You most likely don't know a bare shit about Belgium.Brussels was deliberately chosen as the capital of the EU due to the irrelevancy of the city and the country.
It's why they tried to move the US capital to St. Louis.
I'm old enough that we just got flat maps in school. Greenland looked twice the size of Australia. LolYeah, Europe ain't that big, it's mainly the commonly used mercator projection as well as euro-centrism that makes you think it is.
For the same reasons, most people will be surprised about the actual size of africa and latin america.
Just ride a bike geez!
Look at it this way. Distance from the north to south end of Calgary is something like 45 km. Distance from Szeged to Budapest (the #1 and #3 largest and most southern and northern major cities in Hungary) is 175 km or so.Eh?
What's this an argument for?
You have to drive the entire length of Texas for some reason?
I mean, the same thing applies in Europe - it's going to take time to get from Stockholm to Ankara - so I guess nobody in Europe should ride bikes?
I'm genuinely puzzled by your point here?
It's not big but diverse and culturally immensly rich. Texans are Texans, difference between italians, germans, french, spaniards etc is quite big culturally with a deep and individual history, traditions etc.Yeah, Europe ain't that big, it's mainly the commonly used mercator projection as well as euro-centrism that makes you think it is.

You think that's something, you should see the map of Hawaii over my girlfriend's back.![]()
