Funny enough, I was thinking of starting a similar post . . .

I live in Saskatchewan which is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Canada's climate. Really hot summers, really frigid winters. So I make the most of Spring which is beautifully rainy, and fall with it's fabulous colors. Those are the two seasons when I can use my wardrobe to it's fullest extent.

I was born and still live in California, USA. Weather is hot but, not like that dry heat in Arizona (my mother in-law lives there). Doesn't rain enough, if you ask me. Only draw back is the windy weather and wildfires. We've had one burning out here now for over a week. Greatful it's not near me but the smokey air still sucks.
Always plenty to do, good schools for my boys. I live in LA county, but I live in the hills in a nice small gated community. It's nice to be away from all the noise and traffic of the valley.

Living and born in Sweden, and it's good enough for me. Once traveled to Scotland for 2 weeks, and it was lovely enough for me to live there, but who knows? I do love the rain, so with that I'm fine, but I did hate the wind... worst part of the weather, but maybe that's only because the town I lived in was on a big hill by the sea... Else I loved the arcitecture, each house looked like a little castle, even now... unlike here in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, where I live, when they demolished most of the town to rebuild in the 1950's... seemed like a great plan, for the people up high, even tho half the town was out on the streets trying to stop them, and the other half trying to stop them by paperworks. Got a bit of the old town left tho...

You are partly finnish?
I have visited Sweden many times, especially Stockholm (Viking Line goes there, so I go *laughs*). I really like the old part in Stockholm, one place I am always sure to visit. For I just love those small alleys, and the architecture, and the shops.. We don't have anything like that in here, so you are lucky.

I live in Brussels, Belgium i like that.

I hail from Croatia. Now a small and poor country. Once a homeland of savage, rutheless and merciless killers.

a small church in Aechen, Germany hosts a marble tablet speaking of croats during the thirty-year war and made infamous by the annihilation of Magdeburg at the hands of croat calvary as ordered by the Count of Tilly Johann Tserclaes.

It says (in croatian I do not know the original statement.)
Boze cuvaj nas od rata, gladi, kuge i Hrvata.

(or in english)
God, save us from war, famine, pestilence and Croats.

Ever been to Sci-fi-bokhandeln? Just in the Old Town... got loads of nice books, everything you can't get in the regular store :silly: me likes it there...

Used to take the boat to Finland as well, as my family had a place there, out in the country, that was really run down but really nice. Had to sell it tho, as my grandmother died, and none of the aunts would keep it... still a bit sad.
I know a few words in finish tho! Maito, for example! :blush:
