I think Europe's quite nice. It's history runs much deeper than North America, which was basically tribal up till 400- odd years ago.
Also, being from North America- I find the dynamic between all the different countries quite interesting, as opposed to us with just Canada/U.S.A/Mexico/Caribbean.
Been to Europe a few times, but I doubt that I'll get sick of it.

When I think about Europe in general, I think about war. Europe has its current shape, culture and economy only because of war. Europe was constantly at war with itself, more than any other continent. Many peoples tried to invade Europe, like the Moors, the Turks and the Mongols, but were pushed back. And the 2 most destructive wars of mankind history took place almost exclusively in Europe. So Europe is a conglomeration of violence and hatred. This is Europe's strength. If it wasn't for the Battles of Metaurus, Gaugamela, Tours and Kulikovo, Europe today would look entirely different. Or the wars that the Iberians waged against the Moors, the Hellenes and Slavs waged against the Turks and Mongols. And then of course the colonizations of Africa, America and Asia. This is also Europe's biggest weakness, we quickly resort to hatred and violence. Just look at the European Hooligan scene. We lack the inner balance that the Chinese have. I admire the Chinese for this.
Do I consider myself an European? In juxtaposition to the USA, of course I do. But I also cheer for my country at sports (especially when the beat our neighbors and bigger nations). I have many friends from all over Europe, and we understand each other well. I know that the European Union brings many disadvantages, but without it, Europe would not be able to keep itself competitive on the international market. And it also prevents war.
European culture is for me paganism, Greco-Roman, Celtic, Slavic, Norse, as well as the Catholic and Orthodox Church. It are the Renaissance paintings and sculptures, and the classical music.

Living in America, I love Europe. Everything is a mix of old and new and the public transpiration is awesome (everything in America is spread out so we can't walk). However I don’t know how I would feel about living in a socialist country. People in Europe pay 300,000+ dollars for the size of my living room and many can’t afford cars. I don’t know if I could handle the taxes. I am most fascinated with the culture, history, and lifestyle.

A ray of Tsunlight.
I'd love to visit, especially Germany.
But I like my country, hamburgers and all. Though we could do with less of the stupid people...

Haven't been to Europe so I can't say much yet.
Whenever I think about Europe is just the variety in the countries, culture and architecture.
The Dutch culture is the one that fascinates me the most. I have heard that they are open and honest, along with not being overly polite, it just seems to fit my style overall.

The people in Great Britain like the music I like, while everyone around me doesn't. Also, I hear Norway was ranked the most democratic country in the world, as well as being higher than 90% atheist. I like Norway.

I'm from Norway and i feel more Norwegian than just European but i have a deep love for food and drink, especially beer. Belgian, German, Irish, British ales are my favorites. I also love Italian food and French/Belgian sweets. So i am becoming more and more European the more of the cuisines of different countries i try and learn.
I like europe in its diversity but i look upon the increasing ghettos with distaste. I am not particularily racist but so many come to my country with no respect or even outright hatred for our culture. Many even think we dont have a culture or morals and look upon the men as dogs and the women as whores. Hatred breeds hatred. They create their own societies that isolates them from the rest of the country and they treat the actual norwegians as if they were in THEIR country.
What i think of when i think of Europe?
Beer, food, a large variety of beutiful women especially blondes here in Norway, medieval legends and myths, ancient civilizations.
I'd love to travel more and when i do it will be Belgium, Holland, France, England, Germany and Italy.
