If I had said "Europe is fun, that's what Americans don't understand" you would have been fuming, I know you would.”
No, I wouldn't have been fuming... even if you had said that Europe was more cultured, educated, stylish, had better food, had a higher life-quality, that's what Americans don't understand... I would have agreed with you. It is/does, and most Americans don't understand that.
I like Europe. If I didn't, I wouldn't have spent 20 years of my life there. I wouldn't have raised my children there. Europe is wonderful... no, it's more than that, it's spectacular.
But America is more fun than Europe... in my opinion.
