Where in the world...

I must suck at geography. Lately I've been getting blog visits from people from countries I've never heard of. Granted, it's been a few years since college, but I didn't think I'd forgotten the existence of the greater part of the world...

I want to learn about where you live.

Give me an international site to visit.

That's great to know everything that we've never heard before. By the way I don't know exactly where do you come from, but I have visited your blog, there are good pictures. I'm from Indonesia, nice to get you here.

I'm originally from small-town Oregon, spent most of my adult life in Silicon Valley, California, and have lived in Cape Town, South Africa for the past five years. There are lots of pictures and posts about South Africa and the differences between SA and the USA on my blog, A View from the Other Side: sweetvioletsa.blogspot.com/. Don't think "jungle" and loincloth-draped natives, think freeways and safaris, nightclubs and wildlife preserves, water-skiing and crocodiles, surfing and shark nets, luxury B&Bs in the wine country and hardscrabble poverty...lots of strange juxtapositions here!

  There are a lot of Filipinos in Silicon Valley, many in my neighbourhood and where I worked. A really friendly, personable bunch of people...and GREAT food! At company pot lucks you could always find me hanging around the chicken adobo and the lumpia!

  thanks TJ...it has been nearly ten years now and I've remarried and moved halfway around the globe.
  
  I am with you on the winter weather...pass! South African winters are cold and wet, but never icy or snowbound (although we do occasionally get hail).
  
  I've never been to Pine Bluff, but my former MIL said it was a lovely small town when she lived there (1945!) and the surrounding countryside was beautiful.

we're in a little village just outside Derby, Derbyshire, UK. Derby is very close to Nottingham (of robin hood fame) so usually it's easier to say to foreign visitors that i come from nottingham (although i don't).

We have the lovely peak district national park on our doorstep and i've written about a few of our more recent summer holiday excursions over at our photo gifts blog.

Nice to meet you all.

I am Prime Minister of a small office in Baghdad. I call it Matovia. We pride ourselves in our abundant natural resourses (xerox paper, thumbtacks and rubberbands). Our mortal enemy is the IT guy across the hall. Matovia often attacks his country (Technanistan) because it is a rude, arogant country that must be destroyed.

Lived all over the US - influences are from the small towns I've lived in (Broken Arrow Oklahoma, Munds Michigan, Salida Colorado and others.) to the place I've always called home Phoenix (metro area *Chandler*), Arizona.

It's so awesome to meet people from around the world. The Internet makes our planet much smaller...
