I mean, I want to travel to different countries, but it's not to "experience the culture" per say. I want to go and see new and different things. Experiencing the culture is a backseat bonus for me.

Oh, and it's always funny to see someone who lives in the UK say what travel is when you guys think an hour long car ride is a huge deal. xD
It's not the distances I'm talking about. We understand full well USA is a big country but as a generation influenced by TV, pretty much anywhere you go within one nation is going to be pretty much the same with slight variations either way. I get the north/south divide. I also get the regional divides and ethnic divides within America but they're just slight variations of politics or habits.

I'm talkiong going somewhere, looking around and thinking 'I've no idea what the smurf is going on, why the wee woman is wearing that or why that we fella is in a mountain with his his hand in the air for 40 years'.

I just like beign out of my comfort zone and beign somewhere completely alien. If you're American, you're pretty much centred no matter where you go within the States.

I don't get why you hoors are so defensive about that.

There is nothing at all defensive about what I'm doing in this thread. Quite the opposite.
