Hi guys.

Here is an article from the NY Times last week about the global housing market and specifically, whether there is a 'bubble' or not. Interestingly, the article weaves a story into it about the Herengracht in Amsterdam, the street/canal where we live. If you're not too excited about in reading the whole article, the funniest part of the article from a Kantors_Abroad perspective is the following sentence...

"From the time the Herengracht was developed in the early 17th century, however, it has been Amsterdam's prime real estate, the place where power brokers - 17th-century merchants dealing in spices and slaves or 21st-century bankers and international consultants - have chosen to base themselves."

Awesome, I'm a 'power broker' - to read the entire NY Times article, click here.

See ya.
