There's a tendency among people who travel abroad to make their travel destinations sound better than anywhere else.  "Germany is better than the U.S. because..."  I find myself falling into this trap when I try to describe some of the things I experienced in Germany, because, quite frankly, certain things are better, such as their public transportation system, their soccer team, and their use of bacon in every meal.  It's not to say Germany as a whole is "better" than the U.S., just certain small parts.  I'll try to keep it all in perspective. #travel
