    My situation is a bit stranger than most: My dad was in the US army and I was born overseas (Izmir, Turkey). Technically, both the US and Turkish governments claim me as a citizen. I was also raised (and went to school) in Italy and Germany, currently live in Atlanta and am in the process of moving to Spain. You can now see why I always hesitate when people ask me where I'm from. They look at you like "It's not that hard a question", but for me it is!

    Anyway, I guess I could be called American, Turkish, or just European.

    By the way, I became a Rockets fan when I attended UoH back in early 80's and went to the Cougar games.

    I don't know if it counts officially as a separate country yet, but I work in the People's Republic of Berkeley, CA. :D

    (Signs posted at the Berkeley city limits inform you that you are entering a "Nuclear-Free Zone." The list of holidays on parking meters includes "Indigenous Peoples Day," known to the rest of America as Columbus Day.)

    Although I have fun whenever I visit the Independent Republic of Texas, I maintain my residence in the states (Utah to be exact).

    I was born and raised in Houston, but ive been living in the United Arab Emirates, in a city called Dubai for 11 years now.

    I became a Rockets fan watching a replay of the 1994 NBA finals. that's when i switched from being a Bulls Fan to a die-hard Rocket fan. :D

    Porto Alegre, Brazil.

    Home of Grêmio Football Porto Alegre, one of Brazil's biggest and most succesfull soccer teams!

    I used to like the Blazers, but I became a fan for good when Clyde came to the Rockets, and I became addicted for life when the Chuckster arrived....

    CompaqC, UAE?

    That's cary....What are the chances?

    I'm from the UAE too, and in Dubai, LOL!


    I became a Rockets fan cause.....well.....LOL......I just looked at all the teams....and decided I liked the Rockets....

    Plus, being from the UAE, and the Rockets having a muslim by the name of Hakeem, that helped too :)

    Yo Sane!

    I swear I thought i was the only human being in Dubai who's a Rocket fan! everyone here is either a Raptor or Laker fan. At times i even felt people in this BBS didnt even know what Dubai was.

    Great to know am not all alone ;)

    Just wanted to say that I'm in the UAE, but I'm Persian. :)

    Been here since birth, but barely speak persian or arabic. My whole family speaks English, and unlike almost everyone here, without the arabic/persian accent, lol.

    I know, I was thinking the same thing!

    EVERYONE is a big-city, past-winner fan here.


    It's either Lakers/Portland/Bulls.


    LOL, Bulls fans have cooled down though, lol. Toronto should be big this time around with Vince and Hakeem. Oh, and Portland hasn't won squat, but they have all the ex-allstars, lol.


    Maybe I know you?

    Send me an e-mail, we'll talk.
