Oh yes.... You'd have to move to a country to really get all the
experiences you want to have. And even then, I'm sure there are people
from the North of France who have never experienced everything the
south of France has to offer, and people from Provence who have never
been to Brittany or Normandy, etc etc. For that matter, although I
live in California, I've never yet made it to Arizona, although I
definitely want to see the Grand Canyon in my lifetime, and it's
practically next door. (Assuming I have a 600 mile backyard, that is.)

This is entirely my preference, but I'd rather see a small part of
another country very well, than rush through the whole country, trying
to see "everything" for 15 minutes. I spent two weeks in Italy a year
and a half ago, and it was a GREAT way to see Umbria, which is in the
heart of the Italian hills. I was stationed in one place and took daily
trips to different cities in the region, and really got to see it well.
I adored every hour I was there, and could enjoy it with some depth,
and with the inviting knowlege there was much more of Italy left to
see. Which means, of course, that I'll just have to go back soon. =o)
