I live 60 miles away from the next major city, 100 miles away from second nearest city, 350 from Philly, 400 from New York so I doubt it
Pau would take a bus between Pittsburgh and New York twice a weekend sometimes
Wait till you get to Alaska. It's that distance between villages
I never said it was more than in the US ;p but it's not as easy to travel in between countries as you'd imagine. I guess the states are better equipped when dealing with this because they're used to it.
people also tend to think I can easily make it to Munich or Berlin in just a half-day's journey or even less.

Well Munich to Berlin is the distance from here to New York and some people do a one day business trip there and back so....
But that's a good idea for your first video. Live stream you taking a long trip that isn't far away and show Americans how tedious it really is

I've done day trips for work with 600-900 km of driving. Much prefer to split that over two days.

Interesting point from Twitter: So George Bush has been accepted now, but Nader is evil for...allowing George Bush to be president? Whaaa?
Oh I don't get worked up about it, I was just saying why I dislike it. People can like what they like I don't care (mostly)

it's a bit more. and it's still about 6 hours with a car, longer with busses etc.Well you have only 440 km to Munich and 540 km to Berlin though
a lot of people tend to be like "hayoo I know you're german, I'm in Berlin rn, come say hello real quick!" which is not that easily done.
business people usually take the plane which is faster but also more expensive. even though just taking the train is already about 130 (only one way).Well Munich to Berlin is the distance from here to New York and some people do a one day business trip there and back so....

I guess Berlin has a fairly good train connection since it's the capital but I already took a longer time visiting other cities. it really always depends.

Yeah I get that.
"I'm in Pennsylvania right now so that has to be pretty close to you right?"
"Where in Pennsylvania?"
"Philly"
"...."
130 seems pretty expensive tbh

I guess the point is that America makes it easier to travel around because it has such great distances. I think it's also way more common/accesible to fly to places within the country.
Germany may be smaller in general but it doesn't mean you can just walk from town to town. same with Europe. I mean if I really wanted to go somewhere it's definitely possible but not that easy/cheap whatever. which is part of the reason why my bestie moving to Hamburg is so sad
Saw the new episode of westworld. I'll get into more detail about what I thought when everyone's seen it, but it's certainly a great episode, if the last episode did all the heavy lifting of setting the plot and premise up, this episode did all the lifting on initial character development and introducing new key players.
Judging by this episode Anthony Hopkins is gonna be more than the mysterious owner who probably has all the answers, he's got his own mystery going on and I look forward to seeing what happens with it.

Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit(well a suburb), Chicago, indianapolis, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, NYC, buffalo, philly, Baltimore, DC, Raleigh, charlotte, Annapolis, and Virginia Beach tho. Takes awhile to get anywhere but it's not like there's a choice.
6 hours with car sounds right with all roadworks / delays
I know that my relatives from the States were quite baffled with the fact that I needed almost 11 hour drive from here to Brussels, they thought that is 'max four hour drive' lol.

i try to fly when going to florida because a 10+ hour car ride from maryland is no fun

Yup. Or charter bus(if it's with a school). It's rare to take the train here and I've never taken a public transportation bus either.
People from the Boston/New York/ philly area definitely seem to have issues with the concept of distance. They all get shocked when I tell them I live closer to Toronto than I do to them
It's such a crap drive too. Fuck the 5 freeway. Well, at least the grapevine can get a little dicey.
Oh and you can always smell when you're driving by Harris Ranch. I actually stopped there once and dropped a deuce. It felt appropriate.
Long car rides are fun.
But not in heavy rain / heavy snow.
Yeah, they are from northern Florida.

That's the smell of industry. Communist pinko.

What is a potluck?
I would need almost 8 hours from here to trab's place. /Creepy EuroGAF mode off
A potluck is a gathering where each guest contributes a dish of food, often homemade, to be shared.
Genius idea - bake cookies.
Everyone brings a dish. It has a few different terms depending on the region

pasta salad. super easy.
pasta, olive oil, some vinegar, dried tomatoes, basil, rocket salad. this is my favorite :3
yep, that's about the same drive from columbus to philly, though I'd usually prefer to fly.. I hate driving
what about cake? is that allowed?
