Old North State on the North American continent; although I've been to South America (just once) & to Europe (numerous times) -  :D

BTW - we've had this kind of poll before, and there's always one or two members from Antartica, one shown below - assume a 'wireless' internet connection?  ;D

A part from the brainy quote, I live in Europe and had never left it but for other european countries. I'm at ease here, I'm not fond of travelling and most of all I'm afraid of flying so my range of action tightens.

George - looks like 'one' of us is missing a left leg (of course, unless he's kneeling?) - but when I get back to work @ the WFU Med Ctr on Monday, I'll check for a prosthesis - but you guys need to let me know who needs one!  ;D

It's hard to figure if the creature is about to jump on her, or if 'it' just finished its business... But I guess the intact bathing suit suggests the former  ::)

North America. 

Specifically, I was born in Chicago in 1942, reared in Elmhurst, IL, a western suburb of Chicago, moved back to the city after graduating from college (Missouri), and lived there until Feb, 2002, when I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I live now.

I love this quote which is from the 1931 film "Dracula" and was spoken by Bela Lugosi (who played Count Dracula). The scene in the film is when Count Dracula is attending a concert with Mina and her father. Dracula says "To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious." Mina then says "Why Count Dracula?" to which he answers "There are far worse things awaiting man than death."

London.

It feels like continents.

Everybody from everywhere seems to be here.

Even in my borough High Street (London is divided into 33 Boroughs) I hear Eastern European, African, Asian (Indian sub-continent and China).

The other day I walked past a group demonstrating outside the Civic Centre. I took a leaflet which was about human rights abuses in Sri Lanka.

I went into a local Chinese restaurant on a weekday evening and it was packed...with Chinese. Good advert! ;D
