@Mudge oh, cool! i read this whole thread and managed to miss your post! And yes, on a flight from Dubai to Singapore an American man next to me asked if i'd had to take trains or busses to a country where I could catch a flight. um.
Reading the thread I feel the Dutch are over represented! Such a tiny tiny, albeit overpopulated, country and already 4 Dutchies reporting (and I know there's more lurking around).
Born and raised in Southern California, just south of LA. My home overlooks the Pacific Ocean. I've been fortunate enough to visit all but 10 states so far. Have been to Europe a few times, visited Egypt and Israel, traveled through Asia, Australia and New Zealand! Have yet to go to Africa and South America though. One day........... What I have learned is that people are pretty terrific all over this planet , that we have more in common than not, and that smiles are universally understood.
Born in Yorkshire, UK, grew up on the Isle of Wight, UK, lived a year in Germany, now live in Italy.
I haven't seen any Italians in the game or on the forums :(
This weekend...crashed in Chicago.
I grew up in the middle of Illinois.
Currently living in St. Louis, Missouri. (glad to see 2 other MO peeps)
No intentions of staying here. Saving up money and looking for a job that will get me in California.
Anyone living in California now...tell that darn state to be easier to move into.
Wow, love the world graphics here. So many cultures to infuse out lovely glitchy world with. NW girl myself. I have lived close to Porland Oregon my whole life. 2 hours to the majestic Mt Hood or, 2 hours to the ocean. :-)
