Things are Different in the South...

Ive been to different parts of the country and the south is unique! Even different from Houston...im still seeing things ive never seen before! Here's a few...

-Super luscious, green, and mossy plants and grass everywhere...they have to try to cut down the grass but in Az we spend tons of money just to make it grow and keep it green!



-It is super humid...after 10 seconds of being outside my feet feel sticky! And its killing my hair do's! I naturally have straight hair but in Louisiana I have wavy/mildly frizzy hair!

-Every city/town has a large water tower with their name on it! Just in case you ever forget where your at :)


-Since Texas pumps their own oil you might run into one of these randomly in the middle of a shopping  center parking lot...


-The houses are SO different! There's a lot of brink buildings and the styles are completely different from Az houses...theyre all different! (unlike the many cookie cutter neighborhoods in Az)
Also the driving through a neighborhood feels kind of like searching for an animal in the middle of the jungle! There's plants and huge trees everywhere! It makes the drive very pretty and shady cause the roads have tree over hangings! 
Oh! And they have perfectly green and flowering yards....lucky!

-The popularity is mostly African-Americans...im not used to that!
-Their buildings are old and some are falling apart!
-Their roads are old, small and some of the drive ways into shopping centers and restaurants are just curbs! So you have to drive careful and slow
-The accent...everyone says sir and ma'am with a southern accent...unless their black cause I have a hard time understanding them!
-The weather...tornado warnings and preparing for hurricanes are my fears and enemies
-The shopping....eh not so good! Lots of these small towns dont have much! Their malls arent like malls in Az
