F^4 - What Country/Region do GOTM players hail from?

[cracker]

Let us know what country or region of the World that you are from if you currently are playing or in the recent past have played the GOTM?

Apologies in advance if I missed any specific country or region. please pick the nearest answer that would get us close to you on the globe.

Feel free to post a description of where you live in the world and/or a small picture of something you see near where you live or work almost every day.

Tumeke Poneke, Aotearoa. Proud to be grouped with our pals in PNG!

No pictures, but every day I wake up and see a crumbling warehouse (lived in, of course) that is marked for destruction to make way for a grassy knoll at the side of a central city motorway bypass. At least there are several pubs only two minutes walk from here

I'm from Belgium, the Dutch speaking part at that.

PS: Never posted before, but you gotta start someplace!

Norway.

Central United States (Wisconsin).

Don't know of anyone else close to me that play GOTM, except Moonsinger from Iowa, who I kind of consider my neighbor since she is in the state right next to me, and I'm only about 45 miles from the Iowa border.

Netherlands....
IIRC there's quite a few Dutch players in the GOTM....

 

[Kemal]

...of which I'm also one.

Netherlands.

And another.

I live in Utrecht. Founded by the Romans (who called it Trajectum because it's on the Rhine river). It has an mature University that has about the same age as the US of A...
It is near the 'Utrechtse heuvelrug' which is a row of hills that where formed by the glaciers in the last Ice-age, hence my location.

France - bien sûr

Southern England.

The weather's beautiful, with cloudless blue skies, it's 10:00am and the temperature is already getting up, and there'll be a barbecue tonight.

The view from where I was a couple of weeks ago, and would like to be today - just down the road.

La France, bien sûr ! I've lived 22 years in Paris' close suburbs, but this year I've been studying in Bordeaux, south-west of France, near the Atlantic coast, a city worldwidely known for its red wine...

Here is a pic found on the Internet of La Grande Arche de la Défense, near my home. It's a monument / business building that has been erected in 1989 for the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. It's located closer to Paris too, in fact it extends the "historical axe" that includes Le Louvre (huge museum), La Concorde (Egyptian obelisk there), L'avenue des Champs-Elysées (no comment...), L'Arc de Triomphe (built under Napoleon)...

I chose this place because I used to travel through there each day to go to the university (in Versailles, do you know this town ? ) when I was still studying in Paris. I don't quite like this place though because it's too modern, in fact what you can see is an esplanade (there is no "ground"). On the right of the pic you can see a building inside of which there is a store : that's where I bought Civ3 + PTW among other things.

- end of report !

Erm, can I vote twice?
At the moment I'm doing a PhD in Cambridge, England, but I'm really from Brisbane, Australia.
Guess I'll just have to tick UK for now.
