The Dink Network

A lot of international topics keep coming up...I hope this doesnt become a useless information thread, but I would like everyone to post here and mention what Nation they live in and if they think its important where in that nation.

I live in the USA on the East Coast in rural Pennsylvania. I moved here a few years ago from Los Angeles, CA where I lived 17 years.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

I live in Finland, on the west coast in a city called Vaasa.

the middle of sweden

I hail from England.

If you want details (just in case you ever feel the need to hunt me down and sacrifice me to Nedved), I reside in a white house, in a small village named Leighton Bromswold, near Cambridge.

Boy, this topic has been brought up a gazillion times.. but yay, I haven't moved yet, I still live in Oslo, Norway.

I also haven't change my place of residence, so I currently reside in Belgium, Maasmechelen!

the "dirty south" of Texas, US of A! i can't believe i just used that cliche. please don't shoot me.

I come from the Netherlands and I live in Roosendaal.

Whoa so we got all of Northern Europe represented and the UK. Throw in a Texan and weve practically got another country.

Its great how the joy that is Dink Smallwood can cross cultural boundaries like a plague and bring us all together.

Now where are those Canadians?

Hmmm, Kat has not posted yet...This is wierd. Maybe she thinks that we already that she is canadian...

I live in the small town of Hohenwald, TN, which is in the U.S. (which is probably obvious).

How small is it? I live in a town of 16,000(Mandan). The population could be considered a little larger, I suppose since we are close to a town of 55,000.

I have been living in a small french town about 1 hour east of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for about 20 years now; but spent my childhood and teen years in a small english town about 1/2 hour south of Ottawa.

Thank you MTG, that's why I wasn't about to post an answer, but just thought I'd give you more of an idea, since Ottawa is easy to find on a map.

You know, I never knew for sure.. one report said 10,000; one said 18,000. So eh.

I am from Lithuania, a town named Marijampolë

I'm from Finland, from a tiny place named Suomussalmi.

Cool, Lithuania.
*is 1/4 Lithuanian

I'm currently in Indianapolis, USA... but I lived in Toronto, Canada for about six months last winter and fall.

Well i reside on the other side of the world from all posters so far, in New Zealand.

So weve got all of Europe except the mainland plus all of North American except Mexico and even New Zealand! Im sure there's an Australian somewhere around here too! Now we need some Asians, Africans, and Latins.

Hey I notice their seem to be a lot of rpg players in Europe especially in the North and East. Does being stuck inside from the cold weather make people play more video games?

I also heard Finland is #1 on the list of least politically corrupt countrys...the US is ranked 18th...

I know someone from Australia here. And also someone from *COUGH*Texas*COUGH*.

it seems that i mention simonk a lot in my posts...but he is the aussie around here.

edit: not to mention he's a pirate. and that just makes him twice as kickass!

To the best of my knowledge, we have no Africans or Latins... we'd have an Asian if mimifish were still around (I think..?), and there may be one or two more that I don't recall.

dinkmega is from Mexico.

i come from sweden, in the town of "sandviken"
but i want to live in alaska...

crazy fellow, why? I'd like to live in a place where the summer is hot (30+ degrees) and the winter is cold. (-30- degrees)

EDIT: hehe, I'll never stop loving el swear filter, so why not remove it? at least have a poll on whether it should be removed or not....

You got your Asian! I'm from India, Mumbai. Though I think I'm the only Indian around here.

I live in Norway!!

Wasn't Dethlord Asian?

Las Vegas nevada USA

fing, I was near you during basic training. San Antonio Texas

He is, but he moved to the US. (Talking about DethLord)

Oh, WC got the post 3 min before...

I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I live in a rural suburb called Warrandyte, with a population of 8,000 people. I used to live in the middle city but moved when I was 4 years of age. In a couple of years I'm going to move to Chile temporarily so expect a Spanish speaker on the board.

There are already a handful of people who speak Spanish.

Im from Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand Ive lived here 2 years now.

I live in Kaarina, Finland.

Whoa another female!?! Way to go Dink Network...

I've heard New Zealand has vast expanses of untouched wilderness and of varied biomes.

Yehaa!,
The Vault Dweller

Vast expanses of Sheep...

I live in a town just outside Boston, Massachusetts on the east coast of US. Was born in County Waterford Ireland, but have no memory of it and have a strong urge to visit.

I have visited lots of states in the US; New York, Michigan, California, New Mexico, Texas (Houston and Dallas), Tenn, Florida, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Conn, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Penn, Illinois, Indiana and Oklahoma. I've also been to Mexico (Mexico City), a bunch of island countries in the Carribean, Honduras and the eastern provinces of Canada. I really want to go to Europe, Asia and the South Pacific.

Just HOW did you get to all those places? Your either a hitchiker or someone with a job that involves travel. Either way youve experienced an incredible amount.

On an unrelated note did you know that a good few of the worst STD's came from sheep? Sheepherder's got lonely spending so much time away from civilization for weeks one end with only the sheep around...

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

and the aids virus came from some kind of monkeys in africa...i suppose that's beastiality at its best.

My parents used to like to travel and many places were to visit family...I've gone to some of the more fun places on my own though...the Carribean and Florida. Indiana, Chicago and Michigan were for visits to Law schools. Canada...A bunch of us went to party in Montreal, which is about a 8 or 9 hour drive from here. Since I turned 18, I make it a point to go somewhere every year. I go to NY at least once a year, its an experience everyone should have - I love it there and its only about a 4 hour drive. Next year I want to ski in Aspen

Aspen? Aspen is cool but DX '84 is the best.

I was playing trivia the other day and discovered Australia has more sheep than anywhere else in the world.. I could have sworn it was New Zealand.

i live in iowa in a small town called keokuk there is more cornfields then there is people lol and there is no alien stuff in the cornfields it is just a boreing town in is only two miles wide and the pop. is 11,427

I've always been amazed at the huge amount of Dinkers coming from the Netherlands. I've had mails from about 40 of them and there has also been a lot of them active on the boards for as long as I can remember.

Proparly has something to do with the fact that Dink Smallwood could be bought for a small price at the local toy stores in this country.

A small town? Hell, that's a city up here in saskatchewan.

//thinks for a second

There are only 35 people within 10k of where I am right now. And 27 of them are in this god-forsaken hamlet called amsterdam(n).
