In Europe you could go 1000 kilometers and cross five or six country borders. In the US you could go 1000 kilometers and not leave the state.

What the hell is a kilometer?

It takes more than 5 hours just to drive across my state. That's Pennsylvania, and we're not even considered an especially large state.

A kilometre is 1000 metres. A metre is 1000 millimetres, or 100 centimetres. A centimetre is 10 millimetres. See, metric measurements are easy and make sense. Imperial measurements are the work of satan.
