I find it hard to believe that anyone could visit Yosemite and not find it to be one of the best parts of the USA

  I think you're talking about different things. Yosemite could be breathtaking, but not interesting (because it feels very foreign) the way that a huge high school football game or a typical American diner might be interesting to non-American eyes. (In case it's not obvious, I've never been to the USA)

  Depends what you mean by best. I live in Japan, and if you look at Mt Fuji it certainly is very pretty, and some people are very impacted by that, but there’s little depth beyond that to me, whereas there’s infinite depth diving into the actual people and culture that makes up Japan, reveling in the mundane. And you’ll never find that no matter how much you look at Mt. Fuji. There’s a vast difference between being in a place for the entertainment value of seeing nice things, vs actually immersing in that place - and personally I prefer the latter over the former.

  It's indeed beautiful... But that sensation only lasts a few hours (in my limited experience), whereas living the mundane lasts a few years.
