As someone who's only been to the South on holiday, I can still thank it for teaching me the following:
That I'd never really experienced humidity before.
That grits are possibly the worst tasting thing ever.
That when someone says something is twenty minutes away, they mean twenty minutes in a car, not on foot!
That, when ordering a pie, I need to specify that i only want a slice or else I'll end up getting the whole thing.
That there are parts of the world where my accent suddenly makes me very attractive to women who look like Jessica Simpson.
That the police in Tallahassee get confused when they see white people who aren't in cars and will give you a free ride to wherever you're going once they realise you're English.
That the grass verges dividing the freeways in Miami turn into swamps after it's been raining.
That I'm addicted to the smell of shopping malls.
