There is a large amount of African forumers spread across the world, so post photos of where you now live, and any African communities in your town (if there are any).

I Live in The Urban-Rural Town of Burpengary in Caboolture Shire. It is 30 Minutes from Brisbane in Queensland Australia.

Most of the Jobs in The area are Construction related, and The whole area is seeing a construction boom.

Kuuala lumpur is just a terrific place! so busy,the traffic is fast paced and malls are everywhere you turn.I can't explain why malaysians are obsessed with shopping! imagine there is a mall in every town.And am not talking about small time malls!There is a street in KL called Bukit Bintang which has 5 big malls ,lined up.i'll get the pics from the malaysia thread. Though Nilai town is not as busy as KL.

Hey Ernest, i was in KL between 11 - 17th of April for a conference. I was at the Westin in 199, Jalan Bukit Bintang. Really nice city with lots of shopping malls and a nice airport!!

I live in Sacramento, capital of the state of California in the USA. Tree City USA. The city with more trees per capita than any other city in the WORLD except Paris. California would have the 6th largest economy in the world if it were a country. The Sacramento area has the 15th largest economy in America. City population is about 450,000 and Metro area is 1.7 million.

Here are some more really good aerial photos of Sacramento. Link would not post but click here (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=121291).

And below is San Francisco which is where I work (90 miles / 145 km from Sacramento). I lived here for a couple of years too and this is without a doubt the most beautiful and picturesque city in America. It is my second home.

I live in Hartford, Connecticut, in the states. It's about 185km northeast of New York City.

In the past, I spent quite of time living in New York, and Toronto in Canada.

http://pix.epodunk.com/locatorMaps/ct/CT_9171.gif

Being a skyscraper-fan, Hartford fills my temptations...it has a great skyline for a city with only 125,000 people. The metropolitan area, however, has 1.3 million people.

Skyline...

http://www.gravitysmith.com/pics/Connecticut/Hartford.jpg

There aren't much Africans here (although we have a large West Indian population, mostly Jamaicans), but Africans have a small presence in East Hartford, a suburb of Hartford. There are a few restaurants and stores that are mostly from immigrants from Ghana.

^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ There are a whole lot of Liberians over there........RI, CT, MA,

^ Yes, there are...plenty came as refugees, I can't believe I forgot about them.

There are also some Somali Bantus, but a lot of them moved to Ohio since coming here.

There is a street in KL called Bukit Bintang which has 5 big malls ,lined up.i'll get the pics from the malaysia thread. Though Nilai town is not as busy as KL.

Nilai -- that's 50 km south... I live in Shah Alam, a suburb town which is just 25 km west of KL :banana:

Very nice pics of various places in Australia, USA and others.

did you visit any of the Clubs?there is a clubbing district called Bangsar and also a street full of club next to the Jalan bukit area.Next time your around ask for a club called Club Sugar,the best in KL.(though very pricey,a glass of beer for around 5 USD)

Houston Texas....My home sweet home.......Largest city in the state of Texas and the 4th largest city in america.....houston has the largest Nigerian population in the country and the 2nd largest south africans behind miami.

Are you Nigerian?

Are you Nigerian?

Oh cool, I thought you were an African American.

Nilai -- that's 50 km south... I live in Shah Alam, a suburb town which is just 25 km west of KL :banana:


Skyprince, you won't believe it but I know a girl who used to live in Shah Alam! :)

Oh cool, I thought you were an African American.

you can say that cuz i was born in nigeria...but lived most of my life in the USA.....so im very americanize....but i still love my motherland.

i know shah alam, i think i know two or three malaysians from from there.Have you been to nilai lately?lots of new apartments cropping up.The place was a dead town but in the last couple of years it has really developed.though it needs a big mall.

I just " passed " Nilai on my way to Singapore , but the town has developed so quickly ! I think after 5 years it will become like PJ or Shah Alam.

Nilai was developed due to its proximity to KL International Airport :banana:

As far as I know, here is the 'unofficial ' African population ( that I recognize :lol: ) in Shah Alam city where i live:

Egyptian -- 50 +
Nigerian -- 5
Kenyan -- 10 ( 5 from one family )
Malawian -- 3
Zimbabwean --1

But in central KL I believe there are thousands ! ( I greet many of them , mostly Kenyans )

Skyprince, you won't believe it but I know a girl who used to live in Shah Alam!

Thanks Anton, well... Shah Alamians rockzzzz :banana: :banana:
