Post by: Oobly on Mon, 30 November 2015, 01:48:02: Born in Cape Town, South Africa where I lived until starting universtiy in Port Elizabeth. Moved back to Cape Town until I decided to make a change. Got a job in London, UK and lived there for two months before moving to Tampere, Finland. Least favourite place has been London, no offense to any UK people, but it didn't even feel like I was culturally in UK. Also didn't have much free time, so I didn't get to go exploring / discovering.

Nice! You're a bit on the other side of the state. Grew up in Trumbull (right outside of Bridgeport), visited Stamford and Norwalk a lot (besides Bridgeport). I remember visiting Mystic when I was younger...wonder why I never visited Hartford.
