Bob Harris Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Having too much free time on my hands lets me sometimes do nice stuff, sometimes nerdy thinking and somtimes stuff like this: This forum is one of the most familial, cozy, interactive and nicest ones I've ever been to. Besides being able to talk about our all time favorite mates and plenty of other stuff, it's nice to talk to - at least - most of it's members. And since we're from a whole bunch of different and foreign countries and cities, I'd love to get to know those places! At least via Wikipedia. So, if you want to join the MMMV Geographics™, just add - if there is one - a wiki-link to your hometown, so everybody can see. I'll start this thing up: I'm from Kassel, Germany.

Rad Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Great idea for a thread Bob. This is my hometown Romford. And this is where I live now Norwich. Maybe we should do one of those maps as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ok I'll play...

Home is (for the moment) San Diego. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I grew up a little town called Lewes and spent a sizable chunk of my life in Brighton. From the wiki: "Brighton beach has a nudist area (south of the easterly part of Kemptown)." This explains SO much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I am a proud resident of the greatest state in the union, and by extension, the world. (I'm really only being a little snarky ) Houston is my base of operations, but not where I live. Though it has an extensive highway system, so I can travel 100 miles in a trip and it's no big deal. I always feel sorry for people talking about living where the nearest town is 15 miles away and it's so far. Until you've been here, you truly have no concept of Houston's size. I'll post my hometown after out Secret Santa bit, which I suspect this is just a resource to find out our santas. BTW, any one looking for information on Texas, or even if you just like getting mail from other countries, I suggest you go to TravelTex and order the 2008 Texas Travel Guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Much of my daily life is based in Manila: I live in nearby Paranaque City and attend school in Malate. I can take public transportation and toyhunt in as far away as Quezon City (where I have relatives). I often like to hang out in Makati or Fort Bonifacio. (Yeah... I'm kind of restless ) Conveniently, we also have three of the biggest friggin' malls in the world. And to date I have completely covered the land area of two of 'em on foot. Dang mall-crazy country Edited December 16, 2008 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Totally amazing how everybody is participating in here! Nice, ladies(?) and gentlemen, really nice! I'll browse through all those places when I have some free time again. And for the idea with the world's map: that's a great idea to add! Does anyone know how to create that? I could then add it to the first post of this thread. And NorthRaider, it's really sad, that the only pic Wiki displays of your city is the one with the burning avenue! Bad Wiki!
