Where do you come from?

Does anyone come from anywhere exotic?

I'm from NSW with ancestors from England (not very exotic)

De ja vu.. Martini had a thread on this topic not that long ago.

The thread has now reverted to chicken/egg quandary

My paternal grandmother was born in Melbourne but her family returned to the UK when she was young.

My family comes from the UK. I was born in Nigeria and lived for varying lengths of time in the UK, Uganda (fled in 1971), Fiji, Solomon Islands and arrived here in 1981.

Glad your family survived the American invasion spot

Lovely place, I ran a few eBay courses there, ate in a beautiful Nepalese restaurant there, probably one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in. The Indian in the main strip was ok if they turned off the indian music.

Not really exotic, but I was born in Tokyo and our family is from Denmark. 

My uncle has traced our family back to year 1100 and my grandmother is direct descendant from Von Barner family.

There is a private castle in Denmark that's still in the family. Complete with moat all the way around.

Denmark is my husbands favourite place in the world, I would like to get to Japan one day now that it is affordable.
