Europeans:
I drove forty minutes to the Netherlands for some groceries and then I popped into Germany to see some of my relatives before driving back home.
Americans:
I was in Florida, I drove for nine hours, now I'm still in Florida.
Australians:
I drove for nine hours. Now I'm nine hours away from home. No one is here. There is nothing here. How did this happen? Where has civilization gone? I am alone in the universe. Hey, look, an impossibly cute marsupial!
Canadians:
We left Toronto 2 days ago, We are still in Ontario, food is scarce. We are lost, soon we will have to eat each other to survive. Oh wait, there's a Tim's, we're good.
Russians:
I was in Yakutia, I drove for twenty eight hours, now I'm still in Yakutia. I traveled by train for 6 days, I'm still in Russia. Don't even try to leave Russia. Don't forget: you're here forever. Accept it and suffer.
