[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It truly amazes me how many people who have NEVER lived in a place feel qualified to weigh in and claim there are absolutely NO cultural differences and blame it all on the OP.  That's a dead giveaway for someone who has really not stepped out of their comfort zone much in life. Or who is extremely socially dense and unaware [/quote]

Exactly. When I first started traveling and living abroad, I was sooo open to the experience. All the differences were fascinating and beautiful. Now, I just want my American-sized large coffee at an American price. I want air conditioning (and I want Europe to stop pretending it doesn't get hot in the summer. IT HAPPENS EVERY SUMMER.) I want appliances that aren't built for a single person. I want people to shower every day. Now that I'm indisputably well traveled, I am more American than I've ever been. [/quote]

I'm the multiple country expat who posted earlier and I agree with you. Life in America is so comfortable on so many levels that it's hard to duplicate overseas unless you have a lot of money.

But I'll will give Europe bonus points for proper national health care. And will concede that it really sucks to be poor in America compared to in Europe. [/quote]
