I live in Vancouver on the beautiful west coast of Canada, where we have it all - sophisticated city living with amazing international restaurants, mountains for skiing and hiking, the ocean for sailing and a stunning backdrop, lots of art and cultural events, fouro distinct seasons, and lush forests to surround it all. Tell me about where you live, and why it is great to be there.

I live in the desert of Nevada, Las Vegas. Its a beautiful city surrounded by serene mountains, woodlands and lakes with flat desert as far as you can see. It is one place where all of nature seems to exist together equally.

I'm from the same place as you. Are you one of the rare ones, born in Vancouver?

Not I, prior I lived and worked in Toronto for over 18 yrs. Prior was elsewhere in southern Ontario. As you may know many refugees from other parts of Canada, appreciate Vancouver ..after experiencing life elsewhere.

One thing for certain: Toronto is way more international than Vancouver. Seriously. Here seeing an Afro-Canadian is rare. Toronto is probably gearing up again for their large annual Caribana that draws blacks from the NOrtheast U.S. plus whoever else locally.

I lived in 8 different states, and too many towns/cities/rural to mention. Now I live in Colorado Springs, CO. In 1972, when I graduated high school, I applied to and was accepted at colleges in Colorado. I'd never been here, but CO was where I wanted to be. It was not until 2005 that my dream came true. I love, love, love it here, and can't imagine living anywhere else. The travel brochures say that CO Springs has more sunny days than Miami.

San Francisco Bay Area.

We live in Mississippi.

And along with history, there is the company of Shakespeare, Dickens, Wordsworth, Blake, T.S. Eliot, Shelley...to name a few.

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We have all four seasons at their most splendid. Our temperatures range from below zero to above 100. Our humidity can be 10% to 90%. We have trees that are gorgeous shades of green in the summer, beautiful warm fall colors in the fall, weighted down by white snow in the winter, and watching them begin the process in the spring is a sight to behold.

We have terrific resturants, ranging from mom-and-pop-bacon-and-eggs, to five star restruants. We have several museums of national significance and a theater scene that is highly regarded.

We are a city of lakes. Our lakes are connected by drives, walks, and bike trails. We have a creek that runs from the furthest suburb into our twin town of St. Paul. People kayak, walk the dog and bike from one city to the next,to the next....

Boy, Minneapolis sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Arizona, in the desert. I love the moderate winters; the beautiful springs; the fantastic falls; hate the hot, dry summers. I live surrounded by mountains and on an endless beach (all sand; no ocean)! 360 days a year of sunshine. Not enough rain. But in spite of all that I can't imagine living anywhere else. I've lived in the UK and from Vermont to Louisiana on the East coast and in the South. I wouldn't trade here for any of them. The desert is so beautiful; and the plants and animals so different. They've all adapted to the climate in so many interesting ways.

Native of NYC living in Orange County, Southern California since 1980.

We have four seasons: summer; still summer; dammit isn't summer over yet? and 15 minutes of winter/rainy season. Winter (if I don't miss it) is my favorite.

I'm inland, semi-desert climate, 20 miles north of the beach and 25 miles south of the mountains.

My yard is full of several varieties of magnificent giant cacti, which need no care whatsoever. People from Canada take pictures in front of the cacti (yes, they have.)

Lots of theaters, museums, galleries, music venues (all types.)

World famous beaches, world famous shopping, and world famous tv shows about shallow rich people.

Every ethnic group on the planet (whether you've heard of them or not) has opened a restaurant here.
