    Following on from WiB's thread below - where are you from, and where are you currently living / working? Perhaps this will help with some travel / CPian get-together ideas :cool: I'll start: I'm South African, from the Mpumalanga Lowveld (think Kruger Park, Blyde River Canyon) and am currently living in England on the outskirts of London, while working in Kent.

Hard to tell you in typing, but Mpumalanga means "Place of the rising sun", and Lowveld just means it's at the bottom of the escarpment, tapering out towards the sea (although we lose any potential coastline to Mocambique in our province).

                    I've been living in South Carolina for about 11 years now, I've lived in Connecticut and NY prior to that. I'm just over 2 metres tall, love long walks on the beach, and romantic candlelight dinners. .... I work in Spartanburg,Sc. Which is sort of like Greenville's blue collar cousin.

                          Nice town. I spent a day and night there about 2 years ago. I took a tour through the Semperoper, and walked through Residenzschloss (I think). It is right next to the Opera house. I wish I had more time to see more. BW "In a world full of people, only some want to fly,Isn't that crazy?" - Seal

Moved here when I became suicidal - I hate loud noises, and wanted some time to change my mind.

                                  I've been to the Louisville Airport on the way to/from Ft. Knox. Can't see much from there except some theme park. What is it? They won't let us off the base since 9/11. Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

Perhaps this will help with some travel / CPian get-together ideas :cool: I'll start: I'm South African, from the Mpumalanga Lowveld (think Kruger Park, Blyde River Canyon) and am currently living in England on the outskirts of London, while working in Kent.

                                      Canadian; lived and traveled (travelled?) all over South East Asia as a kid; now finishing off university in Waterloo (near Toronto and the CP servers :-D) and have had co-op jobs in most of the major cities in Canada.

                                        This is probably a bit late, but to my defence, I ws sleeping when you posted this ;) I'm born in Penang, a small island state in Malaysia. I moved to Kuala Lumpur( or fondly known as KL) when I was 9 and I've been here ever since. HAven't been to anywhere yet, though I do plan to one day travel the world.:)
