Danae has an interview coming up with someone she'd be working with in Hong Kong. Would I be happy living in Hong Kong for a year or two? There are a lot of protests and disruption happening right now, and there are some human rights issues. English is commonly spoken there, and it's a very dense urban area where the majority of people use public transit. I looked around in Streetview a little, but I don't think I can really imagine what it would be like, being somewhere so different. But I've always wanted to see more of the world.

After I wrote that, she told me she got a note from a professor she'd be working with in Amsterdam. That email sounded promising! I'm not sure exactly why, but I feel like I'd be happier in Amsterdam than in Hong Kong, even if I need to learn Dutch.
