(Eeek, it's been so long?!)
A rare look at my All-time blog statistics informed me that actually one of my most-visited blog posts is the one about things in the Czech Republic I missed in the USA, from back in 2013, regarding my visit in 2007. It also happens to be one of my most controversial ones, in that I received a couple comments, including a dowright offended one, that did not quite get what I was trying to say. Namely, that it was just as much a post about the Czech Republic (which is something I explicitly said in the first paragraph - heck, it says so in the title) as it was about the USA. And that I hadn't hated my visit to the USA - just hadn't enjoyed certain aspects of it.
It's quite ironic because I have far more reasons not to want to return anytime soon now that I am writing this post.
But I always felt I did owe my American friends and readers a post about the things I did love about the USA during my visit, because that old blog post did come out rather wrong. And I had written another rather critical post in the meantime. And, well, I suppose now is the time to finally restore balance. And perhaps more so than ever - perhaps a lot of people from the USA do need to see there are things to love about their country, even for a rather disenchanted foreigner.
So here you go! Ten things I loved, and still think of many years later!
