Sunday, October 20, 2002 by Peff | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I've been visiting WinCustomize for some time now, and know that we are a very diverse community. I was just wondering where everyone is and where they have been. I'll start:
1963 - 1965 Tairet, Algeria
1965 - 1965 Geneva, Switzerland
1965 - 1966 Rabat, Morrocco
1966 - 1969 Tunis, Tunisia
1969 - 1971 Tripoli, Libya
1971 - 1972 Houston, Texas
1972 - 1975 Bethel, Alask
1975 - 1976 South Hampton, England
1976 - 1981 Honolulu, Hawaii
1981 - 1984 Tunis, Tunisia
1984 - 1987 Honolulu, Hawaii
1987 - 1993 Chapel Hill, North Carolina
1993 - 1994 Tulsa, Oklahoma
1994 - 1995 Dallas, Texas
1995 - 1997 Chapel Hill, North Carolina
1997 - Present Jacksonville, Florida
Bottom line...met lots of people, experienced many cultures and for the most part loved every minute of it.

I was born there, but only lived there for 3 years. I'll probably be going back for the first time this winter.

Interesting ittinary Peff. All in your honour.
Just one thing puzzles me, in the Sniper thread you mentionned "I was raised in large part in France - by Peff - 10/17/2002 12:12:18 PM".
So when did you live in France?

paxx...My grandparents (on my mother's side) immigrated to France in 1962. I spent many summers there after 1966.

Cool. So you must speak many languages. At least English, French and Arabic?
My mom's second husband was Tunisian (from Sousse), and I was raised by him since I was 5 years old. He never taught me Arabic, I wish he had.

Yup...French and English fluently...Arabic (Tunisian dialect...oddly enough) and Spanish a lot less fluently. Some Italian too (not much, mind you).
Sousse is a very nice city. I've had many a meal everlooking the port El Kantaoui. The time I spent in Tunisia was perhaps the most enriching time of my life. The people are wonderful as is the country as a whole.
Where are you from? (Canada, me thinks - based on past threads). Also a truly beautiful country. I've often wanted to move there....this huuuumidd Florida weather is not my bag, baby.
Ciao

Peff, yes, I'm from Canada. Quebec, to be specific.
Lived in the Montreal area all my life, except for two years in 1986-88 where I moved to Vancouver, BC. I've never been in Tunisia, but always dreamed to visit some day. Lived in West Africa for 4 months in 1985, as part as a Canadian Governement youth project. It was quite enriching. Changed forever the way I look at different cultures.

I have lived in Leeds, England all my life (45 years), except for the couple of years I lived in Deerfield Beach, Florida, USA (about 40 miles north of Ft. Lauderdale), and the time I spent cruising the Caribbean on the huge cruise liner The Norway. (I worked for NCL cruise lines in the ship's casino)
I currently live 100 meteres from the house I was born in.
