Yes and I was only once outside of my country of origin- for a week or so.

by **Aethelstania** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:53 pm

Yes I do and only moved this year, albeit slightly to the north of my country of origin (England). I am well traveled and would like to live somewhere more exotic for a year or so but I don't think I could live anywere else.

I was born in Romania in 1992, but I moved to the UK in 1996 as an asylum seeker with my mother. I'm more or less integrated with UK culture, but I don't think of myself as English at all, or, really Romanian, either.

My biggest issue is answering 'where are you from?', I tend to answer 'England' and just hope the conversation doesn't continue because I know very little about England - even during school, it was a private school so I was confined within boarding, little access to TV and so I'm just oblivious to a lot of stuff.

I then don't want to get into the whole conversation of where I've lived, which might be of interest to a first-time listener, but is utterly boring for me.

Alas, in living in an overseas culture, the most common question is 'where are you from?' - additionally, my accent is very hard to pick up since it's reasonably 'international' so it's even more common a question for me.

Oh, ho. We've got a live one here!

Question: Did you previously live in an area of Czechoslovakia not currently party of the Czech Republic?

Yes, I have always lived in the area what is now the Czech Republic butback than it was a another nation which means I really did not change my residence. XD

Hmm, well...

I was born in Dallas, Texas, and live in Dallas, Texas. I've been as far east as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(I didn't live there, just went on a three-week long group trip to the UK and the Rep. of Ireland) and as far west as San Francisco, California.

Nope.

Born in Canada, lived in Michigan since 2007 or so.

by **Safed** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:00 am

Yeah, but I've moved from Suffolk (rural) to London (capital)

I've also spent a lot of time abroad, in particular Spain and France, went to Virginia but that was in '93 and I don't remember it as I was about 1. Caribbean, Mauritius and also Russia, Turkey. I like travelling and whilst I would like to spend more time abroad, realistically I won't for a while (damn you student debt and another 5 years of uni) but I think I will live in England the rest of my life, as other places I'd like to visit but not live.
