    I live in Delhi, capital of India.

    It's really crowded over here. The population is about 17 million, so you can imagine what I feels like to live here. There are traffic jams in most of the areas. Pollution, noise and all those elements of a big city.

    In others ways, this place is not that bad. The city is spread over a huge area and the markets are centrally located. The weather is extreme. It reaches about 47 °C [117 °F] in summers and about ?0.6 °C [30.9 °F] in winters. But all together I enjoy this place's culture.

    I'm going to say Melbourne is the most ridiculous city sometimes. Can't the bloody weather make up it's mind?
    Hot then cold. Pur-lease. Stick with one season. :grr:

    Try living in England.
    We had no summer, just floods non stop.
    This summer was the wettest recorded so far.
    I hate living here so much.
    The only upside is the fact that we have one of the best health services.

    ^^For all good reason too, imagine the devastation of constant flooding.
    Is SAD [Seasonal Affective Disorder] common over there?

    I'm not totally sure, but it wouldn't surprise me.
    I haven't lived here all that long though.

    Frinton is a iddy-biddy seaside town in North Essex. It's full of old people & had a BBC documentary based on it. x]

    I'd sell my soul to the devil to be able to grow up and live somewhere like Delhi. You're so lucky.

    Anyway, my home town is a small town of around 40,000 inhabitants in north-western Romania.
    We have a love/hate relationship.
    I mean, it's a pretty cool town to live in, it dates back to the Romans and was inhabited mostly by Germans for a period. There's a huge Gothic cathedral and a Franciscan order settlement. And many old buildings and castle-like houses.
    It's just tiny, you get bored of it easily.
    And unfortunately enough it's in Romania, I think Emily was complaining of the public transportation system. You have no idea.
    But, I really love my school, it's old and rather elitist, one of the best in the country and I wouldn't change it for the world.

    I like my hometown, I'm just going to move when I grow up and maybe come back when I'm old and wrinkly.

    Us Australians, in my honest opinion, have shocking accents. I'm still unfathomed how people can like them....[/off-topic]

    I love Australia as a home, especially traveling around it, it's a wonderful place. So beautiful. Red dirt is so cool, and same as Uluru. Plus, we have the coolest animals too. :cool:

    Melbourne has sharp architecture. Literally. I don't understand it. Fed square is a horrible design. Though RMIT University has this awesome green architecture design on the main entrance I think. :think:

    I prefer the country though.

    I live in Marietta, Georgia. It's like an hour away from the airport and about six hours away from Disney World. It's not that interesting. There's a super Wal-Mart and a Starbucks around practically every turn. Most of the schools here have had one or two bomb threats. Summer is ridiculously hot and winters get cold, but rarely cold enough to snow. Oh, and there's a bunch of enormous, beautiful new houses that have been built everywhere but remain unsold since no one has the money to buy them.

    I'm from Kazan, Russia. It's South East from Moscow and it's a little warmer there in the winter, but not by much. Kazan It's really pretty there, but ofcourse like many cities in Russia you have the run-down places which look like they are out of some sort of nightmare.

    I currently live in Brooklyn, New York. So that is also like a hometown for me. I moved from one diverse city to another diverse city. It really is quite magical.

    My hometown was a tiny, tiny, tiny little Antebellum southern town. It was fun growing up there. I spent my childhood on a farm, and had pet goats, chickens, dogs, barn cats, horses, pigs, donkeys, mules, and even these funny little birds called "Guineas".

    :cute:

    It was very racist and backwards though. I'm glad to be out.

    I despise of England more than I should.
    I've been living here for three years, and it's safe to say that it's the worst place I've ever been to.
    I'm sure there are nice parts, but on a whole I hate it here.
    Especially coming from Hawaii, to here, it's a huge change, and I haven't really adapted.
    I don't like my school, it's considered the best in the south of England, by far, but it's just so stuck up.
    I liked Hawaii, it was so laid back, calm and everyone was kind and considerate towards eachother.
    Here people get stabbed every other hour.

    There is nothing to do, seriously. There's an outdoor swimming pool but that's really just it.
    The sunsets are really nice, but that's basically it.
