Visiting the south was different. Not used to people waving at me for no reason.

I was in Colorado Springs last year and found out it’s not cool to piss in the backyard at night.

Not only did I find out that they have a camera recording me but there’s goddamn bears out there.

I should have never done that.

Not another state. Only other countries - primarily Asian countries. I've been to various parts of Europe and South America and felt fine. The Far East does not cater to Westerners.

I grew up in Florida on boiled peanuts, smoked mullet, rattlesnake festivals, and wearing cowboy boots. My father HATED Florida and moved us back to Ohio when I was in high school. I was too young to feel out of my element. If I had to say anything, it would be NY, NY. Too fast-paced. I love going there but would not want to live there.

I certainly wouldn't call it culture shock, but New Mexico has been really cool to get to know. My girlfriend is from there and I've been spending most weekends there. It's got its own unique culture and language and food and I'm digging it.

Well, he’s dead, so no hate from him. Still have some aunts and uncles on the east coast.
