Quite how far and wide are we MN-ers spread?

I'm in Egypt with my 3-mo multicultural DD (DH is Egyptian-Kurdish-British and we work in aid/social and cultural development). Although I'm occasionally homesick, I'm very happy that our LO will get a varied perspective of life, as well as being bilingual.

I see there are MN-ers as far away from the UK as UAE, S. Africa, Australia and NZ, as well as Europe.

How far afield and off the beaten track do we MN-ers get? From A(fghanistan) to Z(ambia)?

Just outside Brussels, so not exotic either. They do do a good Xmas market at this time of year though. Vin chaud, nom nom.

hong kong, and really happy here. Any other MN's out here that fancy a meet up?

Hi, CairoLucy
we are in Bavaria, southern Germany.

I am completely fascinated by Qintessentials northern Norway descriptions.

1.22 north
103.48 east
also very small island in SE Asia

I'm in Melbourne.

Not very far off the beaten track at all but a long way from the UK.

There are a few of us Mnetters here and we meet up often.

I am in Brunei Borneo here.

I'm another Canadian (Interior BC) - 50° 43' N 120° 25' W. So not much further north than London where I come from, just a little colder. Whilst we're on the facts and figures, altitude 1499 (maybe that's why it's colder!).

I am in Cape Town
Just returned after 12 years in London....

Bucharest, exotic in a new kind of way! before that the most exotic was a small fishing town 500 km north from Tokyo on the pacific side...

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Not exotic

Dubai, sunny today after yesterdays rain

Reunion island, Indian ocean

Been here a week and already think I've found the only other Brit on the island and persuading her to join MN.

I'm in Kenya. Bang on the Equator (give or take a couple of hundred miles).

Belgium too - there are quite a few of us here

Hey, maybe we could do some house-swaps. Anyone from a lovely hot place want to come and freeze for a week or so

Bugger.

Langley, British Columbia (West Coast of Canada). An hour east of Vancouver.

Yes please! I miss cold. And snow.

But it's not nice heat here at the moment-very humid and oppressive.

Manila, Philippine Islands. Very hot. Yum! Not sure if any other MNers here....?

(oops - meant to say originally from UK)

mvem it's very difficult, we only cane beg if November and already escaped to Seattle for a break. The isolation gets to us, we were prev in Montreal. It is expensive to leave as monopoly on flights and vancouver us 17 hr drive. On the plus side, beautiful scenery, about 4 hrs from Alaska, so will def visit there, and little to spend $ on, so should be able to save loads. The company flies us out every 6 months as well so it's not all bad. Much warmer here than Montreal so no -20 and below to cope with And the snow, we get tonnes but that is part of the fun. Supposed to be great fishing in the summer, but will also have to deal with bears then too.
