\"AI’ve been told all my life that I’m a minimalist, and although I find that to be a little extreme, it’s more or less true. So long as I’m well-fed, safe, and have comfy clothes, I am quite content. So, when I was told I would be relocating to Redmond for my internship, I didn’t give it any thought. I wanted to intern at Microsoft, it was in Redmond, so I was in Redmond.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it was this lack of expectation that made the city so remarkable to me. Much like an infant marvels at the things an adult considers mundane, I was awestruck by Redmond’s beauty, efficiency, and cleanliness. I enjoyed being outside so much that I would take the hour-long walk from work to my room just to appreciate the city. Bikes crossed my path from time to time, but on these walks I was mostly alone and at peace, gazing at the mountains in the distance and listening to the chirps of the birds flying overhead.<\/p>\n

Should I ever wish to experience something more exciting, I could rely on the public transportation system. The buses were punctual, clean, and rarely crowded. My internship allowed me a free bus pass, so I used it whenever I could.

I loved being in Redmond, and I hope I get a chance to visit again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
