Pune, India
Crowded and monotonous metropolis with just about nothing going in its favor. I don't exactly hate it though.

I lived in Mulund, Mumbai for 2 years, went to Pune all the time. I can't stand living in India :[

Not true, and even if they do, the schooling is absolutely horrible. I remember I used to get kicked out of class for correcting teachers because it was considered disrespectful "back-talking." I'd also be treated completely unfairly because I wasn't from India and they told me I was acting like I was better than everyone else (i.e. correcting teachers and trying to help out friends with the material we were learning) because I was "a foreigner."
We were also all forced to sing a school anthem with the lyrics:
"HAIL NES," NES being the school's name.

Sounds so WWII Germany-ish

I'm from Saudi Arabia, moved to a lot of places and currently living in Mecca.
Not much going on here, it's a holy place after all. Always sunny, maybe too sunny actually. It reached 60 degrees last summer. I prefer hot over cold anyways.

140 F
Wait, what the shit!?

*JAWDROP*

IMPOSSIBLE!

[Muk666]

40 degrees is way too much for me, any higher and I would probably pass out

[Roven]

wait let me find that pic, and yes 60 degree calsious <<cant spell it

Holy crap, 60 Celsius is 140 Fahrenheit! That is most definitely impossible!

On 16 January 1889, a temperature of 53 °C (128 °F) was recorded at Cloncurry, Queensland

^hottest recorded temperature

[Roven]

thar ya go.

Well, it's probably not exactly accurate (that's my car). But it can't be off by 15 degrees or something.
My friends also recorded it at around 57-59.
Yup it's hot in here, but that was exceptionally hot. It's not always like that in here.

[rostheferret]

That's the surface temperature outside the car (everyone knows metal conducts heat) as opposed to ambient air temperature. 60C would be breaking a new world record. Just wiki it. It's probably off by a fair few degrees, though quibbling between 50C and 60C seems silly; fuckin' hot either way.

[Roven]

Not when you've already driven several kilometers it's not. Oh and did I mention that I pulled over under some shade and took this?
I hope you're right though, hate to have that kind of weather again.

I live in the middle of the ocean ... the Pacific Ocean to be exact on an island.

Hmm, idk man, sounds like you were stuck with one of those idiotic ICSE-board schools. I've was in a private CBSE school, and the teachers gave us a lot of freedom in the classroom. You could say most of teachers were practically like friends to us in high school. We even had a large number of Indians from abroad and they got treated the same as everyone else. The school anthem, well, that's somehow a staple in India although ours was in Sanskrit
The only complaint I have with my school is about the terribly imbalanced syllabus.

You're actually spot-on with the ICSE thing. I was in an ICSE->Checkpoint->IGCSE->A-level sorta system. They've since switched to "IB" and now call themselves an "IB World School" which is fucking stupid, because they know jack shit about the world. They think just because they have a connection with Cambridge means they're super-epicly international. I only did 7th and 8th grade there, until my parents figured out how fucking horrible the school was and we hauled ass out of there.
Seriously, NES International School stood for "NATIONAL Education Society INTERNATIONAL" and now it's "NES IB World School" :|
Can anyone say "contradiction"? (They probably don't even know what it means!)

Yeah, lately I've been seeing a lot of those Cambridge affiliated, supposedly "elite" schools here. Fuck elite, they're just a poor excuse to demand big cash for mediocre education.
