Big and flashy, subtle and sophisticated, or trashy and disarmingly familiar, America has it all ... and that's just the geography. Few places on earth can claim the variety, scope and scale of the United States, and its melting pot of influences from around the world has made for a culture rife with - and proud of - its contradictions. As soon as you try to pigeonhole it, you are blindsided with the sublime, the ridiculous, or both simultaneously. The export of American pop culture has made its icons and landmarks familiar the world over, but behind the sights lays the real America, and there's no other place like it.
