For me, it's the Netherlands, Amsterdam and Utrecht (with a small, but healthy doses, of London and Paris tossed in).

Fri, November 14, 2003 - 11:12 PMwow, you were in uzgorod, or however you spell it? lewis and clark had an overseas program there, but rather than suffer in the cold, beak far east of russia, i opted for the hungary program. loved it so much, i made it my on and off again home for too many years. i speak a fair amount of hungarian, serbian, croatian, german, russian and french due to a lot of evenings in bars with internationals. trying to encapsulate the decade in a book i'm procrastinating on. i had a love/hate relationship with the place. my real passion was further south, in the balkans. my series on life in belgrade can be found here: www.beocity.com/surviving/ -

Re: all members should post where they've lived
Thu, November 20, 2003 - 1:25 PMOne of the Oregon state schools had an established semester/year abroad Hungarian studies program with Jozsef Attila University for many years. My school, Lewis and Clark (based in Portland), was on the trimester system and because it was a private school, they paid Jozsef Attila's Hungarian studies program to design a separate condensed course that was more Central European in focus and organize accomodations with families if we wanted to immerse in Hungarian. Besides Szeged, we had study trips to Transylvannia (Romania), Western Hungary and Poland, where we had a three week academic program. The program has been discontinued through LC but I think it still goes on through the OSU or UofO.

Mon, January 5, 2004 - 2:44 PMin glorious Paris. It's a wonderful jumping pad for the rest of Europe, and jump I did, on business trips to Moscow, Budapest, Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, Prague, Malta, Venice, Lisbon and the like. But there is no place like the village along the Seine.
