Where did you grow up?

Where did you grow up? And what did you like most about it?

For me, it was the lushness of the Northwest.

I grew up in Melbourne, Australia. Now that I'm living in LA, the thing I miss the most about where I grew up is the weather. I love LA, but almost every day here is the same - warm and sunny. It's nice at first, but I miss the varied weather we used to have where I grew up. And I especially miss the rain - it never rains here!

I grew up in Guangzhou, China. I like it because it's convenient to go anywhere without having to drive or take the bus. I like the atmosphere because I was born in a city where there were a lot of people.

Rechovot, Israel is where I was born and then I moved to Dallas, Texas when I was 3. I grew up in the suburbs of Richardson before later moving to Plano.

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and I still live here. It's a great place to live because it's near the beach, I'd like to move closer to the beach, to a walking distance.

Bosnia. It's a small war-torn country in southeastern Europe. While it has beautiful nature with forests and mountains, there are remnants of the war everywhere. Minefields, destroyed buildings, charred forests... But the people never changed. Everyone has a good heart and will always help you in times of need. We also have great local food and a very strong drink named rakija, which can be described as American moonshine, only more potent.

I spent the first few years of my life in India before moving to New Zealand. Very cold, but I love it. Wellington is my home now, and it's a nice place. Really small and nothing ever happens, but that's they way I'm used to now, so it's okay.

I grew up on the the Spice Island of Grenada. The thing I loved most about my island is the abundance of natural beauty that surrounded me. While some people had fantasies about visiting paradise, I woke up to that reality every day. In the movies, I see people waking up to the sound of alarm clocks, but for me, I wake up to the sound of beautiful parrots flying over head, which can sometimes be equally annoying.

Oh my god! I really don't understand how you could say that. I would love to live in a country where the sun is shining 24/7 non-stop! The weather of Germany is soo cold, rainy and just making one to hate everything around itself. So, be glad of the weather you guys are having on LA because some people are longing for it in colder areas

Oregon 60 miles from the pacific ocean, its very lush and green

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

And I especially miss the rain - it never rains here!

My favorite was in the US Army and we moved around a lot. I even lived several years in Europe, I mostly grew up in Los Angeles. We used to have a heavy rainy season. It would rain so hard that some of the houses in Malibu would float out into the ocean. The weather in Southern California has drastically changed.

I grew up in Kansas and Missouri, in the middle of nowhere, hunting on my back property. That was my favorite thing about it. Being so far in the middle of nowhere that I shot my first turkey out my parents bedroom window and ran outside in my slippers. Haha. Living in Chicago and being able to almost touch my neighbors house from my house makes me really miss that!

I've grown up (and still live) in Wellington, New Zealand. When I was younger, I quite liked how small and quiet it was (comparatively, it's still a lot bigger than most cities in NZ), but now it's a bit too quiet. I do still like how easy it is to get to places, since everything's quite close.

I love rain. That's the reason I don't want to move a place where you don't really see but the sun. I like the sun once in a while, especially during the summertime. However, I don't see myself can live in a place where rain pretty much doesn't appear. I do like Los Angeles because there's a Disneyland there. I want to visit Australia someday!

 

[Springtime]

I grew up in Hong Kong. It is a compact city with a population of about 7 million. A lot of people say that it is the paradise for dining and shopping.

 

[Shortie]

I grew up in a small town in England, UK. When I was a kid it was an amazing place to live and we were always proud of where we lived and where I grew up. Unfortunately, through the years it has become a bad place to live with a lot of crimes and a lot of issues.

If I could move now I would but it's not something that is possible right now.
