Who here was born in another country besides the US |
|
Me, I was born in Monrovia, Liberia. I am not kidding. What generally annoys me about telling people I was born in Africa is that they often assume that I was born in South Africa because I am a white guy. My parents lived there for seven years and have home movies to prove it. My mom was attacked by a "witch doctor" because she was filming him (many tribes think that having your picture taken takes your soul). I have amazing african art and tribal masks throughout my house. Now I live in South Carolina, a far distance from Africa.

10. I was born in Germany |
|
but I left when I was six weeks old and I've never been back. I want to go, though, and hopefully I will, soon.
I was born an Army brat, but grew up an Air Force brat. I've always been an American, but I've always liked the fact that I was born somewhere else.

My parents came over here when I was about 9. I wonder how hard it would be to repatriate back to Australia if Bush wins in '04 :)

...Linz, Austria. A breathtakingly beautiful country with warm and wonderful people. Please don't judge us by one egotistical, pumped up, so-called actor!

On a military base. My parents are Americans. My dad was stationed over there when he was in the Army. I don't remember much of Germany. We moved back to the states when I was four.

16. How long did you live there? |
|
How long ago? Do you remember anything about it?
I'd be interested in hearing your memories of the political climate there...
