The influence into rock music in general is nice and one of the only reasons why I’d like to visit the states, e. g. Seattle, Nashville, Chicago and so on.
The national parks. I visited Yosemite Valley two years ago and it was amazing. We don’t have acces to nature in this scale in central europe.
I’m an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, “You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them.”
That conversation gave me a new appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.
I criticize our country for a lot, but the National Parks we did right by. I’m so glad we did that.
The national parks? I’d like to visit one.
Totally worth it. The ones you’ve actually heard of though are too popular and generally require a reservation and waiting to visit. But there are a LOT of National Parks that are “less popular” that are just as amazing that don’t require reservations or possibly even entrance fees.
Content. Without it there wouldn’t be an abundance of free learning material. I’m already feeling the pain of trying to find any decent lesson about my interests after Russian government blocked YouTube.
Like for the past 23 years. In my life literally nothing is changing. (For the exception of this fucking censorship)
I have met some Russians in my community (MA) and they have all mentioned that they are scared of the censorship their relatives are now facing in russia. I remember hearing one of their nephews got a visit from the local police department for their social media activity.
This was at a local repair cafe, and I was sharpening tools. Got to see some cool old Soviet shears, scissors and knives.
The Entertainment. You have really good movies, tv series, music, comedy.
