I visited from the US as a small boy and they were holding the annual Ferrari meet. For an 8 year old it was like smoking crack. Literally hundreds of the cars I had on my bedroom wall posters.
Bryan Adams “everything I do” was on constant repeat on Italian radio, so you can guess the year on that.
Ask your Grandpa. If he gave a ride around the block, and a roundabout to a random Black American guy. In about Late 98/early 99. In his Testarossa, in Cervia. I was a bit drunk, and not sure which trip to Cervia it was. But I'll never forget that night, and that car. It's a long shot but it would be cool to catch up with that guy.
There have certainly been higher highs, and thankfully they keep coming, though certainly at a slower pace. I made it back to Europe for nearly 10 years of being a nightlife professional, so it definitely got wilder for a while.
I’m a happy Manhattan dad these days, and couldn’t pick a better place. I make it out to a big party now and then and am still treated nicely. I’m quite happy. I don’t own a Ferrari.
That's just wild. I only know Disney's size because it's also bigger, by a little bit, than the town I grew up in. It's crazy that there are countries roughly the same size as my hometown.
Seriously speaking, it's practically the same as in Romagna (the geographical region San Marino is part of), but we have some benefits bound to taxes, property and work.
We have our own festivities but our culture, local language, dishes are similar as those of Rimini (our historical rival) and the region broadly speaking.
Most people go to Italy regularly to visit friends, and many Italians living at the border come here when it's a benefit for them, for example to buy something that is less taxed (same that happens at the Swiss border).

In such a small state, this is how long it takes to cross my country from end to end... with traffic.
If I consider the paved paths in this square enclave of Germany: about 10 meters

I did some research and [found it on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vennbahn). The house was really easy to find, but there's a bunch of random German exclaves on the West side of that road running there.
That's because that road there was the Vennbahn, which was built partially across German territory in the 1880s for transporting iron and coal. After WWI, the treaty of Versailles required the German Reich to cede portions of territory to Belgium which caused the railroad to pass in and out of German territory several times. Belgium demanded that the Vennbahn be placed under Belgian administration because of its economic importance for Malmedy and Eupen. In 1920, the Belgian and German borders were officially moved such that it created 6 German exclaves on the West side of the railway and its stations. In 1940, Germany annexed the area putting the railway fully under German control, but after German defeat in 1945 the borders were restored to how they were in 1920 and it remains that way to this day.
That one house just happened to fall barely within the German border prior to the construction of the railway, but just barely on the West side of the railway.

Albany to Kununurra in Western Australia.. 36 hours.
I’ve personally only done a more popular route.. Perth to Exmouth, about 12 hours straight up the coast. This inland route is likely going to have a lot more trucks than cars.
And far fewer overtaking lanes. I've done coastal and inland trips too many times, and that's the biggest takeaway. Forget safely overtaking road trains doing 90 on the inland route.
This route is mostly the great northern highway. Pretty heavily travelled in comparison, huge route for trucks and all that for supplying all the mine sites and towns in the north of the state. There's a few relativly large towns along it as well.
I've done a few WA road trips, including one from perth to broome
> what's the drive like?
boring. there is damn near fuckall to see in rural oz. it all looks the same inland, but beaches are nice if you drive the coast.
> how are the road conditions?
1 lane each direction most of the way. should all be paved, but you may have to take detours on dirt roads, so be prepared for that. Flash flooding can be prevalent in the north depending on seasons, so do research, have a solid plan in place, and know your and your car's limits.
> heavily traveled area?
not really. Main travel is mining, but it's heavily seasonal. seems like most stuff north of carnarvon closes during the summer, so be aware of that.
this trip looks intense for a first experience in aussie roadtrips, but as long as you pack enough water, you probably won't die.
I recall a documentary about this drive a few years back. People tend to drive in groups, and loud music is popular. Sometimes competition over gasoline can get a little intense.
No need to, but you do have to plan carefully - you have to get fuel at specific towns/roadhouses or you will run out before the next one, and some are *not* open 24 hours
Queensland and Western Australia are huge, but even my more modestly-sized home state of South Australia is significantly larger than Spain or France.

About 84 minutes/95km. I live in one of the most populous LGAs (Local Government Area; county-equivalents) in the country. It's near a major city, and the metro LGAs tend to be relatively small.
In the same state, there's an LGA covering 94,000km^(2) with a population of about 300. They vary in size a lot.
Agreed! Southrrn Ontario resident here, and it's quicker for me to drive to Florida than Winnipeg!

