Where were you born and raised?

Options
Since there are people from all over on this site, it would be fun to see where others were born and raised and what Native Languages are represented if other then English.

I was born and raised in KRALENDIJK, BONAIRE. (Small Island in the Carribean off the coast of Venezuela). Native Language: Papiamento.

    I was born and raised in Florida. We are a rare breed (a lot of people are transplants here, mostly Northerners).

    In my particular area, the native language is Ghetto Redneck. I, myself, prefer proper English. But there are many different places where the primary language used is Spanish. Take Miami, for instance. :laugh:

    I was born in CA but lived in ID my whole life basically. I was raised at a ski resort... I have lived a good life. :)

    Parents are your typical Americans. Been here since the colonies were started. We moved out west to be apart of the amazing ski resort atmosphere out here. My family lives, breathes, and eats the sport.
