I am from Hereford in the UK. It is a very rural town (actually a city as it has a Cathedral) near the Welsh border. It is around 150 miles from London and 50 miles from Birmingham.

The main industry is farming and making alcoholic drinks like cider and beer.

It is the HQ of the SAS Regiment which is the UK Military Special Forces.

I could go on for ages as it is a really peaceful place to live but I have included a virtual tour of the town and surrounding areas in the link below.

Where do you live and do you like it?

Well, I live in the united states in ohio. It has harsh winters and hot summers. I'd be happy if it weren't for the snow and cold. I'd still liketo move somewhere with warm winters and maybe an ocean near by. My city is near a big one. So, it's quite crowded when driving or shopping. I'd prefer to be in the country like I grew up.

There is nothing but countryside all around here!!
Can get a bit boring at times but I would prefer to be here than in a big city. It's an old town as parts of it are over 1000 years old.

I live in Ventura County, California - about 80 miles north of Los Angeles and about 55 miles south of Santa Barbara.

And yes I love it here! The weather is great - doesn't vary too much since it's close to beach/pacific ocean. It doesn't get too hot, and it doesn't get too cold. Ventura is actually pretty ideal where traffic is not too bad unless you drive down to LA. There's enough to do - and if you want to do more, you can drive down to LA (or up to Santa Barbara). And if you just want to take in some serious scenery - you can drive through the PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY (PCH).

I'm not too sure if there's such a thing as a virtual tour of the area - I'm sure you can look in Google Earth and see.

CHEERS!


myLot reputation of 75/100. mike1976 (1100)   ranked 4,495 out of 38,237 in life  7 months ago

Sounds really nice thumbup especially the weather!!

I will have a look in Google Earth when my internet decides to speed up as the connection at the moment is as slow as a snail. I'm sure it will be making me double post soon. I've done 6 today so far!!

It sounds like you live in beautiful and peaceful place. A place that I would enjoy living in. I live in a small town where the economy is pretty poor and it's devastating to my person because I do like the general area where I live. I have the ocean 20 minutes away from home, Disneyland about 40 minutes from home and the mountains roughly 20 minutes from home. If you ever don't see me on myLot for a couple of days or so it's because I'm in the mountains.

I have read about the good people of England and Scotland a week ago and I am really happy to see this discussion.As for me, I am from the Philippines.We are very happy hospitable people who are in a sense very clannish.There are areas which are agricultural, some industrial and some people live by fishing.We love our country and culture. We are proud of our selves .We love to study, to explore, to dwell on the arts and anything under the sun.Corruption do happen as in opther governments and the people find that intolerable.Nevertheless, we are content with every little things and blessings we have

The city where I live is a Suburb. Its a nice and quiet place to live. I guess the only pet peeve I have is the graffiti writing around the places I visit. The neighbors are nice and pleasant to be around.

Do you live in Manila?


myLot reputation of 100/100. tigeraunt (876)   ranked 6,502 out of 38,237 in life  7 months ago

manila is very congested city now and although a lot opportunities are there, i prefer my place. manila is in the north, mine is in the south. it is one hour and forty five minutes plane ride from where i am to manila.
have you visited manila? i have been there three times only but on the second time i went there, i stayed for nearly two months.
and it floods in manila during stormy weathers. lol

I don't enjoy living in Amsterdam to be honest. It's just annoying that nobody feels responsible for his neighbourhood as well as not knowing the name or phone number or other personal data of your neighbours.

The only positive thing about Amsterdams are tourists, the more the better for me, I like seeing new non-Dutch faces everyday.

I expect that is the case in most cities these days sad
