mazakaal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 As an adult I lived in Moscow for almost a year and have lived in England for almost 9 years. I also lived in South Africa for 3 months. I don't know if that qualifies as 'lived in' or just 'visited.' :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
