Not my house, but you can see how much dry brush we have with these photos (all these are southern california wildfires):

See, where I live looks a lot like this so we have, what? Tornado problems? No one really cares about firework in the slightest.

[soignee]

hmm. I live in fairy land.

And this is how it looks where I live. People don't give a toss about fireworks, as long as they do pretty lights.

Edit: Sadly enough, there is almost only pike in that lake.

I live in development central. My first day of kindergarten, my bus driver got lost amidst all the cornfields everywhere. Now, a mere twelve and a half years later, everything's paved over and if you want to find nature, you'd best go to the arboretum.

This is where I live, in Winter:




Main problems high winds and heavy rains, occasional snow.

But in summer:



You could fart and set the hillside on fire. Yet people here go mad with fireworks all summer, chuking them left and right like candy. A few wildfires last year, needless to say.

I used to live in London, and miss it. Don't miss the cost though. I won't spam london pics, you all know what that looks like...

I fail geography forever so I had to google it, but I really like the golden building in the center-ish, though I'm not sure what it is.

I may live in the suburbs but I  Chicago more...

You know, I've actually never played WoW. Am I missing out on anything?

Hmm, well, with 11m worldwide players, and I think 3 or 4 European players, I guess someone has something right somewhere.
It's addictive, but after levelling up a char for the 7th time, 1-80, a bit monotonous. There are 8 races, soon to be 10, 6 classes and a huge world to investigate. You can either play 'solo' ie not join a guild or you can join a guild and make a whole pile of friends although it is a little tough starting new now, to find a Guild that'll help you - a lot of guilds are looking for experienced players who know what they are doing.
Bear in mind, there is the main vanilla game, plus 2 expansions, and one on its way soon, so a fair bit of outlay although the vanilla and the expansions are now reduced in price.
There is lots of account hacking, unfortunately. People buy power levelling, which is against the rules, and that leads to them becoming hacked later on by the same company, who also farm gold to sell to players (again, against the rules, both farming and buying the gold) - from what I've read/noticed, getting hacked is now more common than not getting hacked. I guess some of these anti-virus software makers are rubbing their hands together in glee!.

Speaking of which, Costin_Razvan - you can get your char back, plus all equip - just email them, and they'll help you. Unless ofc, your account was being shared and the original owner took it back, in which case, don't bother. They don't like that at all.

It's not spamming, we're sharing our cultures.

This is where I live. I like to say I am modest about my house.

That's the Umayyad Mosque, built by the Umayyad Caliph Al Walid II. One of the oldest and biggest mosques.

One of the oldest cities in the world continuously inhabited.

I've always wanted to check out those ruins in Palmyra.

I thought it might be a mosque but I wasn't sure. It certainly seems like its held up well over time.

And soignee, I just thought of another reason our Wardens wouldn't get along...mine would probably ****** her off waxing nostalgic about how amazing Orzammar is and how much she wants to go back all the time. But, you know, its a very nice place to live for a princess...

Living in a forest is the antithesis of culture. And I don't happen to like the culture that exists close to me very much.

KoP, I can't even imagine what the traffic must be like.

Yeahhhhhhhhh. Know how that one goes. But around here it's mostly yuppy mummy's and their families and farmers.  Only the rich can afford the countryside now.
