I think though this extends much deeper than the cultures. Urban dwellers romanticize rural lives with its share of tranquility, good neighbour relations, green grass and a nice stream. Countryside dwellers romanticize urbal lives with thoughts of McDs, Pizza Huts, fancy buildings, theme parks etc. And I think it is quite natural for being the creatures we are, we do want the best of everything.

When you're visiting a Western country, you'll long to be in an Eastern one. It's kind of like moving from state-to-state in the U.S. You think you'll find paradise on the West coast, but long for the NY skyline. Detachment helps to ease the "romanticizing" of cultures. Travel and experience the cultures with an open mind, don't build up any expectations in your head :) Good point on the romanticizing of cultures.
