Agreed. But in a general sense of course. As there are people in Europe who have travelled the US and who have a different point of view.I think Europeans, with the exception of the English, have a hard time recognizing how diverse the US is. And they all have a hard time recognizing how large it is. Print a map of the US on one page of an atlas, and print a map of Germany on the opposite page, and you get the feeling they are the same size.
