I finally figured out how to work this board. I am from Lima,Oh, also lived and went to college in Columbus, madridman. Moved to Chicago lived in the city (Bucktown) for a few years, then out to the suburbs, Naperville. Leaving for Madrid on April 24.

wow, my uncle lives in Lima. My mom's side of the family is from Bellefountaine, ring a bell? it's very small.

Matador, I am going on the Salamanca trip with UMass-Amherst. It should be a great trip! Good to see other people from Boston on this forum.

Wow, Lima is very small and Bellefountain is even smaller, but very familiar with both. I haven't lived there in thirty years, but all my aunts, uncles and cousins are still there and we visit many times during the year.

I'm originally from the southern Colorado and northern New Mexico areas, but now reside in the Washington, DC metropolitan area with my family.

Well, "yall"

I'm from Mississippi, and nobody knows any towns here, but I am a student at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss).

Don't know what I'm going to do when I study abroad when people think I'm a Yanqui, which technically I'm not!

Hhahahahaha... Michael Allen, you'll probably grind your teeth everytime they call you a "yanqui"! hahaha.. It doesn't bother me because I AM a yankee, but for a southerner like you!! That's too much. I'm sure you'll do fine in Valencia. Good luck!

Born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii. Lived in Chicago for one year, and now Washington D.C. for 2 1/2.

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this 'MMan-experience'(can you say that?). I was home sick with 'gripe' and of course feeling miserably, when entirely by chance I've discovered this awesome forum. Hey MMan, I was a senior in Bowling Green H.S., Ohio; and even though some call it 'Boring Green' I had the best time!!, so I'll always be thankful to Ohioans like yourself!
I'm a 30 year-old madrileña.
