[RANT]I'm afraid Dragongirl that the use of the term Australasia is a crutch generated by a Continent-centric culture which is too Lazy/Ignorant/Stupid to recognize that the world is not conviniently divided into Continental groupings.

The plethora of Pacific Islands is NOT part of some continous Australasian continent and as they cover 1/5 of the Earths surface (eg the area of the society islands alone is bigger than the whole of continental Europe!) they at least deserve recognition as a distinct area - and the term 'South Pacific Islands' is reasonable in this context - even if a few of them (like the Nation of Hawaii:)) are in the Northern Hemisphere) [/RANT]

So anyway I chose the 'Some place I forgot' option - I'm from Aotearoa/New Zealand which is the southern most of the South Pacific Islands
 

Born in Grand forks

Grew Up in Normal IL

I lived in Grenoble, France for half a year when I was 13.

I lived in Ulsan, South Korea for a year.

I lived in Vladimir, Russia for several years

Now I live in Moscow, Russia. I moved there in 1997.
 

Small log cabin, Coyote Canyon, New Mexico, USA.

It just hit me how many people on a different continent I feel close to, in a non-geographic sense. I mean, there's some guy in France, a place I only know from pictures and words, who put together a morphing avatar for me (which I haven't used yet, sorry Horacio).

It's like having penpals without the stamp costs.
 


I am from the Netherlands as well, but I've been living in the UK since september. I'll be back in my beatiful and very, very flat country on June the 30th though. Probably for the rest of my life - I like it there. Though I hate the fact that most women there are taller than I am, which is not the case here. (I am 1m74, or approx 5'10")
