[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever met a Californian? Most of the native Californians I know have never left the state nor see any reason to do so.[/quote]

I don’t know if it’s all Californians, but when I lived out there I certainly was surprised at how many native Californians have never been to the east coast and have no interest in doing so. [b]They talk about the east coast like it’s some far away, irrelevant place[/b], lol.

Also Floridians travel outside florida but a fair number vacation in Florida, which…makes sense.[/quote]

The best example of this I can give is that after 9/11, national media focused on the absence of the towers from the NY skyline. It really didn't resonate in the western U.S. - not because we didn't care, but we weren't conscious of the skyline before so that way of framing things didn't hit.  It wasn't until a couple days after, when fatality counts started to be reported, that I had a grasp of the size.[/quote]

Another Californian here, and same experience. California is a beautiful place and there’s not much need to travel elsewhere, except a lot of people go to Hawaii.[/quote]
