Ohhh, okay. The only place I've danced outside the U.S. is Japan, and that wasn't really the greatest experience of my life either (though I loved dancing in the States). It's hard when you're in an unfamiliar culture, though, because you already feel kind of vulnerable.
Also, I don't know how long ago you were 18, but the business has changed alot in just the last few years, never mind the last 20. (I started in the late 80's myself, and it was a completely different business back then.)
So yes, I can see how your experience would be different. Most of the girls on SW are from U.S. or Canada, though there are a number of regular posters from the U.K. and Australia as well. Not so many from other parts of the E.U. And most of them are currently dancers, though there a quite a few retired old vets like myself...
k, I'll shut up now. Sorry for the threadjack.
