Joe,
We can go even further. How much of a perception does one gain from visiting Hollywood or Las Vegas? One might visit the US by hitting a few West Coast cities and never have seen Miami, New York, Washington, and many other places?
I think North Dakota sucks compared to Miami but they are both in the US.
I have been to Nice but not to Paris.
I have been to Barcelona but not to Madrid.
How much can I say I have a reasonable perception of France or Spain?
