We've all asked this at one time or another, but since I'm kinda asking everyone questions, why not go ahead and ask from what part of this globe you are from?
You can go as close as city, or as far away as country. Like I'm in the US, or I'm in the US/Midwest, or I'm in the US Cincinnati, OH.

I'm not a Luxembourger (no Hamburger/Yummy jokes, thank you....) yet, but I applied for nationalization last fall. For the coming two years I'll still be a Belgian. My friend always referred to me as "The Luxembourger" and I took that name with pride. My passport says I'm Belgian, but my heart says I'm a Luxembourger.

I don't think that the mixture of languages is so bizzare. It is essentially the related to the fact that it's so small, is surrounded by countries with different languages. Apart from that, many institutions of the European Union are based here, resulting in a culturally diverse population

Luxembourgish (never figured out how to write it in Luxembourgish itself, I know how to say it and your spelling is pretty accurate), is indeed quite an oddball language. We used to kid that you just take French

There are so many "edge cities" and created locales (like Reston, which was built from scratch) that Fairfax is largely meaningless.

Technically, I live in Escondido and work in Mira Mesa, but no one's heard of those city-towns outside of San Diego.
Born on Fort Jackson, in Columbia, SC. Raised in a suburb of Columbia called "Irmo", as well as Augusta, GA (from age 7-20). Went to GA Tech for a brief time, so I guess I can list Atlanta, as well. Since Adulthood, lived in Union (SC, yes where that lady drowned her kids), and Landrum (SC, right where I-26 goes into NC). Moved to San Jose (CA -- lived in San Jose proper, not Cupertino, etc.)

Atlanta's ... well, it is what it is. It's the civilized part of the South. It's the place where people from other parts of the country can live in their crowded suburbs and think they're living in the South, with all of its 'rustic charm', etc. My great-aunt used to have a piece of land in Conyers, and it used to be a half-hour drive to Atlanta from Conyers. Now, Conyers is *in* Atlanta. *sigh*
There are things I miss about the South; Chick-Fil-A, Sweet Iced Tea, waitresses who call you "Honey" and "Darlin

There's something that's even MORE laid back about San Diego versus everywhere else in California. I think it's due to the weather and the surfers, but I could be wrong.
I'm still the most uptight person in my group, as I come from the East, and specifically, the South, but I'm much too laid back to be able to live on the East Coast again.