Cold. Passes impenetrable. Ate boots back a fortnight. Ate ma' two nights ago. I can hear the call of the void whistling in the black spruce and feel the crunch of the Tamarack needles beneath my bare feet. Returned to the earth, but destined for rebirth in a new spring. I envy the Tamarack.
I actually looked up the relevant trees to make it feel more realistic lol. Closest I've been is probably Alberta 20 years ago, as a child. I know it's cold as fuck though and that route looks to go through some of the most desolate frigid regions on the planet...I'm happy with the comparatively mild new england winters.
Brought me right back to the Donner party book I read for an undergrad history class years ago—just had to adapt the feel for Canada. I'm glad at least one person read it—usually the comments I spend a little more effort on get buried anyways lmao.
Nothing like doing a deep dive after your curiosity was piqued by a post/comment. Hours later you go to reply and have to split into four comments but by this point it's been long enough nobody sees it.
LOL FUCKING YES. I was gonna comment this but I felt myself fading into indecision and had to just send it before I got lost in the void again. I feel seen.
On this drive, the mountains are only in BC and Yukon, although about 1800km of the drive between Winnipeg and Toronto is quite hilly and heavily forested. From Winnipeg to the mountains is about 2000km of plains on this drive (it's only 1400km further south).
The cross-Canada drive is incredible and worth doing if you're a fan of road trips and can be done comfortably in 8 days (5 if aggressive). That said, if you're going such a long distance, you may as well sniff the roses on the way. I don't know about driving further north, but I expect it's stunning.
I'm missing about 23 hours with this one but weather wise I believe they would be total opposites

Russia is over 2.5x as wide as the moon so that checks out. If it was 3.14x as wide, a straight shot east to west would be the length of the moon’s circumference.
It's cool that having to curve around central Asia to stay in the same country makes that the longest route, even though there are longer lines that can be drawn between two points. (Unless you also can't drive to those far eastern parts, like with a lot of northern Canada.)
I've always found it wild that you could start a road trip in Russia that mirrors what you get in Canada, where it just gets thinner and more remote. Except at the far end of the Russian road trip is North Korea. The best we get is that leftover French outpost off Newfoundland.
They are, which is why I am furious the company in France closed and was replaced by trucks. We used to put our car on the train in Paris late afternoon, take the high speed train the next morning for a comfortable 5 hours trip down to the Spanish border, get our car in the train station parking and drive the dozen kilometres left to our holiday place. A big difference from a 11 hours drive if the traffic was good. With a truck you have to hand over your car five days before. No way, we need it.
This is really putting things in perspective for me. I always imagined India was around as tall as the US, but 2 days driving is much further.
I've gone from the north east to south east US a few times and it's about 24 hrs drive time so India is almost twice as long driving.
Could part of it be road conditions too? In the US there is one large highway (95) that goes along the whole east coast, but if you're route is all side roads, it could be similar distance.

Croatia is pretty interesting. Small country, but because of its shape you get to travel 961 km without stopping (9h 22m).
Dobro Dan!
So, Hrvatska is where I'm probably going to retire to in 10-15 years. My parents were born there & the citizenship is essentially complete (thank fuck I saved all the old passports & birth certificates I had from FFRY).
So, my question is: having a CDL in the states, does it translate in any way to driving semi's in HR?
Dobar dan i tebi!
Living in Croatia is great in my opinion. I've lived my whole life in Zagreb and can't imagine moving anywhere else. Lots of hikes nearby, you can get to the seaside in no-time + it's extremely safe. Only downside is the low salaries and relatively high food prices, but with a foreign pension it shouldn't be an issue.
Regarding the driver's license, I have no idea, but seems there's some info here - https://hr.usembassy.gov/driving-in-croatia/

The version of this question I like the most is "how long do you have to drive to get to a place where most people speak a different language". In the US is synonymous with the whole country, except for secluded communities I guess, whereas in Europe is like 2-6 hours in most cases XD
Not only speak another language, but all the road signs, TV shows, radio etc etc are in another language. I can find communities here in Minnesota that speak another language but for me to find a place that is completely enveloped in another language I have to drive almost 20 hours to Quebec or over 20 hours to get to Mexico. And the Americas overall are not all that diverse with the national languages. English, French, Spanish and Portuguese are about all you'll find for mass media communication.
Edit, I think Aruba or 1 other small Caribbean Island might speak Dutch.

