Believe me, there are plenty of places in the US you could go where you'll say "holy shit, this is AMERICA???"

It's still not the same thing as going to another country where everything is different, the shows on TV, the language, the politics, the food. You will find variety within the bounds of any nation on earth, but it's not as great as the variety between nations.

That may be true, but is still not a substitute. Travelling abroad has the added benefit of one saying "holy shit, this is just like AMERICA!!!" in the least expected of places.
