USA, Canada / What phone card should I use to call from USA to Poland? [8]

I use pennytalk online service. It's like calling from phone card but cheaper and you don't have to worry about expiration date. If you have iphone you can use their app for fast and easy calling

that was my point

I share the point with some guy here saying that Americans don't travel a lot basically because of huge expenses of traveling to different continents and just not having enough time to travel.

I can believe this is one of the reasons Americans do not travel abroad. See United States is a huge country. Combine state of NY and NJ together and you will get a size of Poland. For example if you live in Poland it is much easier to visit Germany, England, Austria or whatever rather than moving your butt from one continent to another! Hey, I would like to travel to other countries myself but guess what I can't afford it for now.

I would like to see some numbers of how many Europeans travel to US and how many Americans travel to Europe.

Another thing - ignorance. Go to Greenpoint in NY and see people living there half of their lives barely speaking any english, not knowing anything about US the country they live in -aren't they ignorant? But of course they still think that they are the smartest nation in the world.

I am Polish and I came across many smart and many stupid americans and I can say the same about poles.
