Everyone Likes Everywhere

We still do not have the shorted (aka Vienna-free bid list) but we have started asking people about the cities where there are two+ jobs. Maybe it is because we are living in Jordan (and anyone who is here is at least moderately adventurous) but we have heard great (not just good things) about a number of possible places. Uganda has been described as the jewel of Africa. We met someone Friday night who just left Addis Adaba and said it is great with terrific food and beautiful weather because of the high elevation. Many people (who think Amman is a little boring) think Islamabad is great - with wonderful hiking and fabulous shopping. In fact the only countries people do not like we weren't actually considering - apparently Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire and Haiti really are as difficult as people say.
