You Belong in Amsterdam
A little old fashioned, a little modern - you're the best of both worlds. And so is Amsterdam.
Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city).
=================================================================
I've never been to Holland? I hear it's very flat and below sea level. I was looking for some elevation. I picked San Francisco as my favorite (American) place to live. Climate, natural beauty and a very progressive metropolitan area.. Maybe that's how I ended up with Amsterdam, it's reputation for personal freedom is quite renowned.
Oslo would be interesting as it's suppose to be so close to such great natural beauty and the city itself sounds sounds like it has alot to offer for the size of it's metropolitan area. And, I'd like to experience the land of the midnight sun and see what that's like. Just for a year or so mind you.
