Only 20% of Americans

hippy The eu isn't a country. You can travel for an hour and be in the midst of a different language, different culture. That's why it's so cool for an isolated Aussie to come to Europe.
Anyone with a tiny percent of adventure in their body would be a fool not to travel outside the bounds of their own country no matter how big it is and no matter what they think it can provide. It's like never reading any books because you've got the Encyclopedia Britannia sitting at home..

Not denying what you are saying but you forget where the average (I am pro talking modal average here) line falls. People say to me that I am fitter than average, eat better than average have a bigger ..errr.. anyway I would hope I am fitter than average because most poeple are very unfit e.t.c. It is like the way most poeple are suckered into watching t.v, getting a big loan to buy a plasma screen entertainment system. Most people don't have much adventure in them. Sound harsh I know, wheather it is scoial situations, or socail conditioning that makes people like this I don't know what the reason is. I just think people tend to be the same where ever they are from and given the same situaion many europeans would do the same as many US people.
