Where do you live and what does it look like?

[Mark]

Thanks. It's indeed high judging by the standards of a civilized country. But I wanted to give you a relief: it really can be a lot worse. Cheer up!

Thanks. I'll try to remember that when I'm changing a baby's nappy in the dark.

You know, candles are pretty cheap and they create a magical, romantic atmosphere.

I've since moved back to my home in Crystal River, Florida.

We get our share of tourists, mostly for the manatees.




Our beloved nuclear plant. (No, I don't live in Springfield.)




The beach

[Keemun]

I live in southwest Louisiana, which looks like this:

My house (I wish):




The swamp I commute through by boat:   




Oak trees (probably haunted): 




A cathedral:   0:)

 

The family dog:   



Alright, I don't actually live near a swamp or a plantation and I've never seen an alligator in my neighborhood.    But these pictures are representative of the more interesting sights here.

[Kullervo]

Keemun, that church looks ready for liftoff. As for alligators — let's just say you wouldn't want to let your dog roam around here.

My girlfriend and I have applied to rent in this gorgeous building in Jersey City, New Jersey.  (check out the view Northeast (that's the one we applied for)

New Jersey? Eww how come?

For the price of a studio in NYC, I can live in a luxury one bedroom in Jersey City, NJ.

Using that logic  you could also get a 40 acre vineyard in Argentina and live like a rich dude. What would you name your wine label?

Yeah but my girlfriend and I would need to quit our jobs and find new ones.

Yep, the apartment looks really nice but the city not so nice. Those are weird and boring structures to look at. Even though its a bigger place, the environment is a big step down. At least in my opinion. But then again, I want to retire to a life of druken grape picking as soon as I come up with a scheme to make loads of money quickly. How about a new religion?

I think we may be on different wavelengths.

I must admit George, it looks a bit scary to me as well.
But then in my own personal surroundings, the church is still the tallest building - though only just....

The important point is, does it have enough wall space for shelves 

If it is near the Path train, it will not be so much different than living in NYC anyway. The only problem would be -if you were single that is- that when you give out your phone number to the girls you meet, it would start with 201, and you would never hear from them again 

[George]

We were discussing that only a half hour after we were looking.  And yes, there is enough wall space. Certainly more than there is now.

Yes it is a one block walk to the Path and then 2 blocks to work.

So are you living with your girlfriend now...or is this when you move in and have kids and get married and all that boring grown up stuff? Don't let her use your toothbrush man! Thats just gross.

Lovely looking place George. Very central too

Glad someone supports me. 

Yes, it's also about a half mile from the boardwalk, a lovely place to stroll and see the Manhattan skyline.

I worked at the Harborside Financial Center in Jersey City for two years (1991-93, if you get my drift). The view of lower Manhattan when one walked along the docks was absolutely spectacular, and the building was close not only to the PATH train, but to the Holland Tunnel, and the pleasant town of Hoboken. I wish I had thought to take some pictures when I was there. Go for it, Geo.

Thanks. The only problem that remains for us is that we will need to sublet our old apartment for 2 - 2 1/2 months.
