Canadian (from southern Ontario) down in Texas trying to figure out if I ever become an honorary Texan (or want to:)) It’s been 10 years and counting with 1-year spent in New Mexico.

I’ll be the first to post from [Edmonton](http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=edmonton,+ab&ie=UTF8&om=1) then.

I’m certain I’ve got 2 or 3 in company here, though I seem notice many more Calgarians for some reason. Now that I think about it, perhaps I’m just seeing **featherlou** ’s info many times over. 🙂 I’ll go with the 100 guestimate, but I’m prepared to be proven way wrong.

Another Canadian here, from Saskatchewan. I think there are at least a couple other Sask people posting here. Also I think we all have Stones tickets 🙂

Shoot…that’s never happened before.

I was saying Nah, I don’t have Stones tickets. I didn’t want to go badly enough that it was worth it to me to suck up to a Riders season ticket holder.

Another Canadian. From Nunavut. As far as I know, I’m the only doper from this territory. Perhaps the only one from either territory. In fact, I don’t think there’s another doper within 1000 miles of me.

I´m the one and only representative of the Eastern Republic of the Uruguay, just Uruguay for friends.  
I hope I´m not an embarassment for my folks here. 😛

As far as I know I´m the only doper to the South of **Colibri** in South America; gee, it´s lonely here…

Originally from the US, now living in Japan.

Most of the J-Dopers are originally from elsewhere: **TokyoPlayer** is from the US as well, I think, but I can’t remember where **Hokkaido Brit** is from. 😉

The only Japanese Doper I know of is **scr4** , but he’s now in America.

There used to be more of us, but a large group, including **jovan, Tsubaki, cankerist** and **lamia** , decided not to renew.

My “of the North” stems from my living in Yellowknife. Still not within 1000 miles of you. However, I now live in Maryland, USA -although I am still Canadian.

**qwest** , there was a poster here whose name I recalled as Nunavut Boy. After you posted this I did a search of the user name, and see from the profile that you may have a former doper within 1000 miles of you if you’re anywhere near Iqaluit since that is where Nunavut Boy indicated he was from.

I’m a New Zealander, currently in Auckland but from Cambridge in the Waikato - I can think of two others I see on here: Calm Kiwi and Icewolf (or something to do with wolves). I’ve lived in Britain, Iran, Holland, Japan and Australia but British by birth, NZ by education and passport.

I thought I remembered someone from Uruguay. **Estilicon** used to post from Argentina, but he apparently hasn’t posted for a couple of years.
