Not to keep trying to drift off topic but it just seemed unfamiliar to me people talking about traveling to places a few hundred miles away and everything being so different.

Here, I can get up in the morning, go to starbucks for coffee, eat breakfast at mcdonalds, buy a magazine at walmart. Get on a plane. Travel 3,000 miles away. Get off the plane. Have dinner at mcdonalds, have another coffee at starbucks and stop by walmart to pick up some pretzils. Although the irony is I would never eat at mcdonalds, drink coffee from starbucks, or shop at a walmart.
