! YA Heroines ! discussion

I'm from New Zealand as well. :)
BTW - Sport is my enemy! I like pavlova though.
Anyways things I love about N.Z.

~ How we are a tiny country :)
~ The birds, and the bees, andt the flowers and the trees. (nope I'm not talking about that )
~ Spring and Summer ... And winter and autumn. ( BTW A.K.A. that's fall )

I <3 New Zealand.

I'm from Norway, which is a super nice country. I do not know what we are most proud of, but should probably say the fine nature. I live on the west coast where it rains a lot, but am used to it.

I have a question. If someone has anything they would like to know about a country that some one live in, can they ask?

Hi Im from Ireland ,a very very rainy place, I don`t really know what were most proud of I think its are sport, camogie and gaelic, we also make the best sausages.

Jenny has meet no one :P

Hello! I live in a small town in the United States, and all I'll say for now is that the weather is very wacky (my town's slogan is "It's the Climate!")

I haven't met many people from outside my own country, so its nice to meet you all. :)

It's nice to meet you too!

Hi! I'm from Canada. There's quite a lot of clichés surrounding my country (maple syrup, polar bears, ice, hockey, mounties, see what I mean, eh?)

But umm... I guess most people don't know that basketball is Canadian? Oh, and it can get pretty hot here too, as well as freezing cold... I think Ontario/Quebec/Central Canada had heat waves into the 30's with humidity making it feel like over 40C last summer. Plus it's a fantastically beautiful place, but don't we all think that of our homes? :)

Hey! I live in Australia, and we are awesome!

Before anyone asks, by the way, we don't have weird accents. Well, at least most of us don't. lol!
Australia is known for it's hot climate, but I live in Tasmania (Which, BTW is the island state to the south of Victoria) and it is cold most of the year. I don't know what cold is for you guys, but for us a majority of the year lingers around roughly 17 degrees Celsius.

But, back to Australia - It is really hot, we have awesome beaches, lots of wildlife and of course, the Great Barrier Reef (look up some pictures!), and I don't really know what else to say! What do you guys think when you think of Australia?

Lol hey neighbour! ;)

You better not say that Pavalova comes from Aussie cause we Kiwi's will get awfully mad. :P

Don't worry, as much as I love pavalova, I would never deprive it of it's origins! ;)

Although, if you want an Australian classic food... go Vegemite! :)

WHAT!17 Celsius thats like my summer right now its -2!!!!!

Really? What time of day is it?

I don't like summer much. In Tassie, in normally gets to 38 C, tops, but in other parts of Australia it was 50! I prefer the inbetween seasons; Autumn (Fall) and Spring

I'm the exact same, Autumn and Spring is the best (unless it's windy as heck).

And I'm from California. Where every breath you take is full of smog. And people litter the weirdest/nastiest things. And Hollywood is nicknamed hollyweird because that's were mentally unstable homeless people live.
I'm also an hour from the beach, and an hour from the mountains, and an hour from six-flags.-- which is the only plus.

Hollyweird? Lol do you love maple syrup? Joking! ;)

We have really nice beaches in Australia - the ones I go to in Tassie are only an hour away, but hour private beach house is 2 1/2 hours. But it is worth it! And we have mountains which are awesome for hiking and skiing. I <3 skiing! I have grown out of my skiis now, though :(

Go Marmite!!!! YUM.

We have equally nice beaches in N.Z. it's not as hot as Australia but windy.

Kiwi's are awesome! And Marmite? Really? I don't like it, sorry.

You guys have awesome ski mountains. You guys rock! :)

I know right?
Marmite is much better! :P
Anyways you guys got the Gold Coast!

Good point. Not that the Gold Coast is that amazing, I've only ever been there once. I went to all the theme parks though, and stayed in a 5 star hotel. That was pretty awesome! But, Queensland is too hot. I prefer cooler climates :)

Too hot in Aussie, I would not be able to stand the heat. *GASP* 5 star!

I know, the bushfires are horrible, especially in Tassie. I went to my beach house for 2 weeks, and we were really edgy cause the fires were really close. False alarm sirens kept going off in the middle of the night. Scary!

OMG, how did you sleep at night?

Well, I slept like a log. I don't have a very good survival sense! lol

LOL

I'm from the U.S Indiana I live in a small town in the country sort of and everyone laughs when I tell them I live in the house on the Hill I guess we are well known by our farmers and the weather has a saying if you don't like the weather today wait till tomorrow one day the sun may be shinning and its 50 degrees the next its snowing and 10 degrees and the next could be raining so we never know what the weather will be I live in a small town where everyone literally knows your name and basketball,track, volleyball are all a big deal

Wow, great weather! Sounds absolutely fun. I'm not really the basketball type though.

around here sports go with the season right now there big on football I'm not a sports person so I'm lost most of the time when people start talking about it

Sad reality. :(
But can you believed I played Touch Rugby in Primary School, that is how heavy the 'sporting' influence is in NZ.

I always hated when they made me play sports in school cause I wasn't into them

What are you talk about?

It was 5O in Sydney one day but its cooler now

Yep I'm from Australia and I live in Sydney. Um... well I actually want to move... to London because it rains there and I don't like the heat that much... so I'm weird.

My dad just came back from England and bought me a Platform 9 3/4 shirt! :)

He went to Kings Cross to take a train to Doncaster I think *shrugs* and he got a photo at that trolley they have set up halfway through the wall

Here in India there are a lot of festivals. Almost every month. Can be twice sometimes in a month XD lol

Yeah there are a lot of festivals. In march there are two. One is considered marriage anniversary of a god (not so sure about the story) and the other is festival of colors we play with colors that day :)

Yeah :)
You're from Australia right?

Oh great.
You interested in cricket. Because India and New Zealand are kinda rivals there. I don't like that sport.

Yeah. But I don't like the Indian cricketers. I don't know why but after every victory I feel like they didn't deserve to win. I really don't know why. I like other sports but not cricket at all.

I don't get cricket it really confuses me, all those people running around and getting grass stains on their shirts

Yeah it is unfortunately . :(
That's great rugby is a nice sport.

Athena . Yeah even I don't get it. Half of the time am confused what's going on and then I get bored. God knows y ppl are so obsessed here .

Lol same

Ok. I don't but I haven't been practicing any sport for such a long time :(

When I said same I was replying to you too Simmaron :)
I don't get most sports except swimming cos thats just, Dive in and get to the other side before everyone else

Even I love swimming. That's the best sport. Horse back riding is also pretty cool. These are the only two sports which I love. :)

You can ride a horse that's so cool!
