Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas.

I'm from South Hesse, in Germany. Some of the most regarded German comedians (yes, they exist) are from around here and we have a pretty diverse culture, both traditionally German and from immigrants.

So, where do you live and how is it?

I live in the Piney Woods region of East Texas. It's wetter than what most people imagine when they think of Texas and has beautiful, towering pine trees and the rivers have knobby kneed bald cypress trees. Unfortunately, all that moisture out here comes with a lot of mosquitos, too. We still have Texas heat and humid heat is pretty miserable, sometimes I wish I lived in a desert instead but I would miss all the greenery.

I used to live in Hesse when I was very young, I started kindergarten there. Unfortunately, I barely know any German. I might have to look up those comedians for more listening practice!

Just moved from NBTX to VA after working for the state of Texas for almost 20 years. You ought to look at down that way, esp before Austin gentrifies it :)

Maybe, but Shenandoah National Park is so beautiful I might just have to follow you to VA instead! I lived in central VA for a year and it might be my favorite place I've lived in the US. Unfortunately, family has me tied down to east Texas for the time being. NB will probably be fully overtaken by Austin by the time I get out of here.
