It's just as cringe worthy to see a British or Japanese writer who's never left the country talk about travel in America. 

That was parodied rather well some time ago by an author whose name I can't remember; the book was a sequel to The Thin Woman, a fun murder mystery.  The British husband and wife flew into New York and rented a car to drive to Chicago for a convention; their assumption that they would get there in an hour or so was proved disastrously wrong.
