even my kids were asking "why are they here if they don't want to learn about French culture?" Real travelling is not just a journey through places, but an opportunity to immerse oneself in the culture.
Exactly! Stomping in and owning the place is not traveling, it's just partying in a different location. This seems to be what Americans wealthy enough to travel do. The Americans who would appreciate traveling often aren't wealthy enough to do it. I don't know that it's necessarily a wealth factor but more a sense of entitlement. Their internal dialogue seems to be "Why doesn't everyone want to be like us?"
