honestly I love seeing non-American people freak out about the geography of our country
when we say that in America you can drive for 45 minutes and only get to the next walmart we aren’t kidding
It takes me an hour to go 11 miles on my commute into work. And fun fact: it takes EIGHTEEN HOURS to drive through Texas going east to west. That’s one state.
I told my friend in English I was moving from New York to Texas. When I told her that was a 30 hour drive she could hardly believe it.
As someone who lives in Texas I can verify this. When I went to Seattle in January I was flabbergasted that I could get from the airport to downtown in 20 minutes or so. I was like ‘how?” because I literally can’t get across town here in 20 minutes, let alone to the next town.
Also, I live around the middle of Texas and when I drove to Orlando, Florida a few years back, New Olreans was halfway. In other words leaving this state got me halfway to Florida which is the East Coast.
Tbh Americans are so funny they’re like “OMYGOD THERE’S A CONCERT NEAR MY HOUSE its like a 3 hours drive!!!!”
and Europeans are like “WTF A 3 HOUR DRIVE ARE YOU KIDDING IM NOT GOING TO FRANCE FOR THAT??!!!”

Europeans: I drove forty minutes to the Netherlands for some groceries and then I popped into Germany to see some of my relatives before driving back home.
Americans: I was in Florida, I drove for nine hours, now I’m still in Florida.
#australians: i drove for nine hours #now i’m nine hours away from home #no one is here #the streets are empty #how did this happen #where has civilisation gone #i am alone in the universe #oh wait no there’s an echidna it’s okay
Canadians: We left Toronto 2 days ago, We are still in Ontario, food is scarce. We are lost, soon we will have to eat each other to survive, oh wait there’s a tims we’re good.
Russians: I was in Yakutia, I drove for twenty eight hours, now I’m still in Yakutia, I travelled by train for 6 days, I’m still in Russia. Don’t even try to leave Russia. Don’t forget: you’re here forever. Accept it and suffer.
Since moving to America I’ve found that apparently very few Americans know all this. So I spent six hours designing a fancy photoset to explain it all. Naturally.
(EDIT: I’ve made a number of corrections and removed a couple of generalisations/oversimplifications in response to a few snide comments. Hope this helps.)
