Let's try to look a bit deeper: US is the only country besides Syria and Nicargua to leave the deal.
If it was just US then sure you may say "it's because we're the greatest", but you're grouped with a country experiencing massive war + failed mafia state. China, Russia, Germany, Australia - everyone decided to risk their fading businesses like gas and oil in exchange for better futue of humanity + solar power/green business.
I don't care who we're grouped with, it's a bad deal for the developed world.
Montevideo was less developed and dirtier than I imagined. Uruguay is arguably the richest country per capita in South America, so I imagined it would be like an even more developed version of Buenos Aires, but nope! While it has many beautiful parts, Montevideo seemed much grittier and dirtier than Buenos Aires, and the ride from the airport went through parts of the city that looked like rural Mississippi. Overall Buenos Aires was much cleaner and more developed and felt much more first world than Montevideo, it was a huge surprise for me
I expected Londoners to be cold and aloof and was pleasantly surprised to find otherwise.
Parisians and Italians in general on the other hand aren't as friendly as expected, as least to strangers.
Dublin was a little more run down than expected. With all of the corporations relocating there I thought it would be newer and shinier. This is not a bad thing in my book.
The Irish people are even friendlier than the guidebooks say.
It is a lot easier to find vegetarian food in Andean Peru which is not true for most of South America.
Jamaica does not have as much biodiversity as expected. That's probably true for all islands.

Qatar continuing on stable relations with UAE, Bahrain is a situation I got completely wrong for my own psychic abilities. Just can’t believe they are not allowing citizens to enter the lands of each territory, including vice versa. Apparently, they aren’t identical after all. For international occurrence I got right, Indonesia forever ending up calm without any issues from one decade ago relatively. Feeling safe to a solid moderate.
granted i havent been there since 1998 but new zealand struck me as less wealthy than i thought it would be though i headed south from auckland airport and i believe south auckland is about the most disadvantaged place in the entire country
