For my weekend off this past week, I jumped on the school bus to Zurich. Zurich is Switzerland's business and banking capital and that's about all I knew of the city. In fact, the reason I hopped on the bus at all was because the weather forecast in Lugano was promising rain and cold.
Zurich turned out to be a really great city. Right up my alley if I must say. It's incredibly clean and filled with adorable boutiques, trendy restaurants and outdoor cafes. The streets downtown are cobblestone and narrowly fit through the historic buildings. I toured the city, saw an antiques market and walked through the Kunsthaus art museum.
The whole time I was thinking "I could live here." And I think I could, what wasn't to like? Then I started to think about all of the other cities in the world where I've visited and thought the same thing. In fact, I can hardly think of a city that I wouldn't want to live in. Is this because most cities have good qualities or because I'm really just not that picky when it comes to my location? Hopefully it's a combination of both although I think there's a bit of a "grass is always greener" mentality in there too. Maybe I think I'd be happy anywhere that I'm not currently. Who knows.

I think you would be happy anywhere that had good outdoor eating :). What was that bar in kzoo... oh yeah, shakespears! Molly went there and was like "Whats the big deal!?". But it had great pizza, decent drink selection, and a warm atmosphere. You are so well traveled you have probably seen a lot of cities that had those same great qualities.
