Why do Americans just group all of Europe together

Why do you keep saying 'we're going to Europe' when there's such a big difference between Paris and Dunblane lol

It's like Europeans who want to take a vacation in the US and think they'll be in New York on Monday and Las Vegas on Tuesday, without realizing the two places are about 2,500 miles apart and require a 5-hour flight.

@graphite Indeed!

Someone once told me his own neice found this when she travelled alone from England to visit relatives in California.

Her parents 'phoned her hosts to say she would arrive at New York at such-and-such a time, and asked if they could collect her there.

The answer was, "You are much closer to New York than we are!"
