Wow, talk about cultural ignorance! For nearly every American, having their
own
transportation is a benifit, not a burden. I drove two hours last weekend to
visit my sister in college. I *loved* the drive! The scenary was beautiful, I
cranked up my car stereo, bought a 20 oz. soda (which eventually caused me to
stop on my trip) and relaxed. It was me, my 8 cylinder car and a fairly open
highway. I didn't have to make multiple stops (one to redeposit my soda),
didn't have to sit next to a guy smoking one cigarette after another while
listening to a screeming 2 year old. Even if I had the option of public
transportation, I would have driven. Your ignorance of Americans, our
passions
and our way of life is glaring.



I'll also add that I rented a car when I visited Europe earlier in the month
and if you're sticking with public transportation you're missing some great
scenary as well. I drove from Stuttgart to Verdun on the major highways, not
much to see. However, I drove from Verdun to Mons on small back roads. What
great scenary and as a 20th Century European history student (one BA, finishing
MA) I was fasinated by the scenary and the historical signifigance of the sites
I was viewing.
