I am actually quite happy. I live in America and love it here. I am well-traveled from youth and other jobs I have had, 8 other countries last count - all in the eastern hemisphere) and other than some architecture in Europe I was not impressed by any. I will say that the Asian countries I went to were very clean and I was treated very well.

I don’t care about other cultures and foods I like what I like. Thankfully I live in a country where I have the freedom not to watch that crap and also complain if I want, unlike most of the countries you express love for. So, you enjoy, as will I, by not watching.

I have stood on 6 of 7 continents in over 100 nations. Only Antarctica is missed. The military two branches, oil & gas, pre and post doc funded research, geointel work had me all over this planet. For a 25+ year period.

America is great but by no means exclusive. Tuscany smashes Napa or Centex for wine country. Switzerland kills any skiing anywhere in North America let alone the USA. Japan has world class clean, safe cities where you can leave your backpack ,phone and wallet on a table and go to the bathroom it will still be right where you left it. Want to see what a modern world class city with high speed rail and fully autonomous vehicles Shanghai is that city make NYC look like a cesspool. I went to NYU so the City is a touch stone for me it is simply outclassed by other megacities. Paris used to be nice same for London they are lost. I would choose Vietnam over Louisiana any day of the week of tropical climate was my jams. Da Nang is fire, so is Hue. Hong Kong also lit and if gamble Macau is a toll routes away. SE Asia is one of my favorite places on earth. Joberg used to be nice same for Cape Town now lost , low trust low IQ people ruined it.

If my second wife didn’t have 7 figure brick and mortar in the USA we would be in Tuscany part of the year and the Alps in summer. Geneva is close to perfection in society , exclusivity and solid banking access.
