| Over the last 8 months or so that I have lived in Texas I have learned so much about the different cultures! And here is just a few of them!! |
* Weather is unpredictable. "Wait 5 minutes and it will change"
* Southern Accents!!!!
*Firework or Snow Cone stands on every corner!
*Gas stations actually serve decent food, some even have great BBQ (go figure)
* Lightening storms are NO JOKE out in Texas
* Parking lots are made for trucks ( THANK GOD)
* Every high school as a FFA program ( at least in Wise County they do)
* It doesn't cost an arm and leg to register your vehicle.
* TORNADOES!!!!!
* It doesn't drop below 70's on summer nights in Texas
*Don't have to wear (4-H/FFA) uniforms to show at the county fairs
* Everything is meat and potatoes
* NO TRI- TIP or LINGUICIA
* The town revolves around the town square and a court house is always in the center of the square.
* The gas prices are AMAZING!!! ($3.23 for gas and $3.51 for diesel)
* BIG hair and BIG jewelry is the norm
* FISH FRY'S
* Cowboys are REAL!!! Not just weekend warriors like in the bay area lol!
* Someone either works in the oil fields or drives truck or knows someone who does.
* Sports are a religion no matter what level ( t-ball to pros)
* NO 4-H UNIFORMS
* Live music is a way of life out here.
* The boys 2 step not line dance ( thank god)
* Brisket is a BBQ staple in Texas
* No such thing as TOO MUCH bling
* Texas has their own pledge and anthem.
* No food festivals the revolve around a growing season. ( Sadly no Garlic Festival here)
* Catfish is considered a good eating fish (YUCK)
I know there is more to come but this is all I can think of as of now.
Love it!! We need to get you out to experience the food festivals (also flower, heritage and famous people festivals) and the Barnett Shale area is ridiculous with the amount of oil/gas trucks.
