I'll tell you a story:

One summer, I went on vacation in Europe. I rented a car and hopped from friend to friend, touring around.

When I came back, one of my workmates asked me:

"So you drove quite a few miles! How did you cope?"
"What do you mean 'cope'" I replied
"Well, Europeans drive on the left. Wasn't it confusing?"
"W...What?"

Turned out, the dude was totally convinced only Americans drove on the right.

Americans are fucking clueless about everything going on outside of their country, and largely clueless about what goes on inside of it too. They're honestly shamefully ignorant.

I mean for one this is by design, so that they don't know how fucked our country is, but also our country is the size of several European countries so it's not exactly apples to apples. Even state to state you can have wildly different traditions, house styles, etc.

I've been around a bit, but never west of the Rockies. California might as well be another country.

I’ve lived my entire life on the west coast. Please come visit! You’ll love it, from the south of California to the north of Washington!
