    It’s always funny to see local waiters pamper American tourists because they know they’ll get tipped well. But also, from what I’ve heard from US friends, for many it’s cheaper to literally fly to Europe and vacation here than take a vacation domestically.

      Spent a weekend in Paris last year. Meals were €40-€100 for two with wine.

      Can’t get out of happy hour in America without spending $40 for one.
