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.
2h is a long ass trip we’ve just been gaslit
If only we had a high speed rail system like in Japan…
Am European. I drove from sfo to nyc in 4.5 days. Would I do that again? No.
Same, took 5. Still brutal as hell
No we don’t think 2 hours is a long ass trip. We think 2 hours is a long ass commute.
