   haha yeah we all gotta start from somewhere though don't we mate?
   That island off the coast off australia seems like as good as place as any!
   I'm counting myself lucky, my parents were going to move to south africa, So yeah being this isolated in the land of the long white cloud suits me fine

   Does seeing every other continent make you appreciate where you come from more?
   what part of the world had the most impact on you and why?

   Well - No, LOL
   
   The US had the most impact I guess. It is HUGE. But - I live in France now. I appreciate different things that different places have to offer. I am lucky enough to be able to speak several languages and have the ability to get along with just about any one - or clash with them in a way that resolves things
   
   But I sure would like to see the New Zealand Fjords in real life. The Norwegian ones are pretty impressive, but I have only seen them in the winter, and I hate the cold.

   I guess living in a country that only takes a matter of hours to get from one side to the other makes comprehending how big the US is pretty hard, but i would like to experience that.
   France sounds like an interesting place to be in, my cousin works over there in some diplomatic circles translating english to french and vice versa.
   I'm in the oil business here so i'm hoping that it will allow me to extend my horizons a bit in the near future. Although I have not learned any other languages! Your making me feel ignorant,hahaha

    I spent a Year in the US on a Harley - Drove across the plains. Amazing - like a sea of wheat. Nothing like it in Europe. Except maybe the Russian tundra. Misha ?

    Northern Idaho here! I was imported from a cow town in Colorado. Born and raised in a cow town in California (which don't really exist anymore).
