Crazy In Bed is kind of right. Although he has just brought it into a thread where it wasn't really.

Well its been nice living amongst you Americans for 2 months.
 

nice country, on the whole a very polite (but overly patriotic) bunch of people, the food was good.

sadly I never got to see much of anything here or really get to experience much of America, went to San Diego nice place, would like to have explored a bit more but the company I went with, all that they wanted to do was get smashed in the bars all day.

thanks for being a great host :)

LIEZ!

The food is awesome though. It's why we're all fat.

I honestly don't think there's really much to do in America. We have Vegas, the Grand Canyon, but we don't have anything totally awesome. I've lived here my entire life and when I think of going to see something cool it's never anything in America. We do have some beautiful countryside, but it's not like other countries where they have things with ancient historical significance or exotic scenery. All we have are small groups of Native Americans whose lives we've completely destroyed, that's about it as far as our history goes.

It's so vast and varied, there's got to be at last something for everyone there. I'd love to spend a few weeks touring the place, just need some £££.

Thank you for that wonderfully uplifting speech.

Don't thank me, thank America! We don't really have anything that's culturally awesome. I blame that on being a melting pot. Sure there are cool things, but nothing that's truly amazing. You can't compare anything we have to Chichen Itza, the pyramids, or the Coliseum. We don't have really old historical architecture. You can find some 1900's stuff, but very few centuries old places that are noteworthy save for maybe some southeastern native american stuff. Our best monuments would be colonial.

It's not that there's anything wrong with America as a tourist destination, it's just that we haven't been around long for there to be anything truly amazing other than our few interesting natural artifacts (grand canyon). And culturally we can be an interesting place, but I wouldn't say of too much interest to most Europeans because most of what we have is all stolen from other countries and modified for America. Our country was founded entirely on immigrants and we've pretty much wiped out the native population.

America is awesome (except our government) but not in the sight seeing way. At least not in my opinion. Maybe if someone is into pop culture and what not Hollywood would be awesome, but as for me I want historical significance.

Every time I try to think of something to do for a vacation that doesn't involve leaving the country I come up blank. There are fun things to do like go to Chicago and visit Chinatown, go to Las Vegas, or any of the other interesting spots. But nothing I would say is worth flying across the sea.

I'm biased in the culture department because I'm an American so it all seems normal to me and of no interest. I just assume Europeans would feel similarly because we came from there. I also probably look for different things when I'm considering a trip, and because of America's youth it doesn't interest me that much.

You must not get out much. There is all kinds of cool stuff around. Lots of historic native american sites for example are really cool to see in person.

Christ man you have got to be kidding me. Just because there aren't any ruins or anything like that there isn't anything interesting? I find it kind of neat that human history here is relatively recent. And you talk like the grand canyon is the only interesting geological feature here. Have you ever seen the North Cascades (and the cascade volcanoes), Grand Tetons, Badlands, Rocky Mountains, redwoods, Oregon coast, Denali National Park, Yosemite, Yellowstone etc etc? We live in one of the most geographically varied countries in the world and you act like it's boring. Hell I could spend a lifetime exploring the mountains I live in and never get bored. Of course if you're looking for well defined historical culture you're not likely to find anything that goes back too far but mother nature has more than done her part to make up for that.

America has the best modernist architecture, bar none. That's nothing to sneeze at.

In your opinion.

Did you get to see any cool **** that flies that our government hasn't let us in on yet, OHP?

Dude, there is really is no 'opinion' about it. America rose to prominence during the modern era, most countries have 1 city that is modern... the US has 50. That is the advantage of having no past. No hand wringing about tearing stuff down to build new stuff.
