How Americans view the world
Click on the image to see it at full size.This tickles me as someone who wrote an entire book about what Americans could learn from foreign countries.
I laughed out loud at the depiction of Alaska and Hawaii, the thrill of "More America!!" in two great vacation spots.
One of the better jokes is the complete absence of Africa, which I touched on in my first book, 
An Amateur's Guide to the Planet
The chapter was subtitled "Our Love-Hate Relationship with Africa," and a subtext was "our hefty ignorance about Africa," born of the tiny trickle of American tourism there.
Hat tip to my friend Blaire for sending me this image.
