So where ya'll from?

Hikkomijian ... this is for you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeranian_(dog)

This is the first time, when I hear this name. In my language they are called a little different (miniature Szpic [Shpic]). Besides, they weren't originally from Pomerania (even on the German side), but from Scandinavia, so it is a surprise for me.

Ah the Scandinavia influence ... that's why they are such vicious little buggers. My neighbor has one and dotes on him/her but I don't like the little brat & he/she doesn't like me either.

I'm from the island state of Tasmania, it's just south of Australia. One of the most out there and beautiful places. Love it here!

Hello & welcome. Many Irish people were 'involuntary' visitors to your beautiful island back in the 1800's ... must be an amazing place to live. Do you consider yourself an Australian?

Hello and thanks for the welcome! Well said, I know from a bit of research that my family goes back to Ireland before they came here... But to answer your question, yes I do consider myself Australian, I know that a lot of people get confused as to if we are, and is often forgotten. However Tasmania is definitely part of Australia.

Okay I live in Auckland, New Zealand. It's a big island in the southern hemisphere so...Don't get confused with Australia-I'm not an Aussie.

Maybe this: I live near where the Rugby World Cup is going to be held. Okay! ^^

Hello Ail & Welcome to the forum. As you can see I'm from Ireland & we too feel overshadowed by our larger neighbor (UK) but we beat them at cricket this week so we're feeling rather superior at the moment.
Looking forward to your posts.

Thanks Fran. I know what you mean.

Northumberland, England....although previously was a resident in the middle east for many years....be interested to see if there are any other Geordies in here!

Another New Yorker here! Lived in Minneapolis for a few years and the winters here in the Big Apple (even this one) don't even get close to the warmest in the Mill City.

Belgium. And I feel the desire to elaborate on it any further as that. It's a definite sh*t - hole.

Ah it's not that bad is it .... ll that lovely chocolate

[Rest_In_Pieces]

And that's about the one real positive thing one can say about Belgium. That's it. Well, okay, there's also fries and beer.. But you'd have to live here to truly understand. It's a madhouse, I tell you.
