It's amazing how much a one-hour flight can take you from one distinct culture to another...at least, depending if you are in Europe or in the US. Let me explain...in our travels in Europe so far, we've been immersed in not 2, or 3, but 4 very different lands, languages, cultures, and lifestyles...and all 4 places all within one hour's flight to each other.
Now, compare that to the US, or at least California, and a one hour flight will take you closer to the Golden Gate Bridge or Disneyland. Here's a comparison of words that we've used so far:
Hello
Bonjour
Guttentag
Hola
Cheers
Merci
Danke
Gracias
Compare to CA:
Hey
Sup
Really
Hella
So in conclusion, Europe is full of vastly diverse cultures and people fit into a relatively small region of land, while Californians are apparently like Matthew McConaughey.
