Well geologically it's part of the North American subcontinent.

Easy to chose a checkbox for me. Born in Paris, lived in France most of my life and currently in England, Europe.

lnternet is great to throw the national barriers down and share all together. Though nobody voted 'Africa' yet... ls Internet too pricey there?

Sheesh, how about New Zealand? And no, we don't come under 'Australia'. 'Australasia' perhaps, or 'Oceania' (better). Even South Pacific would do.

Central Europe - Austria

from the southern part (as if it was big enough to mention that..)

New Hampshire USA

I find it unexpected that Europe is where most of us from by a quite a big margin (so far).

Fascinating.

Triza

Caribbean - Puerto Rico
I guess we could count as North America?

Its not so surprising anymore once one knows where most of the "core" is from. Get on the IRC-channels for just a few days, and you'll understand what i mean. Also, the frapper map which was started a few months ago also painted a similiar picture. However, i also did not expect the margin to be THAT big (so far). Contrary to the irc-channels and the frapper-map, this poll is visible right on the portal-page..... i didn't expect a "visible" poll to still be biased so much towards europe.

Santa Maria, RS, Brazil.

7/10 - Oldenburg - Germany
2/10 - Hamburg - Germany
1/10 - Bergby - Sweden (hej hej (sommartider))
1/10 - I never understood math...

Sydney, Australia.

I really love IKEA's hotdogs!
BTW do IKEAs all over the world have such hotdogs?

Hey, you folks should include a South East Asia option in the voting. I am neither from East or South Asia!
Most of the audio-visual industry here has its regional office in Singapore.

USA. Lynchburg, Virginia specifically. Here at good old Liberty University!

edit: Well, iI guess to answer the question more literally, I was born in Ft. Irwin, California, but I currently go to school, and live, in Virgina.

You're telling me!

BTW I'm from Karlsruhe, that's quite exactly on the corner of the dent
on the lower right side of Germany

Ooops, of course I meant LEFT side!

Damn, I'm the first African to vote - I really hadn't thought there were so few of us on the boards. I'm from South Africa.

I am also from South Africa. I was born and grew up in Johannesburg, but moved to Cape Town five years ago.

Thanks to the descriptive name South Africa is probably the easiest country in the world to find on a map

Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

South America for those who don´t know.

Central Europe - Austria
From the northern part.

Definitely! They should... for knowing what does it mean BEER! LOL!

We have them here in the UK, I love the IKEA mustard too

Yes that helped me! Thanks again

Europe - Slovakia (NOT Slovenia) - Samorin



a much more beatiuful old picture but too small

suburbs of seattle, washington, usa

and yes i do know there are other countries besides the usa... canada is one, right? oh and mexico? hah! - two!

...there be dragons...

Where exactly do you come from (Durlach, Neureut...)?

Europe - England (London to be precise)

Central Europe, Slovenia

Sorry. My bad. I had limited my thoughts to continents... shoulda placed Oceania there...

Don't know what to choose...
There should be an option like "unsettled"

Was born in Russia (2 years), moved to the Ukraine (17 years), Russia again (10 years), Iraq (2 years), now Hong Kong (for 2 years already)...

missing Russia though...

I hope I will die on the Canary Islands

The capital of Poland - Warsaw - as my description states.
I am just studying and working here for some years now, I wasn't born in this city, but I won't trouble anyone with other names.

I can't think of any interesting photo at the moment, sorry...

Europe - Hungary - Budapest

I'm from land of poles, Rzeszów city, in the centre we have that monument which we call "big pussy", or "concrete pussy". One day I'll build a female concrete golem around it and rule the world.

Malaysia

Hmmm... I've learnt a lot from posting this poll...

If we ever do a poll like this again, I will surely change it like this:

Where do you currently live?
Choose your region:

• Africa
• America - North (incl Mexico)
• America - South
• Asia - East (incl SEAsia)
• Asia - South
• Asia - West (the mid-east)
• Eurasia (ex Soviet Union, Turkey)
• Europe
• Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific, Hawai'i)

You'd better propose options like this:
- Americas
- Europe
- CIS region
- Middle East
- Far East
- Africa
- Pacific Rim

BTW, Eurasia is a name of the largest continent which consists of Europe and Asia .

They sure do. And everywhere they sell for the same price. It's one of Kamprad's (the founder) fix ideas. Btw, hust to show how nutty this billionair is - What car do you think he drives?

Answer: http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/...llionaires.html

Btw, I'm European (Sweden)

Pacific Rim and Far East intersects. And technically, Hawai'i is in the middle of Pacific (LOL). Americas need to be split.

I am aware of that. But Turkey is not CIS. And some people from Turkey actually becomes confused whether they should be in Asia or in Europe. Of course, if Turkey joins the EU then the matter is solved.

That's a strange problem with Turkey . Turkey is a European country (from Wikipedia):

Central California - basically in the middle of the state, and surrounded by literally hundreds (if not thousands) of acres of farmland. If you enjoy raisins, they probably came from from vines around here (Sunmaid Raisin's main facility is about 1/2 hour up the freeway from here).

I've learnt (I don't know whther this is sad or not): You can leave africa out in future. 2 people from africa. I guess from the northern countries or south africa...

I come from northern Germany - actually it's coast of the North Sea.

Hah! That is not true. The prices here (Slovakia) are most of the time very much different than in, say Austria or Germany. And what sucks most is that they are usually more expensive, even though we have a much lower average income.

And I hate IKEA. It's freakin' huge and women force you to spend hours there.

Hi all, this is my first post. As I'm from Turkey, it was amusing to see people have the same confusion about whether it should be in Europe or in Asia. While we generally think of ourselves as Europeans, some other Europeans seem not to share this view, so I don't know.

I'm voting for Europe not only because I think Turkey should belong to Europe, but also because I'm studying in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Born in Ukraine, now residing in Karelia, Russia. In a week leaving for the UK.
For good.

Don't leave out Africa! Just because there aren't many HA members from here doesn't mean that we are not going to demand our poll option rights

Argentina

From the center of this picture, more or less: Google Maps

Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, North America.

I live somewhere in the center of this map.
Man these satellite pics are pretty scary.... I can see my house's rooftop.
