Tell me about your country/culture

[Chis]

So I'm interested. How's life at where you live? Tell me about the culture, lifestyle, the good things that you like about it and the bad. Politics? Stereotypes? I'm all ears...

uhhhm?

wellllll


I live in a small town outside of boston MA. But currently Im in college in NH where it is chilly haha. Uhm very liberal place where I am now and its a good time. I like how everyone can know everyone if you really try hard enough, but there still is a lot of people in the area. It can be very cold in the wwinter tho.

 

[Blooqkazoo]

I can't tell you. The guy in school was giving a speech about Internet safety, then we watched a video where a guy almosts gets kidnapped but then, he jumps and lands on grass.

 

[Chis]

About your cournty not where you live. I live in England. You can't exactly track one down by a country.

 

[Blooqkazoo]

Or can they?

I live in the Midwest

 

[Xsyven]

I really wish Blooqkazoo would post his location so that I may drive there and **** him.



Utah is full of Mormons.

The Gold Coast is pretty cool. Great places to shop, access to Brisbane via train is easy, Beaches everywhere. All of the must-go theme parks are within half an hour of where I live (Movie World is about 2 minutes away). The Casino, Conrad Jupiters is pretty cool too.

It's expensive here though. That's my beef.
People are generally nice, but there are some terrible places in my country.

There's a misconception and a half. So many ad campaigns make us look like the friendliest place ever, and there is a lot of truth to that. There are a lot of people that are nice, that do carry the so called 'Australian' values like mateship, etc.

But there are also a lot of real a**holes too. And don't use our train system at night. You'll get bashed.

Still, if I'm going to live the rest of my life in a first world country, it's probably going to be here. Then I'm split between Japan and America.

And if not a 1st world country, I'm going to the Philipines. I love their lifestyle.

it's Pliskin! Good Dog.

Utah is full of Mormons.

So is Mesa, AZ.

Mesa was founded in January 1878 by Latter-day Saint (LDS or Mormon) pioneers and its population is still roughly one-tenth Mormon. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints operates one of its oldest temples in Mesa (the Mesa Arizona Temple).

See what I did there? That's my location. It's public information that anyone could find if they really wanted to.

I live in Alabama, which if certain people had their way would be the capital of a separate country, and the culture is considerably different even within the county (not a typo there). It's a smorgasbord of mediocrity!

Uh oh... Now somebody's gonna come over to your house and do......
Crap, what would he do?

 

[cheap_josh]

I live in northern Virginia... The place is way different than the rest of Virginia. Infact, I wouldn't even call myself Southern except for the fact I'm literally below the Mason-dixon line.

It's like an overpopulated suburbia... except with office buildings everywhere. IMO my town is overdeveloped. A few years ago there was a nice lake where you could skip rocks. Now it's surrounded by a hotel, a fitness center, and some other junks. There's construction all the time, new stuff is constantly springing up; last year we got a new shopping plaza.

I wouldn't be surpised if they started building in the medians.

But it's actually a pretty cool place. And as far as culture, people come from here from all over to get government jobs.

 

[Eor]

I live in Texas.

We mainly drive volvos and raid starbucks. Every now and then we rock out on the flutes.

 

[The Executive]

Hey, flutes are serious business. Symph metal proves it.

 

[ZeroFox]

I live in the East Coast (New Jersey). Well, currently I live in Boston since I go to school there.

New Jersey is very interesting, lots of guidos.

Boston seems more chill to be honest.

 

[derek.haines]

Starting November 25th of next month I'll be living at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas. Culture will be the last thing on my mind. Let's see, where do I go after that...

Keesler, Mississippi. Wow, not exactly the American cultural center.

 

[Rusty Shacklefurd]

I live in Canada where everyone sits on a chesterfield in an igloo made of tuques pulled by extremely polite dogs drunk on beer.

 

[Peeze]

Your only furthering stereotypes about Canucks, Rusty Sh.

I live in Florida where everyone is related and confederate flags and black people still hang from the trees.

Sounds about right. Nothing too special going on up here. Then again I am kinda oblivious to things

Awwww =/

Lol.

I would stereotypically expect that more from, say, Georgia, Alambama, Mississippi, etc.

Keesler, Mississippi. Wow, not exactly the American cultural center.

Keesler is definitely the worse of the two. At least they didn't ship you to Biloxi--oh, wait, they can't because the entire AFB is deserted. Seriously. I went down there in winter 2007 and the only people on base were at the gate. Completely abandoned after Katrina.

If perchance you ever hop over to Maxwell AFB in Montgomery it's fairly nice and Prattville (suburb 20-30min away) is booming right now. Not too shabby at all.

uhhhm?

If you go to UNH we should play smash some time.

Hi pool room.

 

[thecatinthehat]

I live on Long Island. I got into smash literally right after MLG came here. So I missed that (fail).

My nationality, I'm 100% Filipino (oxymoron).

Yup, nothing much up here except cold.. Especially now, already hitting negative temperatures, since 2 weeks ago or something. So ya nobody around where I live is into smash. Well, not that I know of. everyone is into XBox here

Replace "Mississippi" with "Alabama" and you have me.

well, what part of Texas is that?

Down here in Houston, all I see is a bunch ofcar enthusiast, seriously, all tricked out and stuff, I kind of wish I had one myself. I tend to also see alot of "vato's" such as you could find in the West Coast, particularly in LA.

 

[slave1]

i dont know if xsyven said anything but utah is like a country all of its own. i promise you if you come from out of state than you will know what i mean. but everyone here loves Lake Powell, snowboarding, sadly skiing, and barely leaving the state. yeah it is kinda strange here. woot woot.
