Title: What country are you from?
Post by: phantom1412 on October 06, 2011, 04:05:24 AM
As the topic said, I would like to know where are you guys from?
I know most of people here are USA.
But How about Europe? How about Asia?

Starting from me.
I'm Thai, but I live in Japan.

Northern Ireland.  I think... stupid borders and land-mass politics is all screwed up here, I don't know if it's really a country or what it should be called.  We're in the UK, anyway.  I'm in Carrickfergus, that's for sure; look it up on google maps and you can see where I am.

British Columbia, Canada for me! Just starting to get into the winter feeling around this area, and really looking forward to it. Kelowna, the town where I live, is perfectly situated 45 minutes from one of the best ski resorts in Canada and possibly North America, but also is situated on a huge lake that is awesome for beaches and water sports in the summer. I love the varying range of weather we can get in the Okanagan, part of BC. temperature ranges from 40+ degrees on hot summer days to -50 on the coldest days at the ski resort ( Celsius of course ).

Ever heard of a town called Larne?  It's near where I live and I think it must be the opposite.  Here's an artist's impression;

Close enough. I may be one of the only New Zealand backers. International shipping can be enough to deter a lot of people :(

$8?  I regularly pay way more than that for non-international shipping

Yeah, which is why I wasn't so deterred this time haha.
Not a fan of situations where I end up paying more for shipping than the product itself, unless it's cheaper than local costs anyway haha.

8$ shipping is okay but considering people who just want to order 1 or 2 decks, $8 will make decks much more expensive.

Alright, get ready for a journey....Born in California, lived there for a long time. Moved to Germany. Moved back to California, lived in Washington for a while. Moved to Alabama, spent most my time in New Orleans, LA. Moved to Georgia, lived in Iraq for a year, now back in Georgia with plans on finally settling in New Orleans. Travelled across most the states on my summers as well.

If you go, try to check out a few of the bigger cities I guess but the West coast is the really cool part, especially further South.  There's a lovely little place called Dingle Bay.

Here's a topic that's worth a revival!  As many of you know, I'm a native New Yorker - my NY passport gets me into the rest of the USA, no problem!  :))  "What's a New York passport?," you ask?  The standard reply is a fist to the face, followed by "None o' yo' fuĀ¢|<in' business, wise guy!!"  (You should never stamp a New York passport...it might stamp you back!)
