Where Does Everyone really Live!!

Postby Botanic 2004 » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:01 pm

Most people just say 'Location: Under The Stairs' or something else which is obviously a joke and I'm interested to know where people acctually live feel free to talk about your country here!

If we're gonna have a thread for this, we may as well do it properly: city too, and give it a score out of 10, just because everyone loves scoring things.

People's Republic of _____, Colorado. 10/10. I love it here.

(I don't want to say the actual name of my city...the 'People's Republic' part is a joke about how liberal we are here compared to the rest of CO)

Bottom-left London, England. I give it an 8, because it's nice in most places, but it does have some ~*pineapples*~ areas.
When in doubt, castle.

Er...








<------------- Here !!!

But only during school periods. Otherwise I'm in the South of France, with my two brothers and my mum.

And... I give a 6 to Paris, coz I don't like that town very much. There's a lot to do but there's too many people.

St. Albans, England, like the profile says. It gets a big 9 for status, because it's full of rich yuppies and pushy mercedes school run mums and ~*pineapples*~ £1 million 4 bedroom houses, but a 3 for fun because there really is nothing to do. The only way to have fun in s'nalbans is drugs, unfortunately. I really would be screwed without my friends...

pushy mercedes school run mums
would those be comparable to soccer moms and their ridiculously huge suvs in the middle of suburban north america?

toronto, ontario, canada: 10/10

yes, the child poverty (relative to how great the rest of the city is) really sucks, but...
-multicultural (= awesome food)
-fairly clean for a big city (though it's tied with hamilton for dirtiest air)
-friendly people (a canadian thing apparently)
-big city-ness (musuems, theatres, galleries, nightclubs, shopping, reources, etcetera)
-second largest jewish population outside israel (good bagels apparently, someone brought it up a few days ago, and on the radio today... in the sixties/seventies, a large part of the anglophone population moved out of quebec and into ontario because the parti quebecois was elected)
-toronto parks & recreation (helps out with social services, plus other activities (my job :P), fun stuffs, recreation centres, and all sorts of stuff i don't even know about)
-moderate weather (in alberta, it snows in the summer... and it's not even on the other half of the earth)
-mixed income residential areas (there's no real "ghetto" side of toronto, because middle class and rich kids and subsidised housing are all over the place)


there's a lot of great things about toronto.


and it's home. :D


and for more toronto-promotion, we may have lost out on the 2008 olympics, but we're hosting the junior (?) world cup some time this decade.

Exactly the same, except their husband is the big shot CEO of a London venture capital firm, not the assistant manager at a hardware store.

type of car depends on husband's type of job.

soccer moms are scary.

Singapore, Singapore. :P There is only one city in this place.

8 out of 10, I think. It's the cutest place in the world. According to me. :?

Well, you don't know the personality of society here. :P

But sometimes you just don't find enough things to do.

Salem, Oregon, 5/10 there is nothing to do there

I go to college in a small town closer to Portland. I'm not going to give the name 'cause I don't want to be stalked *laughs*--seriously the town is bitty and I'd probably be easy to find.
