I hit her up on Twitter and she didn't believe me. I'm flattered at least.
Then why the fuck did you travel to some other place? If you you don't want to see the culture... Whats the point then...
The trouble with TTI’s work is that, to put it bluntly, it’s simply wrong. For one, their core measure of congestion costs—the “travel time index”—only looks at how fast people can travel, and completely ignores how far they have to go. As a result, it makes sprawling cities with fast roads between far-flung destinations look good, while penalizing more compact cities where people actually spend less time—and money—traveling from place to place. These and other problems, discussed below, mean that the TTI report is not a useful guide to policy.

No doubt. I ate at McDonald's a few times when I went to Prague.
The difference is that I wasn't looking forward to it and it certainly wasn't my favorite tourist destination.
