This year, I moved from New York City where I had spent thirty years, to Amsterdam.

One of the nice little surprises here is that people are less hooked on their cell phones. Oh, don't get me wrong, everyone has a smart phone, and you do see people here walking down the street looking at their phones, and even biking with them (of course), but it's a lot less bad than in the United States - particularly in social events, no one pulls out their phones at all!

On the other hand, my Korean friends tell me that it's even worse there... hard to imagine really.
