The world laughs at Americans because they seem so unaware of anything outside their own borders. Well, a client reports on an American colleague returning to the US head office after a business trip to Sydney. “You know Australia?” he told his office-mates. “It’s almost like another country!” Yeah. Almost. God bless America.

Unfortunately it is true, even to the point that some Americans will find parts of Australia more like home than other parts of America.
I have done a couple of US road trips and spent time in a number of midwest towns, other than the lack of big pubs on the main street it could of been a country town in Western Australia.