I’ve met many people in my life but never anyone from Ghana. How cool! What’s life like over there? Is there a dish that people from other countries must try that represents your country the best? How many languages can you speak?
I don’t live there any more. But I visit often ~ twice a year. Life is at a slower pace. Most people speak English or a broken English called pidgin. Aside that, almost everyone speaks one of 9 major language (42+ if I remember correctly from primary school). Right now the country is going to an economic crisis, so… there’s that.
Football (soccer) is the national sport. The country comes to a standstill when the men’s senior national team is playing. A lot of churches, you’d think Christianity started in Ghana.
It’s so difficult for me to keep it to one dish. Jollof is the buzz with non-Ghanaians, but fufu and banku are strong contenders.
I speak English + Twi. It’s an Akan dialect from kwa language group.

In Brazil, you can go from Sibauma Beach to São Bárbara, total of 5,441 km. The route includes more than 500km of dirty road through Amazon area, some rivers are crossed by ferry, not bridges. I doubt that the road is feasible during the rainy season.
In terms of subdivisions, so counties in the U.K. I can cycle from my home into probably 10 counties in around an hour-1.5 hours or 20 counties within 3 hours. So driving within my county is not a long drive!

Here in Maharashtra - India, one can go from Shiroda, Sindhudurg in Southwest to Sironcha, Gadchiroli in East for a distance of 1275 K.M. nonstop taking 26 hours without leaving the state. However, there is a shorter route which involves going through the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Telangana which cuts the distance and time to 940 K.M. and 17 hours.
Shiroda to Gondia in Northeast (1150 K.M. and 22 hours) is better candidate for longest intra travel through the state. An alternate intra state route is avaliable which increases the distance by 100 K.M. but reduces the time by an hour.

I knew San Marino was small but holy poop that's a short drive. I think you're smaller than Disneyworld.
San Marino (61 km²) is literally the largest of the 5 sovereign countries that are smaller than Disneyworld (111 km²).
That's just wild. I only know Disney's size because it's also bigger, by a little bit, than the town I grew up in. It's crazy that there are countries roughly the same size as my hometown.

I would like to know more about what life is like in la Serenissima Repubblica.
What's life like in San Marino? Do you often travel outside into Italy regularly?
Seriously speaking, it's practically the same as in Romagna (the geographical region San Marino is part of), but we have some benefits bound to taxes, property and work. We have our own festivities but our culture, local language, dishes are similar as those of Rimini (our historical rival) and the region broadly speaking. Most people go to Italy regularly to visit friends, and many Italians living at the border come here when it's a benefit for them, for example to buy something that is less taxed (same that happens at the Swiss border).

If I consider the paved paths in this square enclave of Germany: about 10 meters https://preview.redd.it/bcac1kocs38d1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=webp&s=853a8c1a5fd8920eb190ef796344e2c99ae9e39b

Why is that house in Germany?
I did some research and [found it on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vennbahn). The house was really easy to find, but there's a bunch of random German exclaves on the West side of that road running there. That's because that road there was the Vennbahn, which was built partially across German territory in the 1880s for transporting iron and coal. After WWI, the treaty of Versailles required the German Reich to cede portions of territory to Belgium which caused the railroad to pass in and out of German territory several times. Belgium demanded that the Vennbahn be placed under Belgian administration because of its economic importance for Malmedy and Eupen. In 1920, the Belgian and German borders were officially moved such that it created 6 German exclaves on the West side of the railway and its stations. In 1940, Germany annexed the area putting the railway fully under German control, but after German defeat in 1945 the borders were restored to how they were in 1920 and it remains that way to this day. That one house just happened to fall barely within the German border prior to the construction of the railway, but just barely on the West side of the railway. https://preview.redd.it/7bjgdzwyj58d1.png?width=603&format=png&auto=webp&s=63c779d83723c52d442c31019ba86463654b268d Edit: forgot to add the image containing the railway and exclaves on Google Maps

I live in Australia. I cannot leave my country by car. Used to live in a part of the state that was 13 hours to the nearest state border. You can do 30+ hours from one end of Queensland to the other.

