  1. People outside America, clearly! And no, that's not a dig. But people do, it's a real thing that happens. I guess you'll have to take my word for it. Not been to enough places around europe to comment on all of that, but it'd probably go something like: Best Sunset: Canary Islands Best Sunrise: Don't recall ever being awake for sunrise (for good reasons at least) Best Beaches: south of France/northwest italy Best Patriotic site: differs country to country obviously, but for a few countries it might be Ypres Best Single Vista: Pick your favourite point in the alps, there are loads with views of mountains, lakes, trees, snow and wildlife. Most Fun Town: Honestly, London's up there, with Barcelona and Amsterdam Best Consistent Architecture: Paris, without a single doubt in my mind. Campiest Attraction: ? Most like a camp? Not much of a camper. Nicest College Campus that is not Kenyon: My alma mata, University of Birmingham is pretty nice. But winner is probably Cambridge/Oxford, although not strictly speaking a campus Best Tall Building: The Shard is striking, if not 'nice' Best Statue not called Liberty: Probably the colossus at Rhodes or Zeus at Olympia, if they were still around Best Scenic Town Setting: Any of hundreds in and around southern/central europe, through france, italy, switzerland, pick your poison. Gawdiest Display of Wealth: Monte Carlo - yachts absolutely everywhere and not a poor person in sight. Closely followed by Cannes. Best Stadium: Nou Camp Best hiking for the average person: Swiss Alps Best Lake: Geneva? Best Mountain Range: Alps
  2. People criticise americans for never leaving america. While I can understand that to a degree, not seeing all the different cultures etc, it's just incredible to see the vast range of nature and culture that exists within the country - you could not leave and still have 50 very unique holidays.
