Wrong but Right: Thoughts from Places Amsterdam

Are you ready for a Nerdy Valentines Day? http://bit.ly/WekHqK
(It occurred to me while editing that you are not actually able to confirm that I ever put on pants.) In which John travels to Amsterdam--where he lived for two months while finishing The Fault in Our Stars--to promote the Dutch edition of the book. Along the way he visits places that were important to him and to the made-up people in his novel, including the Spui Square, the Beninghof, a bathroom that you must pay to enjoy, the Vondelpark, the Anne Frank House, the hotel de Philsosoof, takes a ride on a canal boat, and listens to a mathematician discuss infinity.

Thanks, as always, to the extraordinary community of Dutch nerdfighters for their support, and to my Dutch publisher Lemniscaat for bringing me back to the city I love so much.

CORRECTION: What I meant to say is that Hazel incorrectly concludes that the set of numbers between 0 and 1 is smaller than the set of numbers between 0 and 2. In fact, they are the same size. (Check out the wikipedia article about infinite cardinality for a few proofs of this mind-blowing fact.) Anyway, I don't know why I said whole numbers when I meant to say numbers. Presumably because I am an idiot.

this is so beautiful.

We are doing a project for school, and my theme is John Green, and for my poems I am using this group of videos, but that also means I have to type them all out, and it's taken 1 hour to type out a 3 minute video. asldkfja;slkdf <33

Firstly, as a sign of respect and to preserve the experience for other people. Secondly, according to the website, it can restrict the flow of visitors and the flash emmitted by cameras can be damaging to certain artifacts, especially Anne's diary.

Why is filming the Anne Frank house not allowed?
