I remember when I was living in Los Angeles and I was asked to host a couple of girls who were visiting from New Zealand. I took a week off work to take them around LA and show them the sights.
The first day we went to Disneyland. Of course, we ended up stuck in a huge traffic jam on the 5 freeway. Those girls were so excited!! They had never seen a traffic jam before! The first time we stopped (for about 15 minutes), one of them said "What's going on??" I replied that this was just a typical LA morning traffic jam. "Really?? An LA traffic jam?? Oh, how fantastic!!"
Of course, that was about 30 years ago, and they were from Christchurch. I'm sure they must have their own traffic jams by now.
