Im from Two Cities. One in the US Green Bay, WI and the other Yellowknife Canada. Born on the Canadian Border between the Flags of both Nations and raised in both cities. Green Bay is simple Packers NFL and Cheeseheads. Yellowknife land of the midnight sun and Arctic fun and northern lights.

This is a great topic idea, great to see different places. Here, my beloved Kasukabe, as seen from a bicycle. I warn you, this is not for those who get motion-sickness! :)

Not my video, I never could get the hang of bikes, least of all in a big-city. Starts off in Kasukabe Station, taking a tour through the city, and ends back at the Station.

I wish I had a decent video of my nearest hometown, Danville, Virginia. I made a compilation of the good and the bad for YouTube using stills. the good would be the network of hiking and biking trails in the city, the bad is the disappearance of textile and tobacco, which was king and the major employers of this now economically depressed city.

Well, it's great as a tourist attraction, but try being about my age and not boring yourself to death in this 50000 inhabitant overgrown villlage. :kilroy:

At least it's cheap to live here and the university is quite good...yet, I'm sooo moving away once I've got my Bachelor's degree.


Need to see this "real" city (= visit my parents) more often.

The editing in this video is terrible and obviosly the mic recording hasn't been added in this sample, but the images portray pretty well this little market town.

Starts checking airline tickets prices to Pittsburgh. ;)

Nice city Cloud9Gal. I went there once and enjoyed my trip. It is a beautiful area. If I ever go back, I would love to find a nice restaurant overlooking the water. I bet the view at night is spectator.

BTW- If you want to see where I am from, just go back and look at Scratch's video again. Nice thread Scratch!

Well you asked for it; a promotion video from the village I was born, grew up and still live in. Before you all think that there are only hotels, conference centres and restaurants.... there are 25,000 people living in this village and working eiter in the village or in the surrounding area. Most of these people have nothing to do with hotels or conference centres and only have to live with the annoyance of being visited by millions every year!

But is actaully quite nice to live this close to the sea.

Yeah, I know. It looks like a gross Dino-turtle, but trust me the finished product on your plate is to die for. We have a recipe for everything that moves through land, sea, and air here:icon_lol:
That's why we don't have a UFO problem here. It's because the aliens know that as soon as they land somebody will put on a pot of rice:jump:

Ok... This could be bad.. But here it goes.

First, put on some sun glasses. Welding goggles preferably. This will protect your retna from Omega band radiation light emmiting from the monitor.

Next, drape some aluminum foil over your chest area and forehead to prevent radiation burns from occurring.

Finally, click on this link. It has a very strange voice narration, but all the facts are there.

Yes, we are called Phoenicians (fee-nee-shions). Also, radioactive patients, burn victims, temp tested, dusty people basically.

(the land of dust and cactii, where people are high temp tested and your power bill from the AC running comes to near the cost of house payments.. arrgh.. Life on Mars!)

Oh man.. Well, at least you are arriving in the heat of the summer. Heavy on the human body.

Have fun on your stay. I hope your sister has double pained glass windows. Helps on the electric bills.

Hi guys,

great idea and some neat videos!

Here's a nice HD video I found showing an approach over my town (Sidney) into CYYJ. The restaurant at the Victoria Flying Club (last minute of the video) is a favorite hangout of yours truly.

Hey,

two vids showing my little home town, Lomza. Small, 60k city in the NW part of my country. While I don't live there anymore, I come there often, visiting my parents. Movies were taken from ultralights as once a year there are ultralight competitions.
