I have actually encountered this phenomenon, and it involves neither Americans nor Europeans. I live in Korea, and I'm from Canada. I've had to explain that no, I have never been to Vancouver because it's something like 8000 km from where I lived on the opposite coast in Canada. At least a couple weeks of driving. In Korea, the furthest you can be from anywhere is about a four-hour drive.
