Never been to the beach? Wow, that's pretty hard to imagine!:Þ And what about lakes, have you ever been to a lake? They have beaches too!

Also, that reminds me of a movie, but I can't remember which one! Argh, that is so frustating!

Yup, its Wisconsin for me...actually a little town that claims to have invented that lovely treat The Hamburger (yechhh)...actually we have an annual Burgerfest (a fair held in honor of that dead cow patty) and currently hold the record for largest hamburger in the world according to the Guinness Book of World records (is that the name of the book?). The last time they made the huge burger was two years ago and the hamburger was like 2 tons or 4 tons or some really large amount of meat...i know what a waste of perfectly good meat...it was eaten however by our town's 3,000 people...lol

Just for the record, I hate red meat...

Isn't my town cool...????

I know, I plan to move far far away soon...

But i really like Wisconsin and the USA...but...

Hey Ju-Deoh, I went to France this spring. I visited Paris, Caen, Giverny, Quimper, and stayed with a family in Moelan-sur-mer. I loved it!!!!! I really liked seeing the ocean for the first time at Omaha beach in Normandie!!!! My Grandpa was part of force U in the D-Day invasion, so it was cool seeing the thjose beaches!!! I loved visiting France, and I really want to go back again soon to improve my horrible french speaking skills...

I love in the U.S. over in Kentucky. The place I live in is a small place, but about 10 min away from a small mall and such. I live about 20 min away from a river and downtown where the river is there is a place called media works, and I go down there every weeked. They have DDR and Counter-Strike and other games. Its fun. Well that's about it for me. One more thing, I live like on a nice little dead end road and ther isint much to do here. But I'm the type of person to either go to Media Works... the mall to look for Anime or to stay home on the computer. :typing:
