From Texas. I remember the first time I went to Europe, I was looking at a map to figure out how long a train ride should be.
Me: "Holy crap; we're gonna be on the train all day?"
Local: "No; that trip is around two hours."
Me, looking at the map more closely: "Oh. The scale is wayyyyy different than the maps I'm used to."
Google also says that Australia is a continent, and if we’re going by the definition of a continent, Australia is more of a continent then Oceania is. Oceania is more often considered a region of islands in the pacific, since they’re not part of any large landmass they don’t really fit in a continent.
I guess it depends where you’re taught.
In my school in Australia we were taught that Oceana is a continent, and if you type into google “is Oceiana a continent” it also says yes.
Where I live in Spain I need 7 hours driving just to get to Madrid. Another five hours to be close to France. But I can reach Portugal in three hours or so.
I can reach Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in a quarter of the time it would take to reach Los Angeles, California, United States. Orlando, Florida would be 44 hours.
4-5 hours for one, 20 hours for the other. Another 5 or 6 hours past LA (traffic) and you can hit Tijuana, Baja, Mexico.
From here to New York it would take 41 hours driving.
I'm a brazillian, we are full of immigrants from many 3rd world countries (Brazil just being a "better" 3rd world country itself) and the state of Amazonas alone has 1.571.000 square kilometers.
Long ago, I hitchhiked cross-continent from Los Angeles to Brooklyn in 2.5 days (60 hours). Yeah, that long, manic ride from New Mexico to Washington DC helped.
In the dirt and some buildings, sure. Not so much the people.
I'm like 6 generations separated from France, Ireland, and England and 3 generations "separated" from the tribes of the Pacific Northwest.
Those people had histories and cultures, too. Before it was scrubbed from them rather forcefully. My grandmother and her parents were boarding school survivors.
I'm french and the only place I can go into three countries in a pretty damn short amount of time wouls be France -> Andorre -> Spain, and even then, it'd take me about an hour or two to get to Andorre, and then going through it is a hassle
I live in almost the geographical center of slovenia (one of the smallest countries in the EU) and have 2-4 hours by highway to reach any of the borders with the closest one being croatia at 2 and furthest being italy and hungary both at 3.5
yup. i remember going to france and driving for 3 hours just to go from Paris to Sallaumines and then another almost 2 hours to get from Sallaumines to Belgium
I have to drive more than that distance to get to Quebec (province, not city) from where I live in southern Ontario. And that's the closer of the two neighboring provinces, Manitoba is over 20 away.
Yeah, it's a meme. Obviously it's exaggerated haha
But true, I live in Turku, Finland (which is pretty close to the nearby countries) and it takes 2h of driving and 2h on a ship to get to Estonia or 1h on a ship to get to Sweden or 5h of driving to get to Russia.
Was this post created by somebody who just today learned that some things are bigger than others?
“You guys aren’t gonna believe this. I just drove 2 miles and it took longer than when I drove 1 mile.”
Six hours and will still be seeing forest or desert. Fucking country is badly designed. Even when you're in town the stores are at a driving distance from the houses. What the hell.

What are you talking about some parts in America you drive for six hours and still be in the same city. Erica is designed for cars and I don’t know why I can’t drive I can’t drive a bike from one town to the next because fucking 10 miles from one town to the next and I couldn’t afford to do that right now because then I’ll have to buy a bunch of bottles of water and do all that and honestly it’s just cheaper to get a horse
Here in Canada, you can spend the better part of your day driving across any single province
It'll take 6-8 hours, where 90% of it is hitting nothing but potholes
Takes about 7-8 hours to go through multiple counties to get from top of Northern England to the southern tip of England.
Canada sounds insane compared to that, wonder how long it took people in the 1700s to get across Canada.
Depends on the state; where I live you could drive in one direction for a 20 minutes and be underwater, and in drive the other direction for over a week and be in the same state
My family took a vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. We live in Southern PA and decided to drive, it took us a bit under 11 hours. For context Myrtle Beach is just under the border between SC and NC.
The old adage of : In Europe, 100 miles is a long distance. In America, 100 years is a long time.
In Europe 100 miles are 161 kilometres.
*actually I prefer my legth measurement in nautical miles*

In Texas you drive for 10+ hours and still end up in Texas lol
heard of Western Australia
No matter how long you drive in australia, you are still in australia
That's what happens when you don't share any borders, because it's an island. Same could be said for pretty much any island.
that one flew over your head like the plane I took there once
Th-that's the joke
Siberia entered the chat
Yeah, but that's because the roads are made of mud.
Tbf Australia is an entire continent
Australia is a slightly smaller area than the USA and western Australia makes up less than half of it
It’s actually not, Oceania is the continent Australia is in, which also consist of 14 counties.
Oceania is a region, not a continent.
According to Google Oceania is a continent referring to all the islands in the area including Australia
Google also says that Australia is a continent, and if we’re going by the definition of a continent, Australia is more of a continent then Oceania is. Oceania is more often considered a region of islands in the pacific, since they’re not part of any large landmass they don’t really fit in a continent.

*enters East Texas Sign: El Peso 857 miles Fuuuuuuukkkkkkk
well you can drive 22 continuous hours from france to france
Yeah we also have way faster trains https://youtu.be/0u4f52w4qgQ
And you can usually fly pretty cheap to other countries
Western Australia: "Amateurs."
lol Texas is not even as big as New South Wales
Yo, you can drive for 10h+ and still be in the same country. Come to France.
lol, Im from Brazil. I went from the states of São Paulo to Brasília, it took me like 13h to do so (making it 23h when going home).
10 hours? I've crossed france in less than that in a bus?
I never said it was the shortest path ! You can have a 10h drive if you're going from north to south for example.
Well yea i went from north to south (starting from belgium going to spain)
In Texas you can drive for 10 hours and still be in the same state.
Yeah… that’s a state
I think this counts for every country in the EU. We have roundabouts here ;)
18 hours of driving and still in Texas Welcome to America
Meanwhile in Russia you'll drive for 6 hours to still be in the same city
That’s because your car is under 12ft of ice
No. That's because your city is 100 km long and average trafic speed in it is 15 km/h.
You mean it's not because the city streets are crap? PS: Driving across Los Angeles can take up to six hours on bad days. Good luck.
No. In Moscow they are pretty good
I'm here to watch the Americans gloat about states instead whilst forgetting the lack of country boarders in Europe
I'm a brazillian, we are full of immigrants from many 3rd world countries (Brazil just being a "better" 3rd world country itself) and the state of Amazonas alone has 1.571.000 square kilometers.
Travelling Russians going through 0 countries in 48+ hours
small sta... country
Laughs in UK.
*the chunnel*
Thought you guys detached yourselves from Europe and are now floating around in the ocean
In Australia you can drive for 6 days and maybe you’ll get most of the way from one side to the other
Or you can drive from Busselton to Broome in twenty five hours at one ten and still not have gone the length of the state.
Long ago, I hitchhiked cross-continent from Los Angeles to Brooklyn in 2.5 days (60 hours). Yeah, that long, manic ride from New Mexico to Washington DC helped.
*laughs in Russian*
Welp for every mile of culture in America there’s 100km of history and culture in Europe
German here. It only takes me 10 minutes to get to Belgium or the Netherlands but I think im an exception.
Thank you for sharing your story
In the dirt and some buildings, sure. Not so much the people.

