Where do I live?

One of the most exciting features of our online community is the fact that we come fromall over the globe. Join us as we spend the next two weeks finding each other on the map and talking about the places where we live, go to school and have fun every day. We'll try to discover how people shape their landscapes and are shaped by them.

You will find many questions here for you to answer. Don't forget to ask your online friends some questions that you might have for them. This is how we learn, by asking questions.
