[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that’s one narrow part of Asia. Visit Bangladesh and you’ll kiss the linoleum at JFK. [/quote]

So your point is that America can only make the cut when you compare the US ro some of the least developed poorer countries and cannot hold water when you compare to other 1st world developed countries? I'd agree, we seem more like a developing 2nd world country now after you get back traveling through other modern advanced economies in Europe and Asia. Our infrastructure is horrendously poor and embarrassing compared to our so called peers.[/quote]

“Traveling to Asia” is the subject line. “Traveling to Japan” is the subject. That’s not just the developed world. That’s the absolute pinnacle of train travel worldwide. Anyone truly well-traveled knows that. [/quote]

Except it's not just trains. You can see how much better their roads are, the connectivity of the internet and speeds, the quality of their bridges, how well their major airports work, the lack of homeless people anywhere, the lack of panhandlers harassing you, and the ability to walk for miles completely underground in the event there is crap weather and so pedestrians can avoid stupid cars.[/quote]

Again. Japan is the global exception to every rule. And literally everyone knows this. Except apparently it was a surprise to you. Spend some time in the rest of Asia (Mainland China, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Nepal…) and they’ll all tell you how exceptional and unusual Japan is. [/quote]

So America can only beat developing 3rd and 2nd world developing nations.and should not be compared to other 1st world countries.  Thanks for reiterating your point.[/quote]

Hey man you’re the one who wants to talk about “Asia.” And who TF still uses the terms 3rd and 2nd world?! Are you like 70??[/quote]

Lmao.  Even Thailand's airport is pretty much better than like 95% of US airports, especially given the volume of travelers it sees. [/quote]

Did you really just say “Thailand’s airport”? LMAO[/quote]

Lmao....because I didn't really feel like going out and looking up how to spell its complicated name for BKK.  Keep nitpicking you stooge.  [/quote]

Oh look! Guess you’re a subpar, lazy American too.[/quote]
