A personal photo taken Venice. I apologize for the Venetian glass reflection.
(Sorry, It's not often you can use the legit "Venetian" in front of a glass statement.
I like to travel. I love to learn and embrace a new culture. Whether it is traveling to the Appalachian Mountains or to the Tuscan Vineyards in Italy. One thing is clear: The Earth is HUGE. The U.S. is small. The numbers: The United States only consists of 3.79 million square miles. Due to recent Olympic events, U.S. citizens might start to realize this.. still applying humble ice to the ego bruise.. ah hem. Mind you, I live in the wonderful United States of America and I love my country. It isn't about love or loathe, I'm talking about opening our eyes to other cultures! I also lived in London, UK. I have learned one thing about the foreign perception of America. Stereotype: Hollywood. This is good and bad. Our films populate the foreign cinemas, but it is common for a country to translate a film's U.S. title to suit its particular culture. Sometimes, the language barrier is quite evident.
Here is a list of American titles that I found, compliments of Den of Geek.
