Even according to that weird stats, Russians travel the World two times more than Americans as 0.4 vs 0.2.

How come? And why you say "false"?

Why I call that stats weird? That's because the world travels there are summed with the internal ones. The world travels are easy to count: once you crossed the borders of your country you are traveling. Now tell me what the internal travel is? Do I travel when I'm visiting my relatives in another city of the Moscow region every week? Do I travel when I'm visiting my friends in a city 1500 km away from Moscow? Who counts all those internal trips and how? What the internal travels are and how to count them?

So in my post above I said that "poor" Russians travel the world more often than the "rich" Americans, but you said it's "false". Provide the proof then.
