Why is it that in the US, we are under the impression that Europe is the place to go, more so than Asia?
I would say that countries like Japan can rival a country like France, for example, in terms of scenery, culture and exoticness and what not. Any thoughts?

I agree. But isn't it cheaper to go to Europe?

I agree with you there. I really want to go to Japan someday.
It's just that American culture is closer to European culture, and I guess that makes us feel more comfortable.

Europe is somewhat like the US. That is why. Europe is part of Western Civilization.

Probably depends on where in the US you are. Plus, the Euro and UK Pound is stronger than the US dollar, I think, and the Japanese Yen might be a little less. Not sure though.

I guess the US is more like Europe. I just don't fully understand the whole promotion of how it's so romantic and stuff.

With the exception of Japan, almost all countries in Asia are cheaper for vacation. Food and accommodation is just unbelievably cheap in places like China, Thailand, or India.
But I guess people find that it's much harder to communicate with the locals and the culture-shock can sometimes be intimidating.

I also think its because with Asia, Mr. Jong is firing ICBM's every other week, and without NIF's laser ready to target disabling fire yet that Asia is a hot zone. Thats why I love it here
