Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 9706964" data-attributes="member: 1">It is something that gets said in 100% of conversations about travel in the US along with the obligatory identical anecdote about the European visitors who stayed with them and were AMAZED that you couldn’t drive from New York to LA and back in a day. I’m convinced it’s one European family who travels the US Borat-style visiting everybody one-by-one in alphabetical order like Bowerick Wowbagger pretending they’ve never seen a map before. One day they’ll release the compilation in a 9,000 hour YouTube video where they act increasingly amazed in each encounter until they literally explode at the end.And then somebody trots out that tedious “in Europe 100 miles is a long way while in the US 100 years is a long time” line like we haven’t heard it 72,000 times before, and my ears start bleeding.</blockquote>
