      Oh, Well I've never met a New Zealander, what's it like down there?

      • MePLUR

        Beautiful country, lots of outdoorsy things to do. Just a little cold at the moment since it's the middle of winter.

        • Sabokhusky
          +3

          Sounds heavenly right now - the beautiful country and winter! I'm in the Pacific Northwest (Washington state) and we are experiencing very, very, very hot and dry weather right now, ugh! New Zealand is at the top of my list of places I'd like to visit some day.

          • MePLUR
            +3

            It's not the cheapest travel destination, but it's worth it; especially the South Island.

            I'm one of the weird ones that actually prefers the cold weather, so I'm quite enjoying the cold snap we're experiencing at the moment :)

      Sunny may be overstating it a little today. But other than that, Hi there fellow Brit!

      • Odd

        Oh for sure, I'm glad it's back to the status quo, grey skies and rain. The sun was getting a bit much. Hi there!

        • CuppaMatt

          I'm from the North too, I'm never quite sure what to do when the burning sky ball comes out. I don't....... trust it.

        Hey there! Weather can't make it's mind up here in the Midlands - Rain then heavy rain then sunshine and now I've got sunshine and a nice strong wind, which looks to be bringing more rain. Got to love this English weather!

        • stitches

          Really am enjoying how stereotypically you're all discussing the weather....feel right at home.

            Haha too right. Can't have a meet up of Brits without a moan about the weather!

    I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan and lived there for the first few years of my life. That's where my family's from. We're Russian, and when my father's father enlisted in the military, my family was relocated from St. Petersburg to Kazakhstan, back when it was all still the U.S.S.R.

    My father won the green card lottery, so my family immigrated to the United States. Now we live in Washington state in the Greater Seattle Area.

      My great grandparents were from Czechoslovakia.

      Edit:

      I made a family tree

      Edit2:

      I made a better family tree

      • atropos148

        Nice tree, dude :D Didi your grandparents run away to Canada?

        • RedditExodus
          +2

          Sorry, that might have been misleading...

          Maybe this one will more clearly show that my grandmother was an American (I am convinced my sister will marry a foreigner to carry on the tradition). As for my grandfather... I assume that is the case, but I don't really know much about any of them other than there origin (my parents are very old so I only ever knew the one grandmother and that was only till I was about six years old).

      • UpAndRunning

        In the capital: Bucharest. Although, if you ever want to visit Romania, I'd recommend you visit the countryside; the view is simply beautiful.

          :) Nice of you. I was asking because I wanted to know if we came from the same area.

              @bogdan -

              Iași? Bacău? Yes, I still speak romanian a bit with my mother, but only with her. What about you? Are you living in US? Canada? Still remember a bit of your native language?
