Here we can share information about the places we're from. Now I don't mean nation, or state. I mean the town/village/city that we were born in, or live in currently. For me, they're one in the same. Good old Rockville Centre

My place of birth is a small village called Warnsveld, it is near the city of Zutphen (try to pronounce that, my fellow Eurobrickers from England and America *skull* ).

I grew up in Zutphen in the Eastern part of the Netherlands, and recently I moved to the most beautiful city of all: Amsterdam, because my university is located there.

I live with three flatmates in a very small appartment, but it's nice and cosy...

De Groeten!

Nice Idea!

I live in Sweden in a town called Gothenburg (G

Not much info on my city, but still:

A little history for those who speak danish:

note: Viborg was actually the capital of Denmark a long time ago.

I grew up in Villach before I moved to Vienna 6 years ago. Mostly because mountains everywhere got boring after 28 years... or maybe it was the job...

My family still lives in Villach and I visit once or twice a year, but not more. If I miss something it's probably watching my hometown hockey team. There's hockey in Vienna, too, but that's... different... more important now are the many toystores and three TRUs :-)

Although we're thinking of moving a bit outside of Vienna (if we find a decently priced house, that is - ha ha) there's no rush since for the past few years Vienna has been among the top 4 cities in the Worldwide Quality of Living Survey (first in the EU). So we're quite happy here at the moment *sweet*

Well, I grew up (and still live) in Rumbeke, it's a very small town close to Roeselare. It's in West-Vlaanderen (West-Flanders). It's so small, that I don't think Wikipedia even has a page about it. Anyway, since Roeselare and Rumbeke and practicly one place, here's the website of Roeselare: www.roeselare.be. We speak a nice dialect called West-Vlams (West-Flemish :-P ). That's about it, I guess :-/ . Cool topic *y* .

EDIT: Looks like there IS a page of Rumbeke and the page of Roeselare with a picture of the 'castle' of Rumbeke 8-

I live in a small village called Nijlen.

It is located in Flanders (Belgium) in the middle of nowhere, about 20km from Antwerp and 60km from Brussels.

Next year I will be building a new house in my town (currently I still live with my parants).

This is the info I found on wikipedia:

Nijlen is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The municipality comprises the towns of Bevel, Kessel and Nijlen proper. On January 1, 2006 Nijlen had a total population of 20,864. The total area is 39.09 km

[Kikuichimonji]

You can see where I live right under my picture :-D

And since I've lived there my entire life and nobody but the Dutch (and German, I suppose) users will know where that is, there's not much else to say either.

I might move out soon though since I have to travel 45 minutes daily to get to my University...

[Jipay]

My town is Nancy.

Link in wiki (for hobbes).

It's quite close to germany and I really enjoy living there. Nothing like home they say :-)

[Hobbes]

Hey, I don't mind Wikipedia, I like it. I just found it funny that SW4J mentioned (jokingly or not) that to him Wikipedia isn't a reliable source for information and then starts a thread that ends in tons of Wikipedia links :-)

I live in Brierfield, near Burnley in Lancashire. Brierfield is part of Pendle, along with assorted others such as Nelson and Colne. Its alright. I won't say brilliant because Nelson is a bit rubbish.
