But you can glean a lot about a country and the true standard of living about where people eat, how they eat, the cleanliness of the streets, the architecture, and their demeanor.

Yea you gotta start with some way of getting an insight. I plan on travelling AU/NZ hopefully next year. And I will try to take careful note of that the "vacation impression" is nothing compared to actually living there. It's just a start and tip of the iceberg.

The number of US bills I remember was something like that. This was a few years ago mind you, now there is probably dirty investment banker sweat on everything.
