Maybe the US just has just lost its fascination.

I mean, we are bombarded with America's stupidity amost every day, why spend our vacation there? The whole travel experience just sucks anyway and at the border you are treated like the next Osama Bin Laden.

Compare this to travelling inside the EU, where we enjoy complete freedom of travel, good food, nice cities, safety and general rationality.

It's just way more pleasant over here.

> nice cities, safety and general rationality.

Which leads to the "Paris Syndrome" when reality hits tourists...

Well, of course I'm not denying any of that. The US influence has brought a lot positives to Europe after ww2. But right now, things are changing. I've spent a lot of time in the States in the past, but now I'm trying to stay away as much as possible....
