      I was born in northern China. Very cold here. But the summer is very beautiful. There are mountains and water, the ancient people live.

      I was born in Minnesota and I only go back to see the Wild and Vikings play.  I used to love the state but after being away from a place, and you change, nothing is the same when you go back.

    I was born in Bay Shore, NY, which is a town on Long Island. I grew up near there and finally moved to the city when I was 23.

    I actually visited the hospital I was born in when I was around 10, on a class trip ... and I met the doctor who delivered me (my parents told me to ask for him), only he didn't remember me.

    Beech Grove Holler, Vinton County, Ohio, USA in an old shack that later was used for storage of hay. Yes I have been back there a few times but one needs to be wary of rattlesnakes, chiggers and ticks as well as the odd hillbilly with his gun protecting his weed.

    I was born in San Francisco and since my family still live there (and in the surrounding area) I have to visit the city if I want to visit them! It has been awhile tho since I am in London UK these days and I would love to be able to visit them in the near future. Maybe if I make enough amazon sales I can pay for the trip with that big_smile
