None of them is overshadowed by anywhere else in the world for either.
Yep.

I wonder how many Americans ever knew of Queen Fabiola? Sure the average American may not be into the Royal family, yet they of course certainly would know if the Queen made a visit there. Yet if a Japanese Emperor visited the USA far less Americans would be aware of it.
Here in Australia so many people are not into the Royal family, yet of course if Australia becomes a republic it is very likely that there would still be a media obsession of the British Royal family in Australia if they are still reining in the UK.
Yet the British Royal family is not the only family out there that is over exposed and over rated. I can name quite a number of American families that are over exposed and over rated.
LOL! I can think of one, probably the most well known family in the states today..... that out-trashes the best of them.

As far as jamaica, the UK influence is way bigger on the island than in the US
with UK / US relations is the opposite, the US has a huge amount of influence on the UK but not the other way, while the average brits is very exposed by its media to America the average American is sort of oblivious about the UK
that is what i am saying
Irene..... you can boast of the USA as your favorite? Not sure if you live in the US? I believe you are from a South American nation?
But you are Disrespecting these other nations. The UK, Australia, NZ and Canada are ALL vibrant nations with great cities. As for the USA YOU DENY IS NOT A ANGLO NATION... You are wrong. It is in so many ways and reasons. The US might be like the Bastard child of the Commonwealth nations, but part of the Anglo family by adoption....nevertheless? UK, US cultural exchange DOES go both ways. Hollywood was always full of UK actors and US movies today and television. Just many use American accents in shows.
Reminds me of the saying in the movie "Titanic"... When they say... the American oil wealth was as New money vs. The old Commonwealth class money... BUT STILL PART OF THE CLUB??? THE US IS STILL...PART OF THE ANGLO CLUB.
There are no nations closer culturally then the US. UK, Canada and Australia no matter how many Latinos become part of the US.

Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne (very pretty all of it)

Surprisingly I found Sydney not that all it is made up to be - yes it is friendly, has the Opera house and the Bridge and the nearby three sisters mountains ( which I liked). Melbourne was a cultured city.
I found Adelaide with the wineries and the Kangaroo Island a bit more interesting.
I loved Tasmania, especially Launceston and Hobart. And Cairns with the barrier reef and the rainforests of the North.
But the highlight was the outback - Especially the ride in an off road vehicle from Alice Springs through Kings mountain to Uluru, camping under the stars, seeing wild camels, dingos and the Roos. There is nothing like that in the world. Pure magical.
