To all of you people from the Netherlands:
What do men from the Netherlands like? P.S. I was born in Kiev, lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for eight years, and now spend my time being bored at Duke University, which, for the ignorant, is located in Durham, North Carolina, truly a marvel of cosmopolitan development and marvelous city culture. *snort* [ February 09, 2003: Message edited by: Lush ]

I live in the state of Maine in the USA. Not much happens here, lol. I don't know anyone who likes LotR here, most of the people at school think the movies were "gay" and won't read the books. Besides that, there isn't anything to do. When I graduate from high school, I plan to go to college far, far away. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lush, surely North Carolina isn't that bad. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] By the way, I'm going to Kiev this summer - any tips? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Oh, and to stay on topic: Currently I am in College Station, Texas (WHOOP!), not so very far from Houston. (How would Durham compare to College Station? me wonders.)

I'm a native Illinoisian, born in Chicago, and still live fairly close to there, though I've traveled a bit in the meantime, mostly in Russia. Trying to get back to Eastern Europe this summer... oh, how I envy you, Lush [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] .

Hi everybody, one from Finland here! Like this country quite a bit, specially summer times. In the forests around my home (yah, I'm from the countryside) you can sense the spirit of Shire - peace and the thing called easy-living... Too bad I have to live in the city for my studies at the moment.
About 5 years ago I spent some time in Paris and fell in love so perhaps I'll meet you there one day Manardariel? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm from the wonderfully boring state of Alabama in the U.S.A. I mean, isn't Alabama the most boring state? There's nothing to do here! I wish I lived in Europe. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Like Lady Iverin, I live in Alabama, USA!
Whoo hoo! Ok, unlike Lady Iverin, I find Alabama pretty interesting but the city where we live incredibly boring. I was born in Ohio though and my mom is from Thailand (i went to visit my family there for the first time! wonderful experiance) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Why do all you Idahoians hate Idaho? I have visited there many times and I have always thought of it being a really great state. Where do you live? do you live in the south or the north, because I prefer the north to the south. It is very beautiful state. I enjoy Boise (yes, it is kind of small), Sun Valley, and Court d'Alene (sorry I think I am spelling that wrong), is it just because I am a tourist? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
I just wanted to add, that it is not like I am Miss Outdoorsperson or anything. I don't ski, hike, mountain bike, boat, or anything like that. It is just that I live in Washington State, and we motorhome, so to get basically anywhere else in the entire United States we have to go through Idaho, and I have always had a fondness for it. I just never knew that the natives dispised it so much, but I don't really live in a small town, or a place with few people, so maybe I just don't understand.

It's probably because you're a tourist. Yes, Idaho's a great place for outdoor activities, but after a while it can get old (I've lived in Idaho my entire life). There is no real entertainment in Boise for teens during winter except for the movie theater. Also, there isn't much opportunity in Idaho for someone looking for a job. I believe Idaho has one of the worst economies in the US.
But I suppose it's a great place to visit during summer if you like the outdoors.

Idaho can actually be great for outdoorsy people. And skiing is great. So is whitewater rafting, camping, wildlife, farming... but here's the catch. Boise is a really small "biggest city in the state." I mean REALLY small. The economy is going downhill when it was bad already, there are only about five colleges in Idaho, and there are very few job opportunities. Another thing is some people can't stand the cold. My friend has a condition where she's very cold-blooded, and she hates going out in the winter.
For another thing, public education is basically bad, and getting worse. Last year Gov. Kempthorne cut the budget for public schools in half. When I get to high school, I have to go halfway across town one period a day just to take Latin. There are other classes they cut out completely. They're giving more money to the prisons than they are to children. When I go to college, I'm definitely going out of state. Then there's just big dreamers. There's no showbiz in Idaho, no outstanding colleges (except maybe Albertsons). I want to expand my horizons, and I can't do it here. So there ya go. That's why I'd leave Idaho.

I'm from New Jersey (USA). Please no jokes, New Jersey is a lot better than everyone makes out.
I also spend as much time as I can in Maine. I've been lucky enough to meet lots of LoTR fans in both states.
