Other than the currency part, we've got that in the US...
- rorykoehler 10y agoIt's really not the same thing. America always feels like America. Travelling in the US is no substitute to travelling abroad.
- xienze 10y agoBelieve me, there are plenty of places in the US you could go where you'll say "holy shit, this is AMERICA???"
- hellofunk 10y agoIt's still not the same thing as going to another country where everything is different, the shows on TV, the language, the politics, the food. You will find variety within the bounds of any nation on earth, but it's not as great as the variety between nations.
- sangnoir 10y agoThat may be true, but is still not a substitute. Travelling abroad has the added benefit of one saying "holy shit, this is just like AMERICA!!!" in the least expected of places.
