[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I didn't answer about Fussell. He doesn't discuss Portugal. His book is at least 30 years old and although the concepts are still broadly valid, the specifics have changed (esp wrt the middle class, which has experienced massive upheaval).  I make my assessment about Portugal because of the contexts in which I see it discussed, the fact that it's always being advertised on Travelzoo, the timing of its popularity in relation to the spike in the value of the euro, and the fact that none of the rich people in my life have mentioned, even in passing interest, going to Portugal. When I've discussed Croatia as a place I want to visit, the rich I socialize with cannot understand why I would go to that region and hit Croatia instead of Greece. When I say I have already been to Greece, that doesn't make sense as an answer to them because if I have been there, I know it's nice. The UMC desire to go to all countries isn't shared by the rich.

Maybe not the rich you know. They sound very provincial. The rich I know want to do crazy things like go to the moon and have their bodies frozen. [/quote]
