Gotta say, Jamaica was an amazing place to live, long as you have the cash.
And internet. The greatest treasure I discovered after relocating to the states.
I'd be very surprised if there were African people on GW.
Well my parents are from Africa, so i'll represent that continent.
But you have already posted as a Portuguese, as I an Australian. No turning back now.

Mexico....

PAL... PAL... PAL...
I think Junior's spelling of "programme" is more revealing. That's a British English spelling, suggesting that Junior is likely from Canada, the UK, or somewhere else that uses British rather than American English as the standard. However, she used 'color' instead of 'colour' in another thread, so I'd say probably Canada for the mixed usage of British and American.
As for me, I'm currently living in Vancouver, but that will likely change soon. I tend to move every 6-8 months.
That makes no sense whatsoever. She didn't name the country because supposedly people wouldn't believe her or would be grossly misinformed about it. Canada hardly sounds like a probable location of origin for such misgivings.
If you believe Wikipedia, a currency called dollar is in use in a variety of places, and some of them might fulfill the condition Junior presented as being considered either unlikely or people would know nothing about it. That is, if those quotes were the correct ones, and she's simply not referring to making online purchases from American net stores.
*shrugs* It was a linguistic observation only. Statistically, Canadians are the worst culprits for mixing together their British and American spellings, and being completely inconsistent about the way they use them.
Junior, I wouldn't be worried about saying where you're from. South Africa is a seriously cool place. People who see Africa as starving children, mud huts, and roaming lions reveal only their own ignorance. I have a number of friends from assorted African countries, and the principal of my high school was from South Africa. All very motivated and intelligent people. You've proven yourself on this forum to be the same. Telling us where you're from doesn't change who you are.
There's way too many countries using the "dollar" to make an intelligent guess. Do mods have access to the forum logs? We can always do a whois search on her IP.

No can do.
Wow, you guys are so observant. And good at analyzing. ^^;
Alright, here I go...
I got that slang from my Mother who's Mother is European. (Sorry, but my slang and such isn't a good thing to compare since people here think I'm a foreigner. ^^; )Other than "bucks" and recognising 200 dollars is a good deal, I can't see any clues. What cultures use "bucks"?
Well...that and to order things on the net, I gotta know my $.
You're so clever KitKat! 'Colour' is actually the correct spelling here.(I just...change constantly)I think Junior's spelling of "programme" is more revealing.

But yes, we do use British spelling here. =)
I once knew a mod on a forum that did that because he didn't believe me when I told him.Do mods have access to the forum logs? We can always do a whois search on her IP.
*sigh* You know, it isn't such a big thing, but people have a hard time believing we have technology here and live like normal people. (Bolded for effect. Yes.)
(On a side note, my dad's friend who came to visit from over seas said he couldn't believe how 'normal' we are. He expected animals to be roaming everywhere and for us to be living in huts with our pet lions) *le sigh*
I think I might have said too much
That colourful description can't mean anything but Africa. India used to have lions but the Brits turned them all into pelts before the fireplaces. Probably eastern or southern Africa, because most of the lions live there, as far as I know.
Bingo! You're correct! One of those areas. (Feels like a "Guess the country!" game)
If you guys guess correctly, then I didn't really tell you. So...all's good. I guess. =)
Well, we use PAL here but not any of those countries. XDAfter you said you needed to wait for a PAL version of a game they insist on suggesting Canada, Mexico or South America. Hehehe.
Doesn't really matter from where you are. Cool people is cool wherever they live. And if they think less of you from where you are its their loss. I know about that. Been there. I've been told off in several places because of 'age' and because of being mexican. I just laugh at them
Thanks RZ. =) But people can be ridiculously ignorant or just plain...weird.(I remember I told a friend and he was like: "Really? You don't look like you are of that descent. Are you lying?"
...although, I don't think I should worry too much about GotWoot. I personally feel you guys could care less where I'm from.
South Africa?
funny that my frenchy french woman of wife almost had a job there... when she doesn't know any other language than french (I can even say language from burgundy, the region from France she comes from)
Hard to tell the image we get from SA, it beetween the apartheid, the black guy fighthing for justice out of jail, guns and criminality etc... stereotypes I guess.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Awesome! You know there's life here then!
Well, that's pretty much this place summed up.(especially black guy fighting for justice XD) And bravo for knowing about the Apartheid! =) That was the worst thing this country ever went through. That, and our last president...
Are they? Hehehe
After you said you needed to wait for a PAL version of a game they insist on suggesting Canada, Mexico or South America. Hehehe
Doesn't really matter from where you are. Cool people is cool wherever they live. And if they think less of you from where you are its their loss. I know about that. Been there. I've been told off in several places because of 'age' and because of being mexican. I just laugh at them
Europe>Norway
When i said on WoW that i was from Poland people didn't believe me that we have electricy here...
I guess - New Zeland, but one thing does not fit here(the one bolded for effect - its pretty obvious to that country), they use dollars, it was if i remember correctly British colony.
