As for myself, I'm from Kelowna, British Columbia, on the shores of Okanagan Lake. Home of the Ogopogo. And one of the longest floating bridges in North America. But for the past few years I've been studying at the University of British Columbia here in Vancouver.

Siegen, Germany Attractions: - Siegen - the place for concrete lovers - Krombacher Brauerei (I know the beer is available in the USA, try it) - 110m tall autobahn bridge - birthplace of Peter Paul Rubens (you know, he painted those fat women) - first exhibition of another famous painter named Paul (I think I will open a separate thread for this extraordinary event) - my website

Geez... You can't even give a continent when people ask where you're from! Might as well just say "Earth"... :-)
As for me, I've lived my entire life in Webster Groves, Missouri, just outside St. Louis. And I mean just outside. The only town between Webster and the city limits is Shrewsbury, and I don't think it's much more than a mile across, if that much. :-)

I live in Wheelersburg, OH. It is on the Ohio River, two hours south of Columbus off of U.S. 23 South.
Its only claim to fame is Gene Bennett; the famous scout of the Cinncinnati Reds who brought most the Big Red Machine together. Former Ohio Speaker of the House Vern Riffe lived here all his life. That's it except a few high school state championships!

I was born in Manila, the Philippines, but I was raised and still live in New York City. For the past 3 years, I've spent part of the year living with my parents and younger brother overseas -- in 1996 and 1997 in the Philippines, and last year (and later this year) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where they currently live.

I live on a hill overlooking the "town" of Granger, Washington. I was born in a hospital a handful of miles away. I went to school in Granger. I'm going to college in Yakima, a handful of miles in the other direction. I will continue to eke out an existence here until the cold hand of eternal night touchs my shoulder, at which point my corpse will no doubt find a comfy earthen home in Zillah, which is, yes, a handful of miles away.
