It is so obvious you started this thread to cause a ruckus. Your opinion makes the rest of us look like boorish Americans. Go travel around the world and get back to us. It is laughable you think Florida is beautiful.

Not cultural. Lets keep it to physical/visual. Cultural is too subjective and most of the world doesn't like America's culture because of jealousy.

Florida, especially South Florida has a true tropical climate because of water currents that surround it keeping it warmer than usual.


No it doesn't. It is barely if even tropical, and only along the coasts, not the interior. They get temps in the 30'sF just about every winter, and when winters like the 1980's return, they will have freezes in Miami again. 1989 wiped out loads of coconut palms throughout Florida. Also in the 80's thousands and thousands of citrus trees were killed outright. You wouldn't know as you weren't even born. You know nothing of which you speak.

There is nothing unique about those landscape shots. Other countries have similar if maybe even more beautiful plains and mountains. Americans just don't know or care about them. And other countries don't have the media and PR operation we do. Hollywood anyone?

Badlands look beautiful...Hawaii is underrated in terms of scenery since people just think tropical beaches. The Big Island actually the SECOND HIGHEST ISLAND in the world (hard to believe I know) despite being much tinier than say New Guinea or no. 3 Borneo.

True. But when we want to, we do it right.

Many of them live in a bubble and slurp up the "USA is greatest" propaganda. I live here, so I know. Do most of them have any interest in other countries? Many do, but the "USA is greatest" crowd for the most part doesn't. The good news is that the younger generation is starting to see itself more as global citizen rather than American only.

Well, Mexico has Copper Canyon, Peru has Colca Canyon, Tibet has Yarlung Tsangpo and so on. There's other large canyons in the world and the Grand Canyon is certainly impressive but it's not as if it's the only deep and geographically impressive canyon.
