I’m tired tonight, so I entertained myself with silly Internet quizzes.  Then I made Thomas take them to see how we compared.  Here’s our results:

What European City Do You Belong In?

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).

In 2004, Thomas and I backpacked from Gotland, Sweden, to Amsterdam, to Paris, and we both agreed that we should have spent more time in Amsterdam, and less time in Paris.  Gotland was cool, but more of the type of city you visit, rather than the type you live in.  I guess the quiz is accurate for us because we both scored Amsterdam.  It was a very cool city, and if you ever go, be sure to tour the Anne Frank Museum and visit Vondelpark.

American Cities That Best Fit You:

65% Austin 60% Atlanta 50% Chicago 50% Las Vegas 50% Miami

Thomas and I moved to Atlanta in 2005 after I finished grad school.  It was kind of a fluke - we weren’t looking here, but an opportunity opened up and we thought we’d check out the city for a while.  I didn’t expect for it to show up on our quiz lists, but we both got it in second place.  I don’t think I’d be interested in the other places at the bottom of my list - Chicago sounds too cold and Las Vegas and Miami sound too ritzy.

The places we were looking at when we moved here were Seattle, Portland, Austin, and Raleigh.  Seattle and Portland would be cool, but they’re a long way from family.  We both lived in Raleigh for several years, and I still think it would be a great place to live…at least Chapel Hill (neighboring town where UNC is).  I don’t think Thomas agrees.  Austin showed up at the top of my quiz list, which I think would be neat, but that’s because I’m a Texan by heart.  Thomas’ first result was Honolulu, which is so not him at all.
