What's really amazing is how few from outside of North America have been to the United States.

When I was working in London, I learned how small the world is outside NA. I worked with Kiwis, Aussies, North Africans, Chinese, and remarkably few actual English. No one thought anything of popping off to Europe or Oz or South Africa. Oddly enough, none of them had ever been to the United States, but most of them had been to Canada at least a half-dozen times.

The obvious exception is the Irish, most of whom talk about Boston as if it were a short train ride from Dublin.
