Where do you live..

[Lena Steege]

Hiya, it's not really a game and not really general chat and I don't know if it's allowed. It's called:

Google Earth the place where your upper neighbour lives.

Example
Person 1: Town by the river
Person 2: Who love it, I live in Town in some strange country
Person 3: Weird place, I live in Oisdjiehjkinov And comment it. So,

let's start with me :

Amstelveen (Robyn had already searched it on google earth)

I live in the Southern part..

[Jac Shaw]

Amstelveen, The Netherlands. Too cool man. I loved the look of it. Found this on Google Earth, I mean, what's not to love?

De Poel, Stunning! Not sure it that's near to where you are, Lena, but I still thought it was gorgeous.

Well, I live in Pretoria, South Africa.

[Ellie Rook]

Is this your lovely Pretoria?

It so cool that you live in South Africa. to me, a small town USA girl, its like WOAH!

I live in the most boring, stupid-est part of Connecticut ever!
Terryville, CT, USA.

[Jac Shaw]

Hey, look at that. Pretoria Central. Busy place which actually isn't in the centre as the city keeps expanding in the most peculiar directions. I don't like there per say. I live more towards the out skirts, the less dodgy direction which is east of the CBD. But it's spread over a wide area so it looks big!!! haha! Shot alot for finding it

Whooow, Terryville is soo green! Dude, that rocks. I would love to live in a small dorpie (meaning town for those who don't know) like Terryville. Call me old fashioned but I like the community feel that I get when visiting the little dorpies around SA. But, like Pretoria, Terryville is very spread out. Makes going anywhere an adventure.

(oh, you people shouldn't allow me to say anything coz you always get essays on nothing at all ;D)

[Bijou Le Fey]

So Terryville, Connecticut, Pretoria, South Africa, and Amstelveen, The Netherlands WOW!
All those place sound much more fun then a country town.
I live in Australia close to Newcastle which is on the east coast
I'll put up a picture from Google earth for ya (sorry if it defeats the games aim)

[Jac Shaw]

Ooooo, Australia? Cool. My grand uncle and his wife immigrated there waaaaaaaaay before I was born and they're always telling me wonderful things about the scenery coz I'm totally fascinated by that stuff. haha! And close to the ocean too, even better. In any direction I go the shortest trip the the sea by road takes at least 10 hours so it's always a royal treat going to the sea side.

and Lena, I am loving this thread by the way. Totally groovy idea!

[Professor Daniel Hubbles]

Well then I shall be the first British peep to post in here hahaha!
I am from STAFFORD in Staffordshire!!!!! Which is just north of Birmingham in the west midlands of England which is part of the United Kingdom which is part of Europe which surprisingly enough is part of the WORLD!!!!!

*dies of pure amazement*

Stafford’s claim to fame is that we have a castle where Queen Elizabeth the 1st once visited, a house where Prince Rupert was almost killed during the English Civil War (the sniper was rubbish as he missed the Prince and hit the weather vane on the top of one of the many churches) and if you like random facts the voice of Bob the Builder was born in Stafford just down the street from my Mum…and erm…Ozzy Osborne lived in one of the villages outside the town (My Dad was his paper boy hehe)
Oh my how could I forget that Mr JRR Tolkien actully wrote parts of Lord of the Rings while staying locally! Oh and the Queen came last year for her 80th Birthday and had tea and cake with all the other old people in the town who were 80!!!

But yet even with all this AMAZING information which I am sure you are all loveing *rolls eyes* no one still knows where it is hahahaha...trust me many Facebook groups have been set up hahaha!

[Bijou Le Fey]

ten hours to the sea!! What about lakes or other pooling places of water? I'm a stones throw from Lake Macquarie as in I can see it over the road and the ocean is half an hour away.

ENGLAND yay i visited there a while ago and went all over.
Very wet, but still fun

[Jac Shaw]

Oh yeah, course there are, got Hartebeestport dam real close but nothing compares to being able to put your toes in that salty water and then suddenly being knocked over by the hundred or so people on the beach (that's always exciting).

O gosh, Liz, there are pictures of the castle on Google Earth. Check this one out...

How totally uber cool is that?? haha

[Bradyn Reed]

Guess I'll post for me and my hometown peeps.
though I have to say, Our place is much less glamourous than the Netherlands and England..
but if your lucky, you'll see our healthy coating of snow?


Me and Ally (doesn't know if the third person wants to be mentioned )
are all from Mokena, Illinois, USA.
Small town, but apparently it's awesome enough for Nightwish to come.

[Professor Daniel Hubbles]

awwwwwwww maaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

That makes me homesick now hahaha! I just want to run (laugh at self for even saying that word) around the battlements, have sword fights and wizard duels in the forest

Oh well Imi when you read is...and Matt...and Amy...and yes even you Gail (hahaha if you care to join in the madness) We all need to go to the castle!!!!

But it is a very nice picture hehe, good find Robz hehe!

^^^^ Looks up and sees other post!

oooo Nightwish one is very envious! They are comeing to Birmigham soon so might go and see them there....depends all on my racing though *sigh*

I thought I would leave the picture to Robyn hahaha....she seems to be good at that sort of thing hahaha....I pasted 'Mokena, Illinois, USA' into google and got pictures of body builders hahaha!

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Well, I am originally from Talihina, a very very small town in central Oklahoma, I lived in Amarillo, Texas for a year, moved back to Talihina, then when I was eleven I moved to Dumfries, VA where I continue to reside today!

[Jac Shaw]

Aww! Thanks Liz. I do enjoy the pic thing. Hmm, googling 'Mokena, Illinois, USA' does give you very buff looking dudes. The one I chose is of a kick boxer fron Illinois.

and lots of trains ... don't know what that was about but here's a nice one for you:

So that's my useless five cents and Talihina it soo cute. You just want to put it in your bag and keep it with you always! haha! It's adorable Kris.

[Bradyn Reed]

if I saw body builders just walking around in speedos
(because it's not a bodybuilder if they don't)
I'd move.. far, far away.

and I don't mean to steal your thunder but xD

This is one of the many mokena signs.


this one's not in my town, but it's our mall


and here's a cultasac

[Jac Shaw]

Heck, speedos have that effect on anyone's cool. I think that's why I never went to swimming events when I still had ickle boys in my school. (I went to an all-girl High School)

Edit by Robz: I don't mind with the pics, they're real cool.