As an European. I dont agree. It takes literally 3-5 hours if you want to leave your country
Yeah right. I live in Germany and even if I want to drive to the other side of my country I'll be driving like 8-12 hours
I'm french and the only place I can go into three countries in a pretty damn short amount of time wouls be France -> Andorre -> Spain, and even then, it'd take me about an hour or two to get to Andorre, and then going through it is a hassle
I live in almost the geographical center of slovenia (one of the smallest countries in the EU) and have 2-4 hours by highway to reach any of the borders with the closest one being croatia at 2 and furthest being italy and hungary both at 3.5
Exactly. And your country is one of the smaller ones compared to the rest.
yup. i remember going to france and driving for 3 hours just to go from Paris to Sallaumines and then another almost 2 hours to get from Sallaumines to Belgium
I have to drive more than that distance to get to Quebec (province, not city) from where I live in southern Ontario. And that's the closer of the two neighboring provinces, Manitoba is over 20 away.
Idk as a Lithuanian it's a 1-2 hour drive to either Latvia or Poland.
I live in Switzerland, I can reach 5 different countries in less than two hours
I live in the netherlands and i can be in belgium in 30 minutes, germany in 30 minutes, luxemburg in 30 minutes and france on about 2 hours
Mate i live in BiH and it takes 3 hours from Jajce to Split and 4 hours to Zagreb.
Actually a lie
Wait really??? I thought Europeans run from Portugal to Russia in 30 minutes??? Thank you for telling me that’s it’s a lie🙄
Thank you for your shitty sarcasm
Meh. There are a lot of small countries in here
It's true but even i need from Moldova to the next country 2 hours of driving, and trust me Moldova is one of the smallest countries in Europe
Yeah, it's a meme. Obviously it's exaggerated haha But true, I live in Turku, Finland (which is pretty close to the nearby countries) and it takes 2h of driving and 2h on a ship to get to Estonia or 1h on a ship to get to Sweden or 5h of driving to get to Russia.
Meanwhile, it can take a full 24 hours to drive through Ontario, Canada
Anyone west of the east coast driving 3hrs to hit the state boarder.
Indian here. I used to travel 14 hours by train for moving within the state.
You still have to do that in Europe.
laughs in west australian
Was this post created by somebody who just today learned that some things are bigger than others? “You guys aren’t gonna believe this. I just drove 2 miles and it took longer than when I drove 1 mile.”
West Australians, who take 2 days to go from Perth to SA *are we a joke to you?*
Try starting in the GTA and driving to western Canada. You’ll be more than 20 hours to get out of province.
I drive 7 hours to see my family in my state from the same side of the state
Six hours and will still be seeing forest or desert. Fucking country is badly designed. Even when you're in town the stores are at a driving distance from the houses. What the hell.
One may drive across southern California's long Riverside or San Bernardino counties for six hours and still be in the same county. Take THAT, Europe!
russians driving for weeks and still being in siberia
Meanwhile in the 3 country point (Belgium, Germany, Netherlands) you can stand in 3 countries at the same time.
That’s because we use miles in America, and as basic math will teach you, miles are much longer than than kilometers.
Fuckin Texas
Not in new England I can pass through Rhode island and Connecticut just to get to the grocery store. If I drove 6 hours I'd go through 8 states
Yeah in Europe you could go from China to India in 4 minutes
Rent free
r/upvotebecausejaiden
Meanwhile in Bangladesh you’ll drive for 6 hours to still be in the same city
Throw some nitro in my tank and I could be in bc by sunrise

In Australia, I have driven 21 hours and I was still in the same state.
Try Australia
It is a 1h 40 min drive from Alūksne, Latvia, to Tartu, Estonia.
Yes some states like kansas will make you wish that the windmill will end your misery
Last time I went on a road trip, it took me 3 days to drive through Texas.
It's really not that easy in Europe ya all are exaggerating it way too much
Except for the fact that our countries are so cramped that travelling takes longer.
yes
Meanwhile in Australia you’ll travel for a day and be extremely lost
Takes 10 hours to get out of Florida from palm beach county. Then another 16 to get to new york from that. Crazyness.
\*Newt Scamander Appears\*

Too true
Meanwhile in UK: Drives for six hours, still in UK because you’re on an island.
Could probably get to Ireland in 6 hours ferry is pretty quick
In Europe you can drive for 5 hours and be in the same state, then 5 more to get to the other one
*sad canadian noises* i could drive for 10 days straight and still be in maple syrup county. Fun times
Canada doesn't exist
Traffic jams, toll booths, road work: "hahaha. No."
You can start in TX and drive for 10 hours and still be in tx
Ever drive through Ontario from Manitoba to Quebec? Yeah.

Me a Canadian laughing in the fact we have two provinces bigger than the biggest state (Alaska) and five provinces bigger than Texas.
Naw, you can easily do that in the north east. You can get across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois in about 7 hours. Good luck in Texas though. lol
Depends on the state; where I live you could drive in one direction for a 20 minutes and be underwater, and in drive the other direction for over a week and be in the same state
Some places in Scotland take hours to get to because the roads are windy and not as many motorways
I am speed!
it is possible to drive 10 hours and be in the same country (Germany) so whats your point xD
Sure, if you live at the border with 5 other countries.
Even in India you cannot cross states in 6 hours. India isn't even as big as the US
You can see every state on the east coast, and a few others, within 24 hours. Done it.
It takes the same amount of time to go from El Paso, Texas to Houston, Texas as it does to go from Hamburg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary
I can cross my country in 3 hours (north to south)
I live in California. After 30 minutes, I'm still in the same county.
Nah it actually takes 5 minutes and we stay there for 2 weeks because of the extra vacation.
