Update on plans!

I think I've settled on moving to Montpellier instead of Aix-en-Provence.

- Still on the Med with a good climate (for France).
- 7th largest city (>600k including surrounds), so plenty to do (more than in Aix-en-Provence
- Health care system rated as among the best in France (recently the WHO rated France's public health system as the best in the world)
- 3.5 hours form Paris and 2.5 hours form Marseille
- Large university city (so educated, lively, and opportunities for visiting fellowships)
- Property is cheaper than in Aix-en-Provence ($5,700 per square metre in the city: Property Prices Comparison Between Montpellier, France And Canberra, Australia (numbeo.com))

I'm going to France next year (probs in September or October) and will spend a little over a week in Montpellier to make sure it's a goer.
