Don't ask me - I really have no idea, because basically all the time I spend in New Jersey, I was bored. But still, good memories... (and I could see the Empire State Building from my bedroom window, which always temporarily made me forget I was in a suburb).

I think this is entirely neccercery.

This website enables us to veiw a map (using Google Map or something like that) that has little pointy things that allow you to see where different forum members are if they wish to disclose this.
So, add yourselves and we can have a little collection.

you are absolutely correct Hoobill, how did we ever live without?

(The map only has one part of copenhagen and it is not the one i live in)

That's the thing about these mapping programs. America and England are really detailed, but it seems that they regard the rest of the world as a barren wasteland. Why don't they just write "Here there be Dragons" and be done with it?

The website keeps claiming that the major town I live in - con Airport, mind you - doesn't exist. So I tried a few nearby cities. They don't exist. So I tried London. It doesn't exist. So I tried England, which isn't a city anyway, before getting frustrated and deciding to try again later.

Other than that, jolly good show.

Try "London, England (United Kingdom)" A list should appear as you type anyway.

Ah, it was merely a question of disabling my firewall.

Great Hookbill! I was second Downer on the map

And yeah, the people not living in USA or England seem forgotten. But I'm used to it. I'm impressed my town was even there! Usually Sweden is just that land in the Alps that makes great chocolat and watches. Or is that Switzerland? Well, who cares anyway...
