BF2S Forums Do you like where you currently live?

yes, VA rox

Mankato, MN is pretty nice for a rural area.  Has everything I need and then some.  I hate big cities so it is a good fit.  Drive 5 minutes in any direction and you are in corn fields.  Heck there are still some fields right on the main roads in town.  Stubborn farmers waiting to get paid big for their land.

No. Boring town. Too long drive to work. House is built wrong. Found out some time ago that there was not built any type of oundergorund drainage system. No fucking wonder there's puddles under the house. Fucking worthless lazy ass Estonian builder Bob's.

Next place in this country I'm about to buy, I'm gonna ask these questions from the real estate agent. 1) Is any of the people, or they closest relatives, selling the house a Police officer. 2) Is any of the construction company people who have built the structure speaking Finnish with any sort of foreign dialect. 3) Does the real estate agent have any stocks or other ownership connections to the construction company that has built the structure. If to any of these questions I get any sort, or variation of the word "yes", I'm walking out.

Shepparton = boring town, but mates and family are here and they make it good.

Beaches are great.. Seista key is awsum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta_Key … Siesta_Key

Siesta Beach stretches from a site named Point of Rocks, just below the middle point of Siesta Key, north to the Siesta Village region. It might be considered Siesta Key’s premier claim to fame. From being chosen as “Best Overall” in the "1987 International Sand Contest" to being named the “Best Sand Beach in America 2008” by the Travel Channel, Siesta Key's Siesta Beach has accumulated numerous awards in recognition of its soft, clean, pure-white sand. Consistently, it is rated among the top ten beaches of Florida, the U.S., and the world.

Harvard University's geology department found the sand of Siesta Beach was 99% pure quartz. Unlike most beaches that are composed of crushed shells, rocks or lava, this sand is pure white and finer in texture than most refined sugar. The sand has been described as "dazzling" and it is stated that it never feels hot. Siesta Key's remarkable sand and the azure, warm water of its beaches are a great attraction for tourists and local beachgoers alike who come to experience the sand and the water.

Tampa has a strong Latin heritage, much like Miami. That is a good thing .
I would like to have seasons though. I know everyone thinks t-storms are like teh awesome but they can really be a pain in the ass also.

Florida's nickname is the "Sunshine State", but severe weather is a common occurrence in the state. Central Florida is known as the lightning capital of the United States, as it experiences more lightning strikes than anywhere else in the country. Florida has the highest average precipitation of any state, in large part because afternoon thunderstorms are common in most of the state from late spring until early autumn. A fair day may be interrupted with a storm, only to return to sunshine an hour or so later.

That means power outages and lots of yard work. Hurricane season started June 1st.

Overall yes, I like where I live.

Ultra, you should move to Turku. The communal politics are so fucked up, we have a sense of unified hatred towards the city council. This = Good team spirit. Also, most of the buildings down town are built on clay/mud during the 50's/60's, so they sink if they're not properly anchored to the bedrock. Yay! My apartment is conveniently built in 1957 and it's poled to bedrock by wooden poles. That's great for a fucking 10 story stone house.

I'm actually quite happy with the town I live in. There's something going on year round, especially in the summer, which is a great time to be here. The river which flows across the centre has old freight boats from ye olden days transformed into open terrace bars. Winters are harsh, not because of the temperature, but the cold sea breeze that feels like needles on your face and makes snow slush fall sideways in your face. Even if our hockey team has spawned excellent players in the past (Koivu, Koivu, Kiprusoff, etc.), they suck balls at the moment. Turku should be a bit bigger for my taste (City 175 000 people, Metro 303 000), but not by much. The medieval castle and church are landmarks that all Finns know. Awesome archipelago just minutes from the city. Proud to be from here, tbh. The town's got an identity that many Finnish cities lack, IMO.

All things considered, it's not that bad.

Not brilliant, but not bad. Enjoyed Nhulunbuy a bit more, but meh, can't have everything in life.

Wagga is good.

Are you nucking futs!??!

Like a random guy on the train said to me; Turku is just fine where it is Besides i think my ex is still living there, so no thanks Beautiful place in the summer tho.

Really? Who's your ex?

Turku is pretty fine where it is, 300km to Stockholm (damn sea in between though), 170km to Helsinki and almost as far from the Eastern border as you can possibly get.

A short, feisty brunette named Bea. She went to study something at the Turku Uni.

Where I live.

Not too much to do for social shit, though.

And there are an abundance of chavs around, but I guess they're everywhere these days...

Adelaide, great place to live.
Great weather, easy town to get around, locals don't bother you too much, the beer is cheap and the girls are brown and fizzy.

Of course there are some places I would prefer to live. But am in a nice area (no crime, no bogans) practically in the bush yet only 25 mins from the CBD of the best city in the world. The one complaint is the total lack of public transport, theres one bus service but it doesn't run when I need it... ie after 6pm on Saturdays (or 9pm weekdays) when I'm pissed and can't drive home.
