    Default Europe v America

    Europe and North America are the only two continents I know much about. Europe has many sovereign states, no federal control, many languages, many cultures, many foods, more than one currency. America has one of everything, a lot more similarities across 50 states under a federal government.

    Personally I prefer America, but that's only because I'm a boring bastard who likes everything to be the same. I'd feel far more comfortable travelling across America knowing what to expect around every corner than travelling across Europe not knowing what's coming next.

    What about you ?

    Visit the continent and the U.S. every year.

    Europe wins hands down for me!

    It has culture and history, and such variety. Plus the girls are hotter!!!

    It's a personality thing I guess. I don't feel comfortable in a place where I don't understand the local language and totally different customs etc. For all I know it might be an insult to offer a handshake somewhere and I'd have no idea. Personal ignorance is the root of it I guess, still I've no inclination to know all these different things as I don't find them in any way interesting or enriching.

    I'd be the exact opposite. Love the idea of different cultures, customs etc. learning about handshake or no handshake is exciting for my little mind

    Have never been to the state though.......someday.

    It's good that we're different, makes the world go around.

    Its the good old US of A for me everytime, Southern California in particular has everything you could ever want from Stunning scenery in the mountains to the incredible girls on the coast.

    Overall North America is one of the dullest continents I have been to. It has some good points but nothing that would make it great.

    The Coast, the Desert, the Mountains !!

    Within a couple of hours of sunning on the beach you can be up in mountains skiing..

    Coast all year round temperate, take out a boat, fishing, waterski.. scuba. National Parks for hikes et al.

    Great museums and theaters, excellent food and wine..

    The variety is really amazing..

    And as you said : the girls !! I tell 'ya..
    I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
