That sentiment reminds me strongly of my only visit to the US. We checked into a motel in the San Diego suburbs: nothing much around, and just a couple of vending machines in the lobby, so I asked the receptionist: "Is there a corner shop near here?" "Where's the nearest bus stop?" Her blank, baffled stare was a steep learning curve for me about suburban America: just so weird after European (or Mexican) cities.
