Where in the World, do you fold from?

According to the Pande Groups stats, there are lots of people all over the world contributing to the fold.


I would like to have asked this by country, but the poll is limited to ten, and that may be easier than listing a hundred or so individual countries. Let's do a poll by regions of the world, and why not list where you fold from down in a post. I fold from Dizzy-land, Southern California, an island to its own.

For a graphical look according to the Pande Group see, Folding at Home's maps page and they have a list of current countries
and current folders by State / Territory. (USA & Canada)

And just incase here are some reference maps to figure it all out...

Africa - maps/africa
Asia - maps/asia
Southeast Asia - maps/southeast_asia
Oceania - Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific Islands - maps/oceania
Europe - From the Atlantic to the Urals - maps/europe
Middle East - maps/middle_east
Way North America / Canada, Greenland - maps/north_america
North America / USA - maps/united_states
Central America and the Caribbean - maps/central_america
South America - maps/south_america

Ok, just to make this more interesting... How about posting where you come from, with some links to show off your territory...

O.K. so I managed to screw up in the poll :laugh: and consequently it looks like no-one here lives north of the border. Just to put he records straight here's a look at where I live.

Neuville, one of the 10 most beautiful villages in Quebec.

Official site Ville de Neuville

Quebec Area

I have some photos from around here on my Homepage site, with more to add during the winter months.

While using a weather App, "Earthbrowser" which also contains Cams of the world. I thought it might be fun to list a few "Clean" Web Cams from around the world, or where we fold from, or where we would like to fold from...

For myself this is just a short jaunt down the road, to Laguna Beach

This is a spot I try to hit a few times a year, summer excluded, Turtleback Cam

And this was home for many years, by the Bay and where my heart remains, although my soul is warmer in So Cal's Orange County.

Here a link to a listing that contains lots of them, technik-webcam (Some of the links don't work well, others work great on my Mac)

Let's "collect" countries!  If you fold for our International Team and are not yet registered on this site, please do so and tell us what part of the world you are from. Registration is a painless process and takes only a minute. Fold on - world-wide - and for a great cause!

I live just outside of Richmond, Virginia, USA in the Historic Village of Midlothian. Virginia is about half way up the Eastern U.S. Coast. Pictures may follow later. It's a pretty place but not particularly exotic.  :;):

I'm Folding right here with Jimmy Buffet in the sport fishing capital of the world eating my cheeseburger in paradise and wasting away in Margaritaville.

:laugh:

Since that qualifies as being in the Carribean, that's what I selected, we don't recognize the "mainland" anyway.  :biggrin:

Well as you may or may not know, I live in Cambridge. However, during the term I live in LONDON!!!!!!

Here's a map of where I live in London. Its the blue rectangle called Great Dover Street Apartments.

And here is a virtual tour thing so you can see where I learn!!

As for Cambridge, well Here is an aerial view. Its at the end of the yellowy squiggly road you see there. On the right hand corner of that T-Junction.
