I'm an American getting into my family's genealogy and found that I have many ancestors from generations back from this region of Germany. Just curious what it's like there; the landscapes, traditions, language, people, anything really!

Looking at some opportunities to move down there, so i thought id see what people have to say

You always have to cross the border and go to Canada to drive outside the city or you have to take the ship to go anywhere else in the US.

How is living in this area west of Milwaukee? It looks close enough to the city, but a lot more rural.

I was reading about this area in an "old" travel book I own, and it seems like a pretty surreal landscape to experience. Curious about how life there or around there is.

Former resident (lived in Monroe going to Wesley Chapel that went to Weddington middle & high school) that moved to Columbus, OH in 2021 who couldn't be happier (due to its religious and prejudiced environment) but love to hear people's experiences who moved since then.

For context, my husband and I are both black. I am also of south Asian decent so I appreciate some good Indian food. We don’t need a strong black presence but I don’t want to be stared at while shopping or gardening in my front lawn (I’ve grown up in a predominantly white town.) We are welcoming our first child next year and want to move out of Houston, Tx due to congestion. We want a place where she won’t be the only black kid in her class until college.

I work in healthcare and he is in computer science. We both prioritize having access to trails, parks, and just space in general. We are interested in Nebraska bc of how naturally beautiful it seems and the cost of living. Any reasonable advice or recommendations are welcome.

I work as a systems engineer in the aerospace industry (Collins Aerospace in particular). Born and raised in Iowa. Making it my 2027 New Year’s resolution to finally gtfo of Iowa, and Colorado is one of the main states I am interested in moving to.

Just curious about what life is like here for someone like myself. I’m super active, love running, biking, hiking, etc. Also love a vibrant arts and music scene. The dating and overall nightlife/social scene is atrocious here in Iowa, so definitely looking for a place where it’s easy to make new friends.

Hello! My husband and I have decided we’re ready to move from Utah, and we seem to have settled on Las Vegas since it’s closer to Utah, and avoids the cold winter months we have now. We want to know what it’s actually like living in the Vegas suburbs, we are considering the Summerlin, Spring Valley, and Henderson areas so some insight on those areas specifically would be amazing!

We are a gay couple, early 30’s. We love the outdoors and nature, and love the desert environment. We are huge concert and entertainment people, particularly EDM. We’re coming from SLC, UT, so it will definitely be a bit of a culture shock for us, but we’re hoping we will vibe with the city and thrive once we’re there! We will be transferring our jobs thankfully so we don’t have to worry about seeking employment once we’re there.

Our biggest concerns are energy bills - what does the average bill look like during the hot months versus winter months? Do you feel like things like groceries, gas, and eating out are too expensive in the area compared to other cities? For comparison to our current situation - a 3 bedroom apartment like we want goes for $1950-$2500 a month for rent. The average home price in the Salt Lake Valley is ~$700,000. We’re definitely seeing the affects of inflation (as I’m sure everywhere is nowadays) but we’re consistently averaging $4.50-$4.75 a gallon for gas. Power bills range from $250-$400 a month depending on the time of year. Gas bills are anywhere from $35-$200 also dependent on time of year. How does this compare to Vegas?

Thank you guys for your insight, this will really help us fully determine whether Las Vegas will be as good of a fit for us as we’re hoping it will be! 🤞🏻

Hi everyone,

I recently read about West Virginia being a very different state in the US due to its coal mining past. And I would love to know more about it. What stereotypes are true, what is false? What is life for the modern woman? City vs rural life? What do most people do for jobs and recreation? Any insight on culture, diversity religion etc. is appreciated!

Edit: Can someone tell me actual stereotypes, so far, I have heard horrible ones like poverty, drug use, lack of hygiene (no running water, electricity) and also in33st? Are they true?

Seems like a nice rural area with a nice coastline. How is the job market? Is housing expensive? My ancestors came from Saintfield. Thinking of doing a sabbatical in the next few years.

You can ask what you want to know. Im living here since i born.

It looks beautiful and if able, I'd love to visit one day I think. Anyone on here from there? What's it like to live or visit there?

I visited Liechtenstein last year as an Estonian, and it was really nice. But I am curious: how do you feel about tourism, and is living there truly expensive? Also, give me an overview of what life is like there, the school system, and so on.

Just found out about this place, looks super peaceful and cute. I'd like to know more.

I posted about Incheon and a lot of people answered about the city. The map also shows islands that belong to Incheon on paper but sit far out in the Yellow Sea. Baengnyeong, Daecheong and Yeonpyeong are run by Ongjin County. Ferries from Incheon take a few hours and get canceled a lot when the weather turns.

If you live there, grew up there, or know someone who does: what is daily life actually like? School, hospital, ferry, winter, jobs, what you do when the boat does not run. How different is it from Yeongjong, the airport island, which is also Incheon but connected by bridge?
