Alot of people travel but keep it in the states, they experience cultures within the US culture.

170 odd countries in the world and you only want to travel within the confines of the one you were born in. Sorry, the world is a big fucking place and culturally the USA is a tiny, tiny part of the big picture. I don't buy it.

You go from Texas to California and you're going to find totally different people.

With essentially the same culture and values. The same food in the supermarket, the same music on the radio, the same cars on the roads and the same fast food restaurants.

But damn man, we've got tons of things to learn about our own country...not to mention the fact that we have Canada up above and Mexico just below...so just because we don't all get to europe doesn't make us bad.

No, it just makes you uninterested in the world around you.. or maybe you do really think seeing the world on TV is enough.

Our workplace culture differs from most other countries too. How many weeks on average does the normal aussie get for vacation from work?
|
Four weeks paid, but I've never had a "full-time" job in my entire life. Oh, maybe once for 6 months. I work casually and manage to survive fine... and I travel overseas six weeks out of every year. And no, nobody supports me. I do it on my own terms.

Not too many people in the states get vacations PERIOD...let alone 4 fucking weeks.

Well I here Americans talking all the time about vacations... most just choose not to go overseas. Life is all about choices. Do you want that $50,000 car or do you want to travel? It's that simple. If you want to travel but have no vacations you save, quit your job and get another one when you get back. It's ALL choice.
