If giving a hard time means crying for a change, then I prefer that over accepting/defending the status quo.

I traveled and loved it, and that's why it bothers me. Because I want everyone to experience what I have. The first-hand experience of a different place, people, food, way of life, culture, nature, etc etc. One single visit leaves a lifetime impression. I do agree that prices are high, but when people waste thousands on iPhones and iPads and all kinds of unnecessary stuff, then priorities suck.

Saving money is necessary, but most americans as well as non-american tourists I've met around the world were not rich at all.

I'm sure Capo, that you will never forget your trip to NY. Would you honestly give it up for the sake of seeing all of UK first?
