And yet you can sit through an entire Porcupine Tree song? I kid. I'm a kidder. I didn't make it too far thru OTR either. Anyway, thanks for bumping the post from 2009

The vacation hotspots of the US do seem to be pretty whitebread but I think we (Americans) could all do with a thorough exploration of our own country as well. Agreed. Would say that Travels with Charley is one of the best, if not the best travel book I ever read. (For perspective, I thought Jack Kerouac's On the road was self-indulgent, narcissistic garbage and threw the book out after getting not even 1/3 of the way through.) But I would also add that I became a much more sophisticated traveller of Canada after spending 5 years hitch-hiking and backpacking through Latin America and Africa. I learned how to respect native/aboriginal peoples during that long trek. Picking up a couple of languages helped. More important I learned how to see the world through the eyes of those under American, Israeli and other boot heels.

You can cross a border on a train ride and be home by supper. For most 'mericans it's a lot more effort than that. For what it's worth I agree with the sentiment, but there are good reasons (besides the notoriously provincial nature of us colonists) for us to visit our own cultures first.

I've always thought America's biggest problems was because many Americans don't ever seem to leave their own country and experience other cultures therefore thinking the world revolves around them with the attitude "why do I need to go anywhere when I have everything here?"
There's nothing better than travel to broaden one's mind and to perhaps gain an understanding of other cultures.

Yes, the walmart/foxspews/oprah/goodmorningamerica/newcarevery2.5yearsetc perspective is rather limited in its ability to identify with anyone outside the typical American suburban landscape. Hell, most folks around here have difficulty imagining the idea of riding public transport on a regular basis. UT employees get to ride free, anytime, any line. We have one vehicle, so on dionysius' days off, I take the bus in the morning and three days a week in the afternoon (unless he has to work late and can stick around a bit to wait for me). A couple of years ago, a former supervisor of mine had retired to finish her BA. I suggested the bus, since 1) student parking is horrifying on campus, 2) there was a busline close to her house, and 3) she was only coming to campus two days a week. She tried it, but "had to quit" because of all those "creepy people". Oooooookay...
