Default OT how much USA peeps are different
In article ,
says...

A few well-travelled Americans have commented to me that a lot of their
compatriots are very insular in their outlook and really do not
understand others' way of life, choices, or reasons for doing things
different to the USA. Comparatively few Americans have passports. But
when you think of the size of their country, they can do everything
there except enjoy the culture of others. And if they're not
interested in that, why go outside America?

Is it true that for a lot of (North) Americans the usual annual leave
(vacation time) is 2 weeks?

Travelling to & from an overseas destination might take up a big slice
of that.
