Living in Ireland and have no desire to ever leave.

I voted Europe as Ireland is in Europe and because I love screwing with polls.

Well obviously Ireland is in Europe..but it wouldn't be much of an emigration poll now would it?

As for Africa - Bollox! I knew I select 8 options for a reason but forgot Africa and then put in Arse as I had an extra option.

Oddly enough my brother got to last two for the British Antarctic Expedition - two years, no flying home. They gave it to the other fella.

Can a mod add Africa pretty please??

Yeah I know that, I just find it funny. It's so ingrained in our impression of places.

I almost broke a rib laughing when my wife once said that all rivers ultimately flow south. I asked her how she came to that conclusion, and she said "oh South is down"

Bless. She has a Masters too, admittedly not in Geography.

Nice. I hit setbacks on my transamerican journey and had to fly straight from Austin to Vegas rather than go by land.. Would still love to visit Santa Fe.
