Where do you live?

[DrZaius]

Just to get a geographic sense of the PC Mech population, vote for where you currently live and post a state, province, etc. and why you like it there.

For me, California USA. The weather is great! (Well, most of the time :p)

[Demosthenes]

Random. Home is where the heart is.

Wish I was in San Diego. Went to UCSD for a short while. Beautiful La Jolla, just north of San Diego proper. Currently in Pittsburgh area. Dismal place. Soon to be in the high desert northeast of Los Angeles.

Respectfully,

AUSTRALIANS love their beer cold (even us, who are under age, whoops ;-) icy cold, are more renound for having a barbie in the old stubbies, with stubbies of grog...

AND NO! KANGAROOS DONT BOUCE ABOUT FREELY IN EVERYONE'S BACK YARDS, as stereotypes depict...
Aussies are a bunch of yobbos. Although we are really smart, were yobbos.

Have a good one!

A few years ago nearly my entire family moved to Palm Springs, FL. I stayed here in Blue Springs, Missouri, which is a suburb of Independence,Missouri (Harry Truman's hometown), which is a suburb of Kansas City, MO. Wish my parents would give me their new address in Palm Springs.

You will probably not find the country in the world map. Probably need to magnified it by 100x on a microscope.

[poloktim]

One small question.


What about those in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, they don't fall into any category on the poll.
TRUST ME, I know a fair few kiwis (New Zealanders) and they would HATE to check the box marked Australia

:p Sorry, I only included some of the more common countries I've seen. If your country/region was not on the poll I would hope that you metion the location in a post.

[Paul Victorey]

Madison, WI (formerly Minnesota, just outside the Twin Cities). The northern parts of the Midwest are the greatest place on earth -- four very distinct seasons, it's rarely too hot (rarely enters the 90s during summer) and never too cold (with appropriate clothing). Summer is a great time for swimming, boating, fishing, and lazy days. Winter has ice skating, skiing, snowball fights.

[Gintaras]

I live near NYC[Long Island], but I was born and lived for 30 years in Lithuania

[highrisemech]

I have to jump in here and say one thing.
Everyone seems to love thier home.
It just goes without saying "Home is where the heart is".

[Blankman]

:D Northwest Montana... a wanna be Canadian.

[Gintaras]

Just wonder, why UK is separate from Europe in poll? Isn't UK in Europe?

Depends on who you talk to. Yes, the UK is apart of the European Union. But my friends in the UK contend they are seperate from Europe. I guess it depends on perspective.

[DrZaius]

Yeah, it is. I just wanted to see a seperate count for all the UK people since I've seen more people (on the forum) from there than any other European country.

[KR0316]

I live in Billings, Montana:cool: :p

I thought poll was depending on geographic location not depending on perspective, because then it should:
Texas be separate from US,
Quebec- separate from Canada :)

[audiyoda]

Like I said, perspective. They don't call Missouri the United State of Missouri for nothing. And God only knows I wish Ann Arbor and all of Detroit would move to Ohio.