What’s this drive like? How are the road conditions? Heavily traveled area? I’ll be doing this drive next year my first few days in Australia
I’ve personally only done a more popular route.. Perth to Exmouth, about 12 hours straight up the coast. This inland route is likely going to have a lot more trucks than cars.
And far fewer overtaking lanes. I've done coastal and inland trips too many times, and that's the biggest takeaway. Forget safely overtaking road trains doing 90 on the inland route.
Highly doubt it heavily traveled since most of the area it covers is uninhabited
This route is mostly the great northern highway. Pretty heavily travelled in comparison, huge route for trucks and all that for supplying all the mine sites and towns in the north of the state. There's a few relativly large towns along it as well.
Ahh yes the fury road. Great for supply runs to the bullet farm and gas town!
I’m awaited in Valhalla! Shiny and chrome!
Watch out for caravans and roadtrains then champ.
I've done a few WA road trips, including one from perth to broome > what's the drive like? boring. there is damn near fuckall to see in rural oz. it all looks the same inland, but beaches are nice if you drive the coast. > how are the road conditions? 1 lane each direction most of the way. should all be paved, but you may have to take detours on dirt roads, so be prepared for that. Flash flooding can be prevalent in the north depending on seasons, so do research, have a solid plan in place, and know your and your car's limits. > heavily traveled area? not really. Main travel is mining, but it's heavily seasonal. seems like most stuff north of carnarvon closes during the summer, so be aware of that. this trip looks intense for a first experience in aussie roadtrips, but as long as you pack enough water, you probably won't die.
'Probably' .. gotta love a bit of risk.
I recall a documentary about this drive a few years back. People tend to drive in groups, and loud music is popular. Sometimes competition over gasoline can get a little intense.
Thatsbait.gif
On this route would you need to take extra gas cans or is that just a issue if you’re going east to west across the country?
If you're going deep outback anywhere you should always have extra fuel and enough water for two days in the sun.
No need to, but you do have to plan carefully - you have to get fuel at specific towns/roadhouses or you will run out before the next one, and some are *not* open 24 hours

About 84 minutes/95km. I live in one of the most populous LGAs (Local Government Area; county-equivalents) in the country. It's near a major city, and the metro LGAs tend to be relatively small. In the same state, there's an LGA covering 94,000km^(2) with a population of about 300. They vary in size a lot.

Today I was Ontario. I drove west for 19 hours. Now I’m still in Ontario
Canada's new tourism tagline: Objects are farther than they appear.
Agreed! Southrrn Ontario resident here, and it's quicker for me to drive to Florida than Winnipeg! Also, the Winnipeg trip was about 25 hours - 24 in Ontario and 1 in Manitoba!

I've done the vast majority of this drive. Whitehorse to Toronto, multiple days.
I need a story time of the sights. What were the mountains like? How forested? I’d love to drive something like this
Cold. Passes impenetrable. Ate boots back a fortnight. Ate ma' two nights ago. I can hear the call of the void whistling in the black spruce and feel the crunch of the Tamarack needles beneath my bare feet. Returned to the earth, but destined for rebirth in a new spring. I envy the Tamarack.
Thank you for this
I actually looked up the relevant trees to make it feel more realistic lol. Closest I've been is probably Alberta 20 years ago, as a child. I know it's cold as fuck though and that route looks to go through some of the most desolate frigid regions on the planet...I'm happy with the comparatively mild new england winters. Brought me right back to the Donner party book I read for an undergrad history class years ago—just had to adapt the feel for Canada. I'm glad at least one person read it—usually the comments I spend a little more effort on get buried anyways lmao.
Nothing like doing a deep dive after your curiosity was piqued by a post/comment. Hours later you go to reply and have to split into four comments but by this point it's been long enough nobody sees it.
LOL FUCKING YES. I was gonna comment this but I felt myself fading into indecision and had to just send it before I got lost in the void again. I feel seen.
On this drive, the mountains are only in BC and Yukon, although about 1800km of the drive between Winnipeg and Toronto is quite hilly and heavily forested. From Winnipeg to the mountains is about 2000km of plains on this drive (it's only 1400km further south). The cross-Canada drive is incredible and worth doing if you're a fan of road trips and can be done comfortably in 8 days (5 if aggressive). That said, if you're going such a long distance, you may as well sniff the roses on the way. I don't know about driving further north, but I expect it's stunning.
The Shore of Superior is so nice I decided to move there. Highly Recommend.
I've crossed the border from Maine into NB and then drove to Banff. And I was on the way to Arizona. Long story, long drive.

That's longer than the circumference of the moon.
Russia is over 2.5x as wide as the moon so that checks out. If it was 3.14x as wide, a straight shot east to west would be the length of the moon’s circumference.
Russia is also bigger than Pluto.
haha amazing
It's cool that having to curve around central Asia to stay in the same country makes that the longest route, even though there are longer lines that can be drawn between two points. (Unless you also can't drive to those far eastern parts, like with a lot of northern Canada.)
I've always found it wild that you could start a road trip in Russia that mirrors what you get in Canada, where it just gets thinner and more remote. Except at the far end of the Russian road trip is North Korea. The best we get is that leftover French outpost off Newfoundland.
Is there a Canadian cannonball run?
Yes but they call it the moose march

Nice, is there a great difference between north and south Netherlands?
Not between these two ends of the road. Only the little panhandle in the southeastern corner has a different landscape.
Limburg is very hilly
only the south is tbh. North limburg is pretty much just a gradual slope
In the far north half the population speak West Frisian natively, which is fairly significant.
Not to be confused with West Frisian Dutch!
Also one of the closest languages to English.
This is similar to getting through the Holland Tunnel from Manhattan to New Jersey at 5pm on a Friday. Solidarity, friend!

