I've seen a similar thread as such here on the Non-AM forum page (with last post there probably made several months back), and I saw a warning wherein it says "the last post has been made over 120 days ago. You might want to start this topic as a new forum topic", and I decided sure, I'll revive this thread for good! This page is made, not only for introductions, per se, but also to get to know more about our fellow AM players who also keep up with this (strangely addictive yet) interesting simulation game.
I'm Anthony (ID# 30954), and I've been playing AM for nearly two weeks now, thanks to a supportive (and can be a little crazy) friend of mine from Singapore who's also an AM Player (wongkw). I just browsed around AM at first on what it could do for me, and as I see my bank balance grow and add more destinations from my hubs, I really got the hook of it ever since. I'm age 21 from Manila (Philippines), now currently living north of San Francisco (Marin County), and I'm pursuing a major in Urban Studies (more info on my blog at
www.anthonynachor.com/urbanstudies)
In real life, I volunteer a lot, tutoring students of many levels (middle school, high school, and college) in both San Francisco and Marin County, all while taking classes at City College of San Francisco. I also am planning to move subsequently to San Francisco State University (supposedly UC Berkeley, but the tuition is beyond my family's reach), wherein I will be pursuing my chosen major, and I love traveling around both the Bay Area and the world. Originally living in the Philippines until 18 years old, I have already traveled outside of my country, including:
- Hong Kong (twice, once on PR, the other on CX, ridden on a B747-400, A330-300, and B777-300)
- Bangkok (on AF, ridden an A340-300)
- Tokyo (on NW, ridden on a B747-400)
- San Francisco (where I an now, on PR, ridden on a B747-400)
- Boston (on UA from SFO, ridden on a B757-200)
