Many South American / Mediterranean / Latin cultures also value family a lot (the U.S. has the stereotype of Italians: people of Spanish and Greek descent too).
I visit my family every single weekend. No exception. And that includes my uncles, cousins and grandparents when they were alive.
I guess that for our cultures, family is a very important part of our lives, a safety net, etc... The average American is very individualistic in comparison (it's not meant to be negative - the very same traits mean Americans are more self-reliant and adventurous)
Family is important to me, even extended family (cousins, uncles, aunts) but I don't have the luxury of being able to visit nearly as much as I would like. I live too far away from the lot of them and some more are spaced out all over the country anyways. Factors out of my control prevent me from living anywhere else in the world.
