Dear Americans, what do you think about the good old Europe? Where would you like to visit here and why? Do many Americans want to travel here or rather somewhere else?

I've always wanted to visit USA and it would be cool to live there, too. Haven't had the chance yet but when I do, that will be the first one on my list to visit there. But there are also a few negatives living there, like you have to do your own taxes, LOL. Is that hard? What else do you think is "bad" about your country and you wish that things were like in country X? For example education is free here including university, which is one thing I'd miss in the States.

Well, the town I live in was founded in 1980, so "The 'Old' World" has a certain appeal, to see a piece of rubble on the ground that's been there longer than my country has existed is amazing. I'd rather travel to Europe again because frankly I'm afraid of Arabs.

I actually have a list of things I need to see/do in America before I can justify the expense of crossing the pond again. It seems odd I saw the Alps before I saw the Rockies, and visited The Hague before I went to DC.

I can't imagine NOT filing my own taxes, so I guess that's not a problem for me. I sure wish healthcare was free, but I have good insurance, so at least I'm glad for that. I wish we were a little less materialistic; our houses and our cars are just so damn big.
