My boyfriend is American and when I told him where I lived when we first started talking, he had no idea what I was talking about.
New Brunswick? Northwest Territories?

Anyway, I'm from New York City. A very uncool part of one of the more uncool outer boroughs. I'm a 3rd generation New Yorker actually. But I'm being a traitor and moving to New Jersey after I graduate college. (my boyfriend is from there and it's one of the only places within easy commuting distance of the city that still has affordable rent, yet isn't THAT bad of an area. I see how it's going though, in 5 years it will be overrun with hipsters :( )
Manitoba!
I've definitely heard of Manitoba before and I'm American.

Same here! Although the only reason I'd originally heard of Manitoba is because I'm a hockey fan.

I was born in Ontario (Canada) but that was just an accident 8-) I'm technically from northern California.

I didn't realise the population of Latvia is so small. There are tons of Latvians in Ireland :)

Yeah, we always joke that half of Latvians are in Ireland :D
I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is my second language.

I'm from Ireland. I do like it here really, all everyone does is complain and act like our lives are so hard but we really do have it pretty good compared to many places in the World.

both parent immigrated from Jamaica to good ole New Jersey, USA. Born and raised and will probably live here my whole life.

I would like to live and work in Japan for a couple of year though, probably won't happen but I can dream.

I'm from Oxford, UK. I've only lived in the UK - Oxford, Windsor and London, but I'd like to live further afield at some point.
