When you stop and think about it, there are many places not that far away but are really different.

Language

Slang (similar but different from just language)

Food

Service standards

Laws and rules

Spelling (also sorta different)

Hobbies

Landscape

History

The stories told

Perspective and opinions

We are not that far off but still we struggle to find common ground. We can try harder. We can do better. It believe it will be better when we do.
