We’re the oldest and greatest country on the earth, we have the highest standard of living, and we’ve never lost a war, we can judge whoever we want!

Oldest country on earth????

What school did you go to? We are one of the youngest.

Would like to see a Venn diagram of posters on this thread, regular Disney visitors, and regular Delaware beach visitors.

?

Because having a beach house in Bethany while having traveled extensively throughout the world means I’m not equipped to form an opinion on destinations that are overhyped but not my cup of tea?

You sound like the travel snobs who can’t afford a week oceanfront in Bethany or a week at Disney and instead save up for a European vacation in an Airbnb eating most meals at home and dragging your kids into museums because it’s more highbrow.

Did I say anything about Bethany homeowners? I wrote “regular Delaware beach visitors.” Homeowners are not visitors.

I do own an oceanfront house in New England so I don’t go to Bethany. I suppose you might say I’m a “travel snob” because I sometimes do things like hike or bicycle in Europe, but to me a real travel snob says things like “I’ve traveled extensively throughout the world” lol.

I admit I am laughing at ppl who visit a single city and say a whole European country is a “dump.” Or people who say categorically that *all* the food in a European city is “awful.” Maybe something wasn’t to my taste, or I was underwhelmed because I thought a place would be like it was in a movie, but I’m not likely to dismiss an entire country or even city on the basis of a single very brief and limited experience.

You are assuming people just visit one city in Italy and erroneously label the entity country a dump?

Disagree.

Few people only visit one city in Italy. It’s far more common to spend a week or two running around the country. And the touristy destinations simply aren’t luxurious by American standards.

Many of us do not travel in search of luxury.

Americans are very good are wasting money and being ripped off in the service of experiencing luxury…but that is a whole ‘ other conversation.

I want to hear about why the people in Amsterdam weren’t nice. And the assholish ones in Spain?

This is the travel forum, not the political forum.

This time the city seems much dirtier. Trash everywhere. The train station was horrid.

Can't see us going back anytime soon.

Sad to see.

In Amsterdam now... totally agree. It's disappointing.

Anyone saying Italy as a country is overrated must be basic AF. I found Venice to be a little overrated. Beautiful but outside of the canals there not much to do there. And everything closes super early. Italy as a whole is amazingly beautiful with some of the best food in the world.

Places I found overrated: Santorini, Athens, Bangkok, Nice, Avignon

Do people really publicly defecate in Paris?

You are pathetically ignorant, I am afraid.

Our health care system is #1 for cost alone. We trail behind most high income counties for outcomes/health indicators.

Try reading instead of waving your flag maybe.

Well , I have never seen that and I have probably been there 15 or 20 times.

Not sure who PP hangs out with.
