You'll find many cities and small towns that look very similar to the States, but the people talk some funny language and seem to think rather differently, or quite the same depending on your POV. It may seem Ironic given my very America-centric and conservative POV, but I love the French and Italians. Above all, I love their love for life itself, simple, day to day . . . and attention to detail in little pleasurable things. This is something we Americans could learn from.
PS You think the drag strip raises your adrenalin? Rent a fast car and hit the Autobahn.
I remember once driving in the rain in an Audi A6 at around 100mph . . . and being passed by a family in some SAAB Station Wagon thing with bicycles on the top.
