I'm kind of curious where everyone is from. Where do you currently live? I currently live in (semi) northern California, USA. In the past, I've lived in Michigan, USA, and also in Sendai, Japan for a year. I've spent a few months here and there in Korea, but not enough to constitute "living" there. I wonder if there's anybody nearby. Maybe we can play go sometime at a nearby go club. |

I was born in Vantaa (north of Helsinki), and I have lived in Vantaa, Espoo (west of Helsinki), Helsinki, Nurmijärvi (further north of Helsinki) and now in Vihti (50 km west/northwest of Helsinki). I have always gone to school or worked in greater Helsinki area (=Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen). And for those of you who speak Swedish, Helsinki = Helsingfors, Vantaa = Vanda, Espoo = Esbo, Kauniainen = Grankulla and Vihti = Vichtis. Nurmijärvi is the same in both languages. |

A village in the southern French Alps (though I'm a native New Yorker). Oddly enough, I found a guy who lives about 1/4 mile from me who was interested in learning go, a few months ago. He found a post I had made on the French Go Federation's web site looking for people in the area. We've only met up once, so far; he's just a beginner, but we do spot each other on KGS from time to time. (If anyone follows cycling, I'm on the road that leads to the col d'Izoard. The Tour de France comes in front of my house every couple of years.) |

A New England transplant from the Midwest. By the way, Kirk. I really envy your situation. Living in a village in the French Alps, making a living writing about stuff you enjoy, and the snow! Those pictures you posted on GD were like heaven to me. And I'm a huge cycling fan - go Lance. |

Yes, it's quite a nice area. My son got Lance's autograph a few years ago when the Dauphiné Libéré race was in the area. And the stage where Lance went through that field? They came in front of my house earlier in that stage. |

I grew up outside Philly, went to college in Pittsburgh, spent five years in Southern California, five years in Seattle, and now the last four months in Northern California. I'm now trying to figure out where I'm going next. |

Dallas, Texas. Prior to that, Los Angeles, in the Valley. Working night shift in such a dense part of L.A. is... a character-building experience. |

I'm in San Jose, to be exact. We go to SF often, but mostly for recreation. It's fun to go to Japantown sometimes. There are also go tournaments in the bay area sometimes. |

Born in England, but when I was only about a year and half I moved to Delaware. Lived there for about 5 years, then moved to Massachusetts. A couple years later I moved to Maine, where all my family is from. And I have been trapped here ever since. |

Born and raised in the SF Bay Area of California, moved twice within that area, then went to Cleveland, OH for college. Currently in Vancouver for a job interview, flying back today to the Bay Area. Probably spending a good portion of the summer at home, and then flying back up to Vancouver to start work. |

Most of my life was as a Californian -- born in San Francisco, grew up in the East Bay, including a stint at UCB. Next stop was a dozen or so years on the northeast corner of Lake Tahoe (Incline Village, Nevada). Since mid-2004, I've been in Eugene, Oregon. Will this be my last stop? Dunno. |
