Living in the U.S.A .... 1 ( About the size ) informations

Size

It is difficult to really experience "feel" the size of the United States ,even when you know the actual number of miles from coast to coast . To get the full impact you should relize , for example ,that it takes forty-eight hours (two entire days and two long nights) to travel by trains from Chicago to Los Angeles , rolling along hour after hour across wheat fields, mountains and deserts ;Chicago is an overnight train trip from New York

Another way to think about it is to compare distances in the United states with other more familiar to you . for example , New York to Washington ,is about the same as London to paris or tokyo to kyoto ; New York to Los Angeles is farther than Lisbon to Cairo or Mosco to Montreal or New Delhi to Rome
