ASK A FOREIGNER

No, this isn't a Foreigner band interview.
Do you have any burning questions for members from other countries / places?
Post them here!
Maybe you just want to have general banter about cultural differences.
This is the place!
Curious about geographic music trends and opinions?

If you are, or intend to be, an active member of these forums please post
your country and state/province/etc if you wish your location to be included
as a geographic reference as shown above and it has not already been listed.
Please note that we're not listing city-level reference in the USA, so don't
worry about that... although city discussion is definitely encouraged in the
thread. If I've made any mistakes or have left anything out so far, please
let me know. Thanks.



Disclaimer:
The opinions of one or more members representing their city, state, or
country do not necessarily represent the opinions of everyone else there (obviously).
But I'm sure you already knew that. So consider this wasted space.


So let's ask some foreigners!

minor spelling error, its lisbon, portugal, not libson

also, i don't understand this:

Quote:
British Columbia, Ontario, Toronto, Vancouver
vancouver is the largest city (though not capital) of BC and toronto is the capital & largest city of ontario

afaik there isn't anyone here who lives somewhere in BC that isn't vancouver

Thanks guys, will begin editing now.

Edit:

I changed Canada's stats to strictly cities since there aren't many of you guys from there so it's relatively safe to be more specific. (Thanks Captain Caveman!)
Again, I know I haven't been able to include everyone, as not everyone who's active here have posted their locations... so please list them if you want to add your location as a reference.

I just want to get an accurate picture of all our locations in order for folks to have an idea of whether their questions will be answered by valid persons.

You can just add Beirut as the location next to Lebanon Freebase, it's the closest city to home.

Great idea btw

This post is to call for specific members for locations...

- Urban
- Tore (I need your city if possible. Really, I don't think it matters... you're the only one in Norway. But for the sake of posterity.)
- ANYONE WHO'S IN NORTHERN IRELAND!!!! Don't be ashamed. Tell us who you are.

Obviously, If I've already got your location listed, no need.
Anyone else I haven't mentioned, feel free.

Well I live in something called Adma (in Keserwen, Mount Lebanon), but I don't even think it's much of a town ... and I guess I'll be moving to Beirut in a year or two, so let's just keep it at that for now

Will do, close enough. The whole idea is that you'll be able to be a knowledgeable representative for any questions aiming in your direction.
