She’s interested in Seattle,for heaven’s sake....not Johannesburg or Bangkok or Mexico City.
A friend’s daughter headed off to Cambodia last year.
It’s great to be young.

Been here 14 months. Nobody talks politics much. There is the odd anarchist/commie demonstration downtown - Mayday, Ferguson.
The police ride bikes. TONS of urban outdoorsmen downtown - pretty mild weather and lots of begging opportunities.
You’re expected to tip. A lot. Additional cost of doing business.
Housing expensive - check. Commuting difficult - check. Parking difficult - check. Lots of gray days - check.
Still I like it. Pro sports are on the ascendancy. Lots of outdoor recreation. Good coffee, good food.
Another downside - nobody watches where they are going when they are walking downtown. Sometimes cause they’re staring at their cell phone - sometimes I don’t know - self absorbed I guess.
Economy is very strong - people seem to be doing fine.

As I said, she will seek input in all likelihood, and I want to be able to provide useful perspectives...and FR offers very unique ones—vastly different than my coffee klatch, for example. I am concerned because so many liberals in government have now become radicals, and, for example, I really don’t want her announcing she is going to begin a program in women’s studies at Evergreen....
BTW, she was in Mexico City last summer for a week attending a wedding—trip of a lifetime. No problems
