The Republic of Heaven

Most people just say 'Location: Under The Stairs' or something else which is obviously a joke and I'm interested to know where people acctually live feel free to talk about your country here!

Score out of 10

I come from good ol' Britain

If we're gonna have a thread for this, we may as well do it properly: city too, and give it a score out of 10, just because everyone loves scoring things.

Bristol, UK: 4

chelsea, vermont, USo'A. 5/10.

i hate small towns.

People's Republic of _____, Colorado. 10/10. I love it here.

(I don't want to say the actual name of my city...the 'People's Republic' part is a joke about how liberal we are here compared to the rest of CO)

Sure! I vote my town 8 because it is close to London and pretty convinient

Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, UK, Europe, Earth, Milky Way - 7.

i love macc, not elegant but it's almost in the centre of the north west with everywhere close by and i really like my school and love cheshire. we have cheese and a cat, what does everywhere else have eh???

Bottom-left London, England. I give it an 8, because it's nice in most places, but it does have some ~*pineapples*~ areas.

Er...








<------------- Here !!!

But only during school periods. Otherwise I'm in the South of France, with my two brothers and my mum.

And... I give a 6 to Paris, coz I don't like that town very much. There's a lot to do but there's too many people.

St. Albans, England, like the profile says. It gets a big 9 for status, because it's full of rich yuppies and pushy mercedes school run mums and ~*pineapples*~ £1 million 4 bedroom houses, but a 3 for fun because there really is nothing to do. The only way to have fun in s'nalbans is drugs, unfortunately. I really would be screwed without my friends...

would those be comparable to soccer moms and their ridiculously huge suvs in the middle of suburban north america?

toronto, ontario, canada: 10/10

yes, the child poverty (relative to how great the rest of the city is) really sucks, but...
-multicultural (= awesome food)
-fairly clean for a big city (though it's tied with hamilton for dirtiest air)
-friendly people (a canadian thing apparently)
-big city-ness (musuems, theatres, galleries, nightclubs, shopping, reources, etcetera)
-second largest jewish population outside israel (good bagels apparently, someone brought it up a few days ago, and on the radio today... in the sixties/seventies, a large part of the anglophone population moved out of quebec and into ontario because the parti quebecois was elected)
-toronto parks & recreation (helps out with social services, plus other activities (my job ), fun stuffs, recreation centres, and all sorts of stuff i don't even know about)
-moderate weather (in alberta, it snows in the summer... and it's not even on the other half of the earth)
-mixed income residential areas (there's no real "ghetto" side of toronto, because middle class and rich kids and subsidised housing are all over the place)


there's a lot of great things about toronto.


and it's home.


and for more toronto-promotion, we may have lost out on the 2008 olympics, but we're hosting the junior (?) world cup some time this decade.

Exactly the same, except their husband is the big shot CEO of a London venture capital firm, not the assistant manager at a hardware store.

type of car depends on husband's type of job.

soccer moms are scary.

Otterton.
The Shrinking Universe.

Um, 6

Dublin, Ireland. 10 outta 10. It's the best place ever! If you have never been you must go! Sure we have areas that are dumps but what city dosn't. Seriously visit Dublin. You can all stay with me in my shack!

This has been a tourism advertisment brought to you by Snacky Smores(tm)....more smore for your money

Singapore, Singapore. There is only one city in this place.

8 out of 10, I think. It's the cutest place in the world. According to me.

I wouldnt exactly describe it as "cute," but it was pretty damned cool.

Yay!

Well, you don't know the personality of society here.

But sometimes you just don't find enough things to do.

i've never heard singapore described as cute.

Real Oxford, a tale of two cities.

Salem, Oregon, 5/10 there is nothing to do there

I go to college in a small town closer to Portland. I'm not going to give the name 'cause I don't want to be stalked *laughs*--seriously the town is bitty and I'd probably be easy to find.
