It is always amusing when West European friends and relatives visit. Distances are so much shorter there between countries. We are in New York and they'll say "let's drive to Texas tomorrow" thinking it would be a day trip or something of that scale.

A friends cousin from Australia visited Austria and upon hearing that he will drive to another country brought 5 kilos of food and a sleeping bag. The drive was an hour and a half.
