I can help! I'm in the Northwest (Washington) and I'm also very knowledgable about Colorado and Hawaii.

Sorry it's been so long since I've visited this thread. More health problems plaguing our little family...
We're still going to do this study. I thought with so many responses, I could come up with an overall questionaire for everyone. (I could always print out all the answers and store them away until we study that region.) Anyway, I'm interested in stuff that you can't get from a text book. Sites, smells, people... all the little quirks that make the place unique or not so unique. I also would like to see favorite pictures or anything else that you feel would be something you couldn't learn from a textbook.
I promise I'll the questionaire together. Until then, if anyone has any suggestions/ideas, please feel free to send them along!
Thanks again for the wonderful responses.

When you get that questionnaire ready, I'd be happy to help with New Zealand.  ~Anna.
Lois: Jimmy, give me back my dress.
Clark: Now there's something you don't hear around the newsroom everyday.

I have family in Hungary, Holland and Brazil and whenever we get together to better understand our daily lives we ask questions like- how many hours do you work to pay rent, buy meat, bread, milk, wine, GAS and automobiles. It gives us an understanding of the local economy. I'll never forget the folks in Hungary asking how many chickens we had at home in NJ... We told them that they were in the grocery store in neat packages.

Thought I'd commented earlier but I must have missed - I'm in London, if you need any information from this neck of the woods, but right now I'm up to my eyes in work so don't expect fast replies.

If you need anything about modern and ancient history in general I'd be glad to help! I'd also be glad to help if you are thinking of teaching them about WWII.

Although I live in California, I am Indian. I have visited India many times in my life and in fact, I will be there again in December. I would be more than happy to share some customs and pictures with you. I am also a history major, and am doing a lot of research on ancient, modern, present day South Asia. Feel free to let me know if you want to know more or see some pictures.

I'm from Washington (Hey, EditorJax) but I'm a U.S. History buff, know World Geography pretty well, have an uncle who's a missionary in Africa that I could probably ask questions of, and an aunt who just live three years in Thailand. Mozambique I know the most about right now (my uncle's there). If you need any practically useless trivia, I have plenty.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

I'd be happy to give you information about the Netherlands, Robin. Also, this website could be very helpful. There are lots of personal accounts of life in the city in there. Just check it out. Someday I'll submit a tale of mine, I think it's a very cool site. Here's the url: City Stories Ursie
Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.
Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!

Thanks everybody who's responded. This will be wonderful in filling in our map! I'm going to post the questionaire in a separate thread. Hopefully, it'll be up in a day or two. (Been really swamped with RL!)
Thanks and look for the other post!

So where's this questionnaire, SQD? I need a project.  A couple of days has turned into a few weeks. Or did I miss it somewhere else?
