So, where are you from?

[Maria]

I've been wondering where people are from and decided to do a somewhat more detailed study. I know we have a lot of Americans, quite a few Europeans, and a few Asians. But where in those places are you from? If you just want to post your country (or state) that's fine, you can choose to be as detailed as you like. And if you feel like it maybe you would want to add one thing about why I should visit your home country/city.

 

I'm from Trondheim, Norway's third largest city. For everyone who's read/seen the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy it may interest you to know that I live about half a mile away from an award-winning fjord ;)

I live in Liverpool, in England! And you should visit 'cause we have so much to do! Tonnes of museums, art galleries, and great theatre and gigs to go to! Liverpool is home to the Beatles, you know that 60's pop group :P And is also home to tonnes of other great things! Not so good points include Liverpool being the a major participator in the slave trade :( Ohh and the Titanic set sail from here!

 

Also if any of you are interested in Wicca, you may of heard of Gerald Gardner? Well he was born about 10 minutes away from me *swells with pride* And Chery Blair, the Prime Ministers wife was born where i live too :D And the best ever football club in the whole world is here, Liverpool Football Club *cheers*

 

Anyway Liverpool is a boss city to visit and live in

and everyone should come and visit!!

I live in Roswell, Georgia, United States. It's medium sized town about a half hour away from Atlanta. I live about a block away from the Chattahoochee River.

[Zardi]

I live in Texas, USA. You shouldn't waste your time and money visiting here, to be honest. I like my city, but it's not much of a tourist attraction, except for very specific times of the year.

[Harmony]

Kentucky, USA. I'm in love with it, despite it also being Hicktown, USA. lol. I went up to Michigan over the summer with a friend, and all her relatives made fun of my accent. (It's really not that bad...I don't think...lol)

I'm from Umeå, the biggest city in the north of Sweden.

 

There's no reason to come here really :P Though the place where I grew up, in a village about 30 minutes north of Umeå, the last battle on Swedish territory took place in 1809. That's kinda interesting.
