Orthodox Introduction threads just ask for names. Now I'm asking for your country. I have this curiosity for other people's nationalities hence I'm commencing this thread to feed it!
Ethnocentrism is greatly discouraged.
As for me, I'm from the Philippines! :D
New Zealand, the best of em all B)
New Zealand! Tell me about it! I plan to migrate there once I'm socially secured! :cool:
Well...compared to other countries ive seen in photos, movies, etc, it just seems so much better...but hey, no matter what, im biased as its my country and I love it here.
Australia near same a NZ but we've got a bigger Country and a big dick of a prime minister wat bout you Yliette
The US. :)
Australia vs New Zealand
An age old bitter rivalry :D
Anyway Yliette, ive got some photos of Auckland that were taken today, I can show those later (Taken from the top of the Sky Tower)
England. I would also like to move abroad at some point, although I have no idea where.
And I like the phrase "socially secure." I'm going to start using it frequently in conversations. :)
What COUNTRY am I from?
wales
England
UK :cool:
I hardly count NZ a rival see as though rivals are equals not Aus kicking NZ assQuote:

Not to mention your location says so.
Ireland, ya eejits. Anyone who has seen my sig should know that.
New York City! Wait!....that's not a country!? Then I demand it becomes a country *stares*:irked:
Some place you've probably never heard of. It's never on the news and never the center of attention.
I agree, NYC is awesome enough to be it's own country. NY itself is cool enough to be its own country. xDQuote:

My parents are Chinese and I think of myself as an ABC (Australian Born Chinese). I hate China but I still like to think of myself as Chinese deep down but passport-wise, I'm Australian.
Oh yea, England then.Quote:

But if you ask anyone from another country, they'll probly say the same thing. It's like that in most places. I don't think Manchester or England is that bad.
Lost Number. Get a life, what the english did to your country was tragic, but it was a long time ago. You can't hate every generation for ever, if you do then your no better than the scum that invaded Ireland all those years ago. I had to put up with that attitude from my step-dad for years, he ended up getting stabbed to death for it. Try to forgive, not everyone in England is an asshole.
I'm from England. :cool:
I like England but not the exact place where I'm situated. It has awesome people but there isn't much to do most of the time. :)

Then DONT go to england. It may be cold, but so is the rest of the british isles and ireland.Quote:

Man, I get tired of that statement. Most people can't afford to just up and move house even within their own country - it's a costly procedure. To move to another country entirely is often even more difficult, because there is not only a notable price tag attached but also a horrific amount of red tape to go through to live in many desirable places. Things like immigration limits and whatnot can make it very, very difficult to move to other countries. So as much as somone might want to move, chances are organizing, funding, and enacting it is something which would take at least a couple of years to put together, often much longer if you've got to get lucky enough to get a Green Card or whatever.Quote:

Also remember the weird Swedish letters: å, ä and ö. :D
å = [o] in "for"
ä = [a] in "man"
ö = [i] in "bird"
We also use a kind of "sighing" sound, where you fill the inner lips with air, and breathe out:
"skepp" (ship), "charm" (charm), "gest" (gesture). :cool:
Wales.
The North part that's not as Welsh as the rest of the country. :D
Canada, but I don't plan on staying here long. As soon as I get the chance I'll be Finland bound.
Awesome! Me too :DQuote:
