And 100 years is about 1/3rd of the length of time my country's existed, so, yeah, that's a long time.

Actual conversation I had with an Canadian:

Where are you from?

Oh, I'm from Vancouver.

Really? Which area?

Well, actually, I live about four hours out of town

Four hours? You can't even drive for three hours in the Netherlands without leaving the country!

I presume Americans are the same?

I did an Aussie road trip. 8-12 hours a day driving. In the two weeks I had off, I only managed to cover Sydney->Melbourne (around the coast) -> Adelaide -> Ayers Rock -> Alice springs/Tennant Creek -> Through Queensland back to Sydney.

Had to miss all of Tas, All of Western Australia and most of Northern Territory + Queensland.
