I live in California now, but I was born in Illinois. My dad was the son of German immigrants, and my mom was 3/4 European descent and 1/4 Chippewa Indian. I am blonde and fair skinned but my brother and my son both look more Native American.

I know only a few words of German, although my dad didn't learn English until he went to school at age 6. But I live in an area that is heavily populated by immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries, mostly Mexicans but also South American and Central American countries. I took Spanish in high school, and I have learned lots more Spanish both in my neighborhood and also at school (I am a teacher and about 1/3 of my class is from Spanish-speaking families now.)

Some of the things I love about my own cultural heritage are the music, the cooking, and especially the Christmas holiday traditions of the Germans. Many of the things we Americans associate with Christmas originated with the Germans. I love my special Christmas ornament collection; every year when I get out the ornaments, I feel like I am seeing old friends again. And I started my own kids on the tradition: each year they receive a special ornament, so that when they start a family of their own, they have something special, with special memories, to share with their own spouse and kids.

But I also embrace the cultures around me. Because I teach so many Hispanic children, I am very happy to be involved in their own special celebrations of the holidays. I have acquired painted tin ornaments from my Mexican students, and I love putting them on the tree.

And I think that's what America is really about - finding a way to include people and traditions from places all over the world. By embracing our diversity, we become stronger.

I am a proud Australian. I speak English. I am of aboriginal descent.
I live in a small inland country town in NSW on the east side of Australia and on the east side of Great Dividing Range, Pop, 23.000. The town itself prides itself on its beautiful parks and gardens, well, they were beautiful. Its very dry here and it hasnt rained for some time. The town has been on harsh water restrictions for nearly 4 years but you learn to live with it.
It is common to smile and say "hello" to passers by or hold a door for an elderly person but I think this may be small town mentality rather than uniquely australian.
We have a low crime rate which is suprising, given the high unemployment rate.
Australia has so much to offer, we have got it all from rolling green hills, rain forests, deserts, tropical islands, grasslands, beautiful beaches, lots of standard tourist attractions e.g. Uluru (Ayers Rock) and spectacular reefs but I think what makes us unique is the people and their relaxed attitude, sense of fairness and a love of the BBQ/ beach/outdoor/ beer drinking lifestyle that makes Australia a great place to visit. Most aussies are open and ready and willing to converse about anything with anyone.

I am from NH and am Native American. I am blackfeet/Navajo. Blackfeet from my mom's side and Navajo from my dads. I speak english more than anything. Some french and some spanish. Very little navajo. NH is a very wooded Sate especially in the nothern part of the state. Beautiful country and many different tourist attractions. I love the Cog Railways and the 5 hr trip to the top of the mountains the best. You gotta try that one some day.

i live in illinois. I live in a small town an hour out from St.Louis. Everyone in my town is basically caucasian and our public schools are just like private schools but still cheap. The private school that u would see in Chicago is the same kind of public schools my town offers so our private schools are basically the same but have fewer people. My town is a great place to grow up. hardly any violence, drugs, sexual offenders, or any crime is in my town. Also, the town is very well kept and pretty. We have a great fire department, great stores but no shopping malls or anything just 2 grocery stores, a few family owned department stores, a sports store, a couple flower shops, 3 banks, and some other random family owned buisnessed like cellular phone store, washing machine store, ect. Also, my family is Irish. We have a big Irish backround but I am caucasian. Everyone in my town speaks English. And life is pretty great here but u gota drive a half hour to go shopping for clothes unless u shop online. Also, I am 14 and I love my town and culture. O, and everyone in my town is basically got money, wat I mean by that is, Everyone has a well balanced life style and can afford NICE clothes from name brand stores. My town has 4000 people in it.

I live in NYC, but I was born in the Grenada. I'm of Afro-Caribbean and European ancestry. I speak English, but I know a few words in patois from my mom/grandma (it was colonized by the Dutch, French, and British at one point or another, but it's mostly anglophone).

NYC.. well, I think everyone knows what that's like :D
It's loud, fast-paced, overcrowded, but still a fun place to live, especially if you appreciate diversity.

If you are looking for people from other than English speaking countries you will probably have to go on one of the international
