Their concept of distance is crazy though. The idea of driving a couple of hours is something people in the US don't think about.

True. I work with some folks from Europe. When I told them I was driving from Atlanta to New Mexico,, they had no concept of how far it was. When I told them how far it was in kilometers, they couldn't grasp the idea of a trip that long, especially one where you never had to go through a checkpoint or have a passport.
