Which is crazy since Luxemburg has its own language while Texas is speaking the same as Ireland which is already bigger than Luxemburg

Europeans thinking a 2h trip is a long ass trip. Then they come visit North America thinking they can visit from coast to coast by car in two weeks.

North Americans going to Europe thinking it’ll take 4 hours to go from one city to the next when they can actually cross three whole countries in that time frame.

The most culture shock I’ve ever experienced was being in southern France, craving some Italian, and realizing I can literally just go to Italy for dinner.

Hahahahaha right??? Ain’t that crazy?

Edit:

Same happened to me. Was in South West of France. Saw a board on the highway that said Barcelona was 3h away. Like what???

So we went to Barcelona for a weekend because why the fuck not.

Honestly I blame American TV for this. Especially anything involving the FBI! In Hannibal they zip between states non stop like it’s nothing. I assume it’s all supposed to be happening over many days, but it just seems like they’re going to and from work in Minnesota and home in Virginia lol

What would happen if you divide Alaska in two equally-sized states? Texas becomes the third largest state.

Alaska could be split into four equal states & Texas would be the fifth biggest.
