All I know about America is that on the east coast there's New York City and on the west coast LA and San Francisco, and apperantly, somewhere in between there's Texas and Las Vegas, the media shows nothing else here.

I went on vacation to Germany a couple of times, and the people there don't exactly come running to you with open arms because you're a tourist, at times I even found them to be a little rude, even compared to dutch.
I went to London a couple of weeks ago, for a couple of days, and I found the people there to be very friendly, the difference between the rich and poor is bigger there, but I'm not quite sure if that applies to the rest of England.

BTW: I'd like to know how some of the members here think about Holland, I've recently learned that it is notorious for its liberal drugs policy.
