not too many Scandinavians on here, eh?
Well, I'm from Norway, with our beautiful fjords... and our barbarian viking history. :P

[Klon.]

I appear to be the only New Zealander here. That's a shame.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your sentiments. Actually I was felling kind of silly when I wrote it and I laughed over myself for writing it down. Everybody knows what India is and what it isn't.

Basically, population growth in India is also a boon for our country, because of the ever increasing consumer market, we are the highest consumers in the world. And because of this, Indian economy is highly dependent on the local market unlike the Chinese which draws most of the income from foreign exchange, and that is the resaon why we stayed afloat during the recession and were better than China, which went through a major lose due to America's crashing stoke exchange.

See, this is so cool.

[Clawfire]

I wandered here from Latvia. It is one of the 3 countries near the Baltic Sea. Near us is Russia and Scandinavia.

[Kalculator]

I appear to be the only New Zealander here. That's a shame.

Hey! I'm a kiwi too! New Zealand, a small island in the Pacific which no one cares about. I heard some people ask if it's in Auz.

Green plants, native birds and sheep. I live in the big super city of Auckland, next to Maungakeikei, One Tree Hill.

[lalodragon]

Seems we have mostly Americans here. Including me. Never been outside the country, but I've lived in four states inside it, if that helps. <_<

[Winter]

UK. Damp and cold.

[bookworm]

Poland (Easten Europe). Hills, forest, and not much else.
I'm half English though and I'd love to love to live in the UK, but sadly it's not for me to decide :)
