![]() Eh, it's not so bad. And we invented velcro in Canada, and had was is possibly the smallest civil war in history.
Northern British Columbia, here. I live near a humongous hydro-electric dam, and people come for miles around to pass through this town and head to Alaska. We once had people come to our town because they ehard we had the biggest potholes in the province. I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, too; there are some on pretty commonly-usedroads that are over a meter in diameter. Yeah, everyone here owns at least one truck for that reason. |

![]() I live in the northern Ontario forest in a small mining community. It isn't exactly, as they say, a cultured environment, but hey, variety is always great.

![]() Since this is about where we live now and not where we come from, I live in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. The whole downtown is from houses from the 19th century, the one I am staying now is from 1870. The town is very famous for eh, a variety of reasons that I am not aware of. But, Aberystywyth was capital of Wales in like 1100 or 1300 or something like that.
Not the most exciting town in the UK, but not bad. The local town people fall into three categories, they don't give a muck, or they like non welsh (notice I am not saying non british because...), or finaly, they are "racists" against anyone who is not welsh. So, the same as in most parts of the world I guess. I live with one guy and 8 girls in a big house. Very drafty place though. |

![]() I live in Coalbrookdale, Telford, in the UK. We invented a way to smelt iron, made ourselves the first iron bridge, and named our village after the coal, the brook and the dale, and the town after Thomas Telford, the engineer dude.
We chucked all the undesirable people over the river. They're in Brosely. We would blow up the bridges, but since one brings in the tourists, we're happy just to shoot on sight. Yes, we even chucked the chavs over there.

For reasons I can not specify, I envy you to death. But I might pay you a visit in the near future. :bleh: I live in Funchal. We invented the curve roads, there's not one straight road that lasts more than a mile in the whole island. Population nearly 200'000, but reaches 550'000 in the summer with all the tourists. Sometimes I feel like the whole island is going to sink with all their weight. We're nearer Morocco than actual Europe (or Portugal), the nearest land belongs to Spain (Canary Islands), and these islands already featured in italian navigation maps before we were officially discovered by portuguese sailors in 1419. So basically, I could be spanish, moorish or italian, but I ended up being portuguese. Just my luck... :blink: |
