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

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

Local patriotism is a habit hard to die... and can be taken even further than that sample above

my movement to my lady's place after the marriage took at most two miles of journeying off my previous place of residence, merely into different district of the same town, and still 4 years thence I find myself naming the name of my 'original' district when asked about my whereabouts

Hmph, now everybody will think Mac is American, and therefore, that I have no taste in men.

(Kidding, kidding, nothing wrong with American men. Also, American kezboards are the best - I wish I was tzping on one now.)

Well, actually I am from the Island of Amager only a few kilometers away from Frederiksberg and when you tell people that, they look at you like you are from another planet.

Of course Amager does not have the best reputation and is known as "The **** Island"

**** = Rose? soul? love? mist?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-13-2009, 02:58 PM

Oh is that word not allowed. . . ehm lets call it The Rubbish Island then.

I'm guessing it's the last one.

Hey I'm from Croatia. You had a discussion about it some three years ago, right? Is Amrod the Hunter still the only Croat here?
