Where is everyone from??

[Gil-Galad]

right...

well i'm actually about an hours drive away from formen, and about 10-20 minute from Esgall....

I mean, it's warm down there. You can go out without your parka and mukluks, and not freeze. And when you go out you'll actually be able to find another person.

*Looks out the window at the snow falling rapidly from the sky as the temperature falls*

The funniest thing in the world is when people down south break out the winter jackets when the temperature hits 50 degrees.

And really, aren't we all American, inhabiting an American Barrow? Yeah... thought so.

Fea, this makes me think of my great aunt who drove her American husband mad by her longtime refusal to take US citizenship (he travelled a lot for his work even after he left the army and it was a nighmare sorting Visas). He would ask why she wouldn't become an American since half the world wanted to be American. She replied "That may well be true, but I happen to be British"


Sadly we seem to be the 51st state now though

Heh, you get that in the UK too, and the temperature differences between north and south are hardly any different. If you went for a night out in Newcastle, whatever the weather, the locals will be going about in their shirt sleeves or less, and I always laugh when I'm out and see people bundled up in ten layers of clothing when the temperature goes below 10c. Anything above that is warm to me having grown up in the coldest house in the UK.

Funny though, it rarely crosses my mind that the 'Downs is an American site, because nobody comes across as being all that different to anyone else. Do you have Barrows in the Americas? I know there is a lot of sacred rock art and I've seen pictures of earthworks, but I'd be interested to know if there are any actual barrows!

I mean we have... um.... Mounties! Yeah, we have Mounties, eh! And snow! Lots of snow! If you like snow, we have it! What's a country without snow, eh?

Seriously, if anybody in the world still thinks that we live in ice caves and can't expose any skin outside, I laugh, and laugh and laugh. I haven't seen snow since my 7th birthday. I haven't been in below zero temperatures since my last visit inside the walk in freezer where I work.

I'm always so suprised that no matter what country posters are from, I can't tell from their English where they live. Even when I find more South-East-Asia enhabited forums, they all speak the same language, with good vocabulary. Then I look at myself and wonder how crippled I'd be if the world worked on any other language but english.

Because Canada is so much better!

You're right. I wish I lived in Canada.

[Nimrodel_9]

Why would you wish you were from another country? I count myself lucky to live in the US.

Yes, I do also. It's just that people here can be complete idiots. I guess it's the same every where else though. That and some people running the country. I believe Bush is a great leader, but there are some... nevermind.
