That was kind of vague.  Whatever.  I'm gonna miss this place when I leave for college this fall :( Amelle Posted at 12:47 am on July 27, 2009 I live in Penzance in Cornwall. Cornwall is pretty famous for having the best beaches in England, and I'm surrounded by said beaches where I live which is awesome during the summer as we tend to get the best of England's weather down here too. Picture is of St. Michael's mount, just off Marazion beach about 3 miles from Penzance town centre. It is a little island with a castle that was under siege during the War of Roses and the Civil War. You can walk to the island during low tide or catch a boat when the tide is higher. It is very pretty and has a lot of history so is a very interesting visit, not to mention all the exercise you get walking right up to the castle! Takes a long time but is worth it. Penzance town centre is relatively small but has everything you need really: quite a few shops, a cinema, cafes, an arcade, two spacious and relaxing parks, 3 play parks for children, art galleries and museums. All in all, Penzance is a pretty idyllic place to live; the pace of life is quite slow but the nearest big city is 45 minutes away by car so you can easily get the best of both worlds. kimyurix3 Posted at 5:10 am on July 24, 2009 Seoul, Korea During the year I can't wait for summer to arrive so I can spend it in Seoul. Whenever I'm in Seoul I feel like I'm free and happy hanging out with family and friends and visiting my Grandma, who I only get to see in Winter and Summer. Seoul can really be considered a city that never sleeps, you can leave your home at 2am and still find plenty to do anyday of the week. But, Seoul is more than just sky scrapers and busy lifestyle, it also has some slices of the past and our history, right inside the city there are 4 ancient palaces which are preserved. I can't express in words how much I love this place, and no matter where I live I will always consider Seoul my home. nzdude Posted at 11:38 pm on July 23, 2009 hmmmm i wonder if it should be Porirua or Wellington Chiefette Posted at 6:23 pm on July 22, 2009 Quote: from Yummie Strawberries at 8:11 pm on July 22, 2009 Quote: from Chiefette at 6:59 pm on July 21, 2009 My hometown is a small town in Florida.  We have beautiful rivers such as this one.  I work at the park at which this photo was taken.  This park is the life of our area.  It is home to many native and exotic animals.  It is the home of the original Tarzan movies as well as many other films.  The water in this river is 99% pure and is bottled and sold without purification.  I love my home town, and don't plan on every leaving it.    I will add the image when it is approved I know where you liiiiive.

I love Inveraray. It's so pretty.

Kinky Kitten Posted at 2:47 am on July 18, 2009 Garden Of rememberance Dublin, This is a small garden in the center of Dublin city which is dedicated to all those irish people who died for irish freedom. The sculpture in the center is designed after children of lir, one of many irish legeds to have travelled the world. Dublin is the capital of a small country that holds no more then 5 million people yet has irish people scattered all over the world, mainly in places such as america, england and australia. Irish citizens shape the world today everywhere. Dublin's beauty cannot be summed up in one word, it is a place full of both new and historic buildings. A place where history comes alive before your eyes. Its also a place of amazing natural beauty, its greenery compels any tourist to see. (dublin Port at sunset) Ireland's Eye Cliffs Of Howth Note : all the images were taken by me. eklipse Posted at 1:15 pm on July 17, 2009 Gameover. Image gone. My hometown, located in nearly the center of Maryland. Booming with life, people from every spectrum of personalities, regions of the world, and a diverse group of people. Not only is everyone different from one another, but there are ties which bring us all close together. It's a town full of stuck-up individuals, but when a true issue arises, we all stick together and fight through it. The scenery is beautiful, vivid in every aspect. Overall, it's an amazing place to live. You learn something new everyday, and wish to grasp the concepts which float about in between everyone. We are a community. Chelios Posted at 6:31 pm on July 14, 2009 My hometown is in Chicago and i think it truly is the best because it is the representation of not one city but the entirety of America. People from all over america come to chicago every year for the sheer pleasure of being there and having been able to said that they were there. Most recent 15 of 35 previous replies displayed.
