    Not a bad place to live at all, except for the too high income taxes and utterly suffocating summers.

    Here is my city:

    North Shore

    I'm still astonished that anybody has gone to the bother of putting this info about my relatively little home town on the internet. Amazing.

    Actually, I wonder who will have the smallest population.

    Rødovre, stor kbh.

    Not really much written about my hometown (not in English anyway).

    We've got the best ice-hockey team in Denmark, though ;) .

    My current place of residence had not been added to wikipedia, but my old town (Lisburn) is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisburn

    Interesting things that I didn't know:

    1 We share the same drinking fountain's as Paris
    2 The name is derived from gealic (Lios na gCearrbhach) which means fort of the gamesters or gamblers.

    Though it doesn't mention that Lisburns now crumbling fort survived 3 great fires.

    Classic! That is a tiny town. You only have 1,068 people and a median income of US$36,528 (for males). The stats there are so detailed they almost list you by name!

    Wow! I actually found some information (in English!) about the place where I was born...
    Here's information on the provence, I born in Presidencia Roque Saenz Peña (number 4 on department list); here are some photos (click on "siguiente galeria" for more pics); and amazingly, here's an entry on Wikipedia about the city!
    I lived and worked here; just before I moved to Barcelona, where I live now.

    Yeah, around here it's easy to live off of basically nothing. The cost of living is so low.

    No, Barcelona (Spain) is where I live, is very big and is a place well know (at least there's lots of turist and is the most visited place in Spain); my surprise is to find information about the place where I was born, Saenz Peña, a little place only known there.
