in reply to poll ideas quest
It would be fun to know were people are living. There's a very old poll, I live in this Continent (node id 2142!), but that one only focused on continents.
I suggest the following regions (people should pick the closest match):
America
- USA
- Canada
- South America
Asia
- China (incl. HK), Taiwan, Singapore
- India
- Japan
- North/South Korea
- South-East Asia
- Asia
Europe
- France
- Germany
- Great Britain
- Italy
- Netherlands
- Russia
- Spain
- Sweden
- Eastern Europe
- Northern Europe
- Southern Europe
- Western Europe
Middle East
(I know this is not a continent, but I'm not sure where to include it)
- Israel
- Middle East
Oceania
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Oceania
Rest of the world
- Africa
- Arctica
- Antarctica
Of course, I don't want to discriminate against anyone here. This is just a trade-off between a list that will allow the majority of monks to choose their country of orign and having a list that is too long. Just reply to this node or /msg me to specify countries or regions that you feel should be specifically included. Or /msg me if you feel the list is too long :).
The question should be "Where do you live?", rather than "Where are you from?", since quite a number of people probably hail from a different country than they currently live in.
