Increasingly, an American abroad is an American ashamed.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recently I visited Berlin<\/a> and Warsaw<\/a> \u2013 the former an established European capital, the latter lesser-known but equally sophisticated.\u00a0 It was an opportunity to relax, speak grammatically incorrect German, devour pierogies by the dozen.<\/p>\n

But more than anything, it was a welcome respite from the nonstop circus American politics has become.\u00a0 I needed a Trump timeout.<\/p>\n

Instead, what I got were even more reasons to feel embarrassed as a citizen of the self-proclaimed greatest nation on Earth.\u00a0 America has fallen behind in far more than politics. We’ve fallen behind in everyday life.<\/p>\n

1. America is a second-world country.<\/h4>\n

Upon visiting Europe, America\u2019s rabid patriotism seems woefully misplaced.\u00a0 Like a die-hard sports fan too busy waving a \u201cWe\u2019re #1\u201d foam hand to notice his team getting clobbered, we\u2019ve brainwashed ourselves into believing our place atop the free world remains unchallenged, let alone unsurpassed.<\/p>\n

But infrastructure doesn\u2019t lie: the proof is in the pavement.\u00a0 And the trains. And the sanitation system. And the state of public buildings, parks and plazas.<\/p>\n

The European trip marked my first 10-day stretch in recent memory without hitting a pothole large enough to bat an eyelash, let alone loosen a cavity filling (SEE: Parkway, Garden State).\u00a0 Transit trains in both cities were quieter, cleaner and more frequent than their decrepit NYC-area counterparts.\u00a0 They are also more modern: platform signs post remaining wait times, a 21st <\/sup>Century touch for (go figure) the 21st<\/sup> Century. Europe isn\u2019t ahead of the times; America is behind them.<\/p>\n

\"political

That Europe is greener than America \u2013 where a major political party denies the indisputable science of climate change \u2013 was no surprise.\u00a0 Instantly notable is the smart segmentation of public receptacles, with different bins for glass, paper, plastics and traditional garbage. That something so obvious and easy is beyond us is shameful.<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s remarkable how everything in the Old World seems newer than the New World.\u00a0 Granted, both Berlin and Warsaw were decimated by World War II and therefore largely rebuilt; but the absence of dinginess in both cities is stunning and, as an American, unsettling.\u00a0 As I enjoyed a free Chopin concert at a pristine Warsaw park, I wondered how a city barely a generation removed from Soviet-era poverty boasted public institutions more appealing than my native New York, the self-proclaimed capital of the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. American media is more sensational and less substantive.<\/h4>\n

Traveling to Germany and Poland, it doesn\u2019t take an in-depth, multi-lingual analysis of Der Spiegel<\/em><\/a> or Gazeta Wyborcza<\/em><\/a> to determine that, by comparison, American media outlets are more sensationalist and less sophisticated.\u00a0 This notion was readily apparent by turning my hotel room TV to one channel: CNN International.<\/p>\n

Doing so provided an apples-to-apples comparison between the over-produced, graphics – and chyron-laden hype-fest blared into American living rooms, and the lower-key, more thoughtful newscast I enjoyed after a day of sightseeing.\u00a0 Same logo, different IQ level.<\/p>\n

Gone were the 12-person panels, the six-way split-screens, the insufferable faux gravitas of lightweights like Wolf Blitzer<\/a>. \u00a0In their place were longer segments with fewer talking heads \u2013 a setup less prone to superficial personality clashes and more conducive to actual substance.<\/p>\n

An educated guess tells me that CNN International didn\u2019t spend months speculating over a missing airliner<\/a> or, more consequentially, give a charlatan like Donald Trump hours on end of commentary-free publicity<\/a> to lie his way to the world\u2019s most powerful office.<\/p>\n

\"CNN

CNN International\u2019s featured prime time<\/a> anchor?\u00a0 The highly regarded, no-nonsense Christiane Amanpour<\/a>. \u00a0Back in the good ol\u2019 U S of A?\u00a0 Anderson Cooper.\u00a0 Not bad\u2026 bad not Amanpour, either.\u00a0 Why isn\u2019t an American news network\u2019s top talent headlining in the United States?\u00a0 Probably because American attention spans aren\u2019t long enough to finish reading this sente\u2026<\/p>\n

3. American pastries are too sweet, and our coffee is swill.<\/h4>\n

You can tell a lot about a culture by what people eat in the morning \u2013 what they wake up to, what they grab en route to the office to start a busy day.<\/p>\n

Germany<\/a> and Poland<\/a> both have donut-esque pastries, providing a natural comparison with Dunkin’ Donuts, the northeast’s ubiquitous morning stop.\u00a0 The primary difference is evident at first bite: European pastries are far less sweet.<\/p>\n

I could taste the dough, the fruit filling… the other ingredients<\/em>.\u00a0 I didn’t feel it necessary to order my doughnut with a side of insulin or a belt extension.\u00a0 Americans are eating the doughnut version of CoCo Puffs: tasty yes \u2013 but meant for children.<\/p>\n

\"Patty

Some coffee to go with your berliner or p\u0105czki? You’re in for a treat. Both countries had chain coffeehouses with java that struck a Goldilocks Zone between the two American mainstays of Dunkin’ Donuts (often too light) and Starbucks (often too burnt<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It’s a minor yet telling detail: the quality of simple staples like pastries and coffee is simply higher in Europe.\u00a0 We’ve become accustomed to, and tolerant of, inferior food products – even those we consume daily.\u00a0 What we feed ourselves is a bellwether of sophistication, a taste test most Americans fail miserably.<\/p>\n
