Hey GMC. I'm curious..

Since the majority of members on this site are from outside the U.S., I was wondering...

1. Have you been to America, and what are your honest opinions of it? (Be honest here, it's OK smile.gif)

2. Ever plan on visiting? I'll give you a place to stay and we'll have some jam sessions or something. biggrin.gif


I've been to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belize. It's nice to travel and see life from a different perspective, I definitely want to travel more in the future.

Anyways, what about you?

I've been all over Europe and lived in the Middle East during my teenage years. My favorite city is probably London, I would like to live there one day. Paris and Amsterdam are also very nice, I guess I just have a bias towards London because we share the same language tongue.gif Also, the landscape in Switzerland, Scotland, and Greece is absolutely stunning. If you're ever in the UK, definitely check out the countryside in Scotland, you'll be blown away. The country that impressed me the most, in terms of being an advanced society, is Germany. Everything they have and everything they do is literally the best. I wish the US would emulate the Germans when it comes to running the country.

But the most amazing all around country I have ever been to is the homeland of my maternal ancestors: Italy. It has everything; magnificent architecture, stunning scenery, beautiful and sassy women, rich and extensive history, and of course, fantastic cuisine. I'm actually eligible for an Italian citizenship, maybe I should just move there biggrin.gif

There are many countries I would like to visit, but here are just a few:

Turkey
Romania
Brazil
Argentina

I always used to find the idea of going to the USA very intimidating but it's not until recent years that I've developed an interest in seeing certain parts of it, specifically San Fransisco & New York. Not particularly excited at the thought of LA because it doesn't seem to have the same cultural identity as those other 2.. plus the smog levels are fearsome !! wink.gif


Don't worry Ben, just as long as you stay out of certain parts of the Deep South and the ghettos of the big cities, you'll have nothing to fear wink.gif If you do ever come to visit the US, definitely check out New Orleans and the Grand Canyon, and also stop by Charlotte so we can go out to the woods and shoot beer cans tongue.gif
