I live in New Zealand. I have lived all over New Zealand for my life (long as it is lol). New Zealand is a beautiful place, lots of greenery, lots of happy friendly people .... and of course lots of sheep!! I am currently for the last two years been sick and in and out of hospital and in a wheelchair so I don't get to town often to do my telegraphic transfers to neteller to play online, nor do I get out of the house often now to go to casinos etc. That makes me sad, I just did neteller transfer last week only to be told it may be holed up in a bank in New York deciding whether they send the funds to neteller, or send it back to me as unsendable. That makes me really sad. I don't know what I will do if I can't do my bingo and casinos online.

New Zealand has 3 islands, north island, south island and stewart island. Bet you thought I was going to say middle island, but actually the South Island is the middle island. I live in a small town of about 6000 people in the Bay of Plenty which is in the middle of the North Island. I am married (5 year anniversary yesterday). New Zealand is also the first country to see daylight of the new days with the time zones etc. So we saw the first millenium (well I didn't, I was still asleep lol)

A great place to live and visit.

Your country - New Zealand - is SO beautiful. My friend visited there couple years back and totally fell in love and wants to return one day

Everyone ... who live "up North" enough to get plenty of snow I feel your "pain"

OR joy of having it. Personally I hate winters. Here in Finland winters mean too much snow, WAYYYYYYYYYYY too cold & dark and last too long - from November - March. Well there might be snow left at places still in beginning of May - atleast in Finland's Lapland where people can easily down hill ski till mid May!

I often wonder - especially when it's -20C or colder - WHY on earth did my forefathers settled in a place like this???
Still, I love my home country (atleast when it's spring & summer

). I've lived here all my life, but moving somewhere with atleast a bit better weather conditions I am seriously beginning to consider

Have a good weekend everyone

Hei ergopro!

Terveisiä Tampesteriin

Laitan tähän vähän juttua Tampereesta ja pari kuvaa.
Mä olen syntynyt siellä

... and in English

My country fellow ergopro is from the city I was born - Tampere.
Here's something about this great city in South-West of Finland

TAMPERE

Tampere’s city centre is surrounded by lake and ridge scenery, sited on an isthmus between lakes Pyhäjärvi and Näsijärvi. The Tammerkoski rapids run through the city.
Tampere is the third largest city in Finland and the largest inland centre in the Nordic countries. Currently there are over 200,000 inhabitants.

NÄSINNEULA

Come up to the roof of the nordic countries

When you take the lift up to the top of Näsinneula, you have the opportunity to see the view from the highest observation tower in the Nordic countries. At the same time, you can acquaint yourself with the most famous symbol of Tampere.
From the observation spot or the rotating restaurant, you will see a fantastic panorama of the city centre.

In the other words - fantastic city - more down to earth than Helsinki

Hi, this is Tab and I know that I am not technicaly a CC member, but I wanted to do this anyway. I hope that you guys don't mind.

Let's see, I currently live in Winona, MN which is in the U.S.A, and I have lived her for about 12 years. We get lots of snow and it sucks bad. Before I lived here I have lived in many places. I have lived in Mt. Pleasent South Carolina, Bartlesville Oklahoma(my home and the one place that i really miss and love), Mechanicsville Maryland, San Diego California, Guam for about a month, Washington, Pennsylvania, and a few other places too. All of these places with the exception of Guam are in the U.S.A. My parents were in the navy so in the short two years of my life that they were married my brother and myself were moved all over the place. I am sure that there are places that I have lived that I do not even remember being. But the one place that I really want to be is my home state of OKlahoma. That is where I spent the other majority of my life. I love the weather and the atmosphere there and the people there are such wonderful warm and very caring people.

Hi ergopro

You're welcome ...

I love Tampere - spend first 19 years of my life in there and around the city (Häme/Pirkanmaa province - Valkeakoski, Viiala, Virrat and Urjala from where I moved to Helsinki).

My dad lives in Lempäälä, so every time I visit him I stop by Tampere, because I take train from Helsinki to Tampere ...

Love the city - espesially during summer. It's really beautiful ...

IF I don't live somewhere - outbroads - in few years time ... I'll seriously concider moving back there.

PISPALANHARJU

Just imagine this place ... own lovely wooden house on a side of a ridge facing huge lake - GREAT view

Yeah ... keep on dreaming - maybe after a win lottery - I tell to myself way too often LOL

Located at the heart of one of Finland's many lake labyrinths and founded around the rapids that connect Lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, Tampere is surrounded by clear expanses of water and verdant forest.
Nature is nearby everywhere in the city: you can catch a trout in the rapids just 30 metres away from the main street and find a great swimming beach just a little further away. In summer, thousands of passengers enjoy
cruises passing through idyllic lakeland scenery. In winter, skaters, skiers and ice-fishermen occupy the frozen lakes, while sauna-batherstake a dip in holes bored through the ice.

LOL - KRRRRRRRRRRAZY Finns ... LOL ...

Take care and happy "pikkujoulunaikaa" LOL

Hi everyone,

I'm a mother of 4 sons. From Louisiana but now live in Ohio. This household is pretty safe unless Ohio State plays LSU in a bowl game.

wow...very interesting...enjoyed reading them muchly!

For me, I live in "Sunset Country" as it is so called. A very very small city of approx 12,000 people in Northwestern Ontario Canada. The scenery is fantastic if you like the bush and wildlife.

The summers average about 30-36 celcius which is approx 86-97 fahr. The winters can get dang cold dipping as low as -40 celcius and can get to -50 and colder with the windchill factor. That is about -40 to -58 fehr

The country is beautiful up here with more lakes for awesome fishing that you can imagine. Much wildlife like moose and deer etc roaming in your yards. And yes..even ughhh bears sometimes.

Camping, fishing and hunting are a major sport around here. During the summer it is quite breathtaking to sit outside and watch the aurora borealis (northern lights for those that don't know) dancing across the starlit skies in magnificent luminous colors of green, blue, yellow, red and orange. It is quite a sight to behold. The sun at sunset glowing so closely to earth in a bright orange or firey red.
Gosh makes me lonesome for my camper..lol

Anyways...I could go on and on but I think you get the picture.
