Lucky you, I really wish I could've stayed behind forever after my semester abroad, but unfortunately that was just not possible.

Well yeah, I agree the phrase "where are you from" tends to indicate towards the idea of where you were born or raised. After all, while I go to school in Boston, I'm certainly not a Masshole. Yet I think it's the title of this thread that can be misleading...it should probably be called "Where is everyone located?" Because while it's interesting and all to learn BDers' origins, I think it's just as nice to know where everyone currently lives, especially in case of any future BD gatherings. And as far as I know, most BDers have been listing their current locations anyway.

Heh, well you see I do not have that character on my keyboard and I'm too lazy to copy and paste. But I will go fix it just for you.

It seems so. Though unfortunately, he is no longer an active member here. But I'll add you to the list.

Another German here. Born and raised in the north-eastern corner of Bavaria, living part of my time in Tübingen, other part in a tiny village in the Hunsrück (near Mainz, a little west of the Rhine).

Right. This may seem like an odd request, but I need some advice.
Could any Downers who are, have been, or know anything about, being a university/college student in Ohio, be so kind as to send me a PM?

Oregon, USA.
St. Helens and McMinnville - depending on the month. xD

I'm not familiar with Orgegoners. Where might they be from? xD

Legend has it they were descended from Medusa.