The best thing is that car trains are unknown to American Google Maps, so they show up as ferries instead
Had to look up car trains, seems neat!
Amtrak has one
They are, which is why I am furious the company in France closed and was replaced by trucks. We used to put our car on the train in Paris late afternoon, take the high speed train the next morning for a comfortable 5 hours trip down to the Spanish border, get our car in the train station parking and drive the dozen kilometres left to our holiday place. A big difference from a 11 hours drive if the traffic was good. With a truck you have to hand over your car five days before. No way, we need it.
what I am German and I have never heard of car trains as a regular transportation mode? Why does it show up on google maps?
Because it's the only way to get off of Sylt within Germany. There is no road, only a railway dam. There is also a real ferry but it goes to Denmark

The actual longest length of road would be from TN to Mizoram.
This is really putting things in perspective for me. I always imagined India was around as tall as the US, but 2 days driving is much further. I've gone from the north east to south east US a few times and it's about 24 hrs drive time so India is almost twice as long driving. Could part of it be road conditions too? In the US there is one large highway (95) that goes along the whole east coast, but if you're route is all side roads, it could be similar distance.
In terms of mileage, they’re about the same. 3,206 km equals 1,992 miles whereas I-95, the US East Coast’s major highway, is 1,924 miles long.
The road conditions are much much worse. The highways are decent though.

Dobro Dan! So, Hrvatska is where I'm probably going to retire to in 10-15 years. My parents were born there & the citizenship is essentially complete (thank fuck I saved all the old passports & birth certificates I had from FFRY). So, my question is: having a CDL in the states, does it translate in any way to driving semi's in HR?
Dobar dan i tebi! Living in Croatia is great in my opinion. I've lived my whole life in Zagreb and can't imagine moving anywhere else. Lots of hikes nearby, you can get to the seaside in no-time + it's extremely safe. Only downside is the low salaries and relatively high food prices, but with a foreign pension it shouldn't be an issue. Regarding the driver's license, I have no idea, but seems there's some info here - https://hr.usembassy.gov/driving-in-croatia/

The version of this question I like the most is "how long do you have to drive to get to a place where most people speak a different language". In the US is synonymous with the whole country, except for secluded communities I guess, whereas in Europe is like 2-6 hours in most cases XD
Damn french-canadians making my answer only a few hours

I'm in Maine, so... same.
For me, it would be a five-kilometer drive.
I can walk there lol
Not only speak another language, but all the road signs, TV shows, radio etc etc are in another language. I can find communities here in Minnesota that speak another language but for me to find a place that is completely enveloped in another language I have to drive almost 20 hours to Quebec or over 20 hours to get to Mexico. And the Americas overall are not all that diverse with the national languages. English, French, Spanish and Portuguese are about all you'll find for mass media communication. Edit, I think Aruba or 1 other small Caribbean Island might speak Dutch.
I live in Texas, I would just have to drive across the city to find a neighborhood that is strictly Spanish speaking.

I’ve met many people in my life but never anyone from Ghana. How cool! What’s life like over there? Is there a dish that people from other countries must try that represents your country the best? How many languages can you speak?
I don’t live there any more. But I visit often ~ twice a year. Life is at a slower pace. Most people speak English or a broken English called pidgin. Aside that, almost everyone speaks one of 9 major language (42+ if I remember correctly from primary school). Right now the country is going to an economic crisis, so… there’s that. Football (soccer) is the national sport. The country comes to a standstill when the men’s senior national team is playing. A lot of churches, you’d think Christianity started in Ghana. It’s so difficult for me to keep it to one dish. Jollof is the buzz with non-Ghanaians, but fufu and banku are strong contenders. I speak English + Twi. It’s an Akan dialect from kwa language group.

15 hours and 1300km from Helsinki to Nuorgam.
Nuorgam to Hanko is longer.
Its a 6.5 hr drive from top to bottom of virginia Ave it's the 35th biggest state. That said, spain is huge. Only texas and Alaska are bigger.
That’s about the time to drive across Texas…. 😂

However, there is a shorter route which involves going through the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Telangana which cuts the distance and time to 940 K.M. and 17 hours. Shiroda to Gondia in Northeast (1150 K.M. and 22 hours) is better candidate for longest intra travel through the state. An alternate intra state route is avaliable which increases the distance by 100 K.M. but reduces the time by an hour.
