Upvote for the Magellanic Clouds!

It's not possible to see the milky way with the naked eye in the USA because of our excessive street/car lighting etc. All those lights wouldn't be necessary if you could actually adjust to the dark by not having bright lights shining directly in your eyes all the time. Too little light never hurt anybody's eyes, but too much light easily can (even the reflection of the sun on a glossy car can damage your retinas). There's nothing nearly that glossy in our ancestral habitat. Moonlight is plenty for navigation and reading if you give your eyes 10-30min to adjust (without being screwed up by glare from artificial lights).

Uh, you can see the milky way in North America, dude. You just have to get away from the city lights to do so.
