Where is everyone from?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ha! I know what you mean... I've tried multiple times to read the Lord of the Rings in Spanish or Catalan, but I always end up failing miserably...

Also, I've been living in Barcelona, Spain for the past two years. Sorry, Brinniel! And after all that hard work too.

Abercrombie! Nice to see you drop by.

I haven't seen you in quite a while (not that I've been present for most of the past couple of years).

I must say, I am most amused by the obvious change in location for Mac and Eomer.

Oh, and a teeny weeny edit: symestreen should be written as symestreem. Great job with this, Brinn!

I too find this fact very strange... only three people living in Germany...

Either all Germans leave to foreign countries (like Mac

) or indeed the B-d does not get so many.

When I still was a member on the LotR Plaza there was quite a large German group there.

Anyway, I am amazed to have just read that Estelyn lives in Lippstadt!

That's a bit more than one hour's drive from here... awesome!
Now we just need some more people from the region and we can organize a big B-d meeting!

Ooh, very interesting. Did you move there to study abroad, by any chance?

Thanks for the note, I never see these tiny details!

Have you ever noticed with BDer couples, it seems to be the male who moves to the female's location. How I love that.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-11-2009, 12:17 PM

Haha, yes, I started out studying abroad here and then I liked it so much that I never left!

Nice to see you too, Lhuna! I've been around, but I hardly ever have time to post. Real Life loves to get in the way of the most important things... we should do away with it.

I have been thinking a bit about this thread. . . Technicaly Abers is from the USA and Mac from Germany, they just live abroad.

Atleast I would still say "I am from Denmark" even if I moved to say Argentina.

I take that to a whole other level...I only moved about 90 miles away into the enemy territory of Yorkshire where they have only just invented fire and the wheel and I still say I am from Lancashire, which confuses people if they see my address

Soon, I hope, this aberration shall be rectified
