Louisiana? Wow, I bet understanding a Cajun's speech is tough. I live in Texas and it took me years to understand they were saying "Boudin" (Boo-Dan) and finally trying some. Mardi Gras is worth the trouble

@Strawberrry They speak so fast too. But they do know how to throw a party and cook!
@TexChik no kidding the food is some of the best i ever had
TexChik · F
@Strawberrry I am sure it's been a great adventure!

Welcome! The South is where I've spent the majority of my life and it seems to be many peoples' favorite part of the country. Louisiana arguably has some of the best food on Earth!
@eventtemple123 oh yeah, the bbq here is fantastique

@Strawberrry I live in Texas and we’re famous for bbq
@SJones48 yeah i heard there is quite the rivalry between states here

My daughter always hired au pairs from eastern Europe. Welcome. Where in the Czech republic are you from?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Strawberrry i bet it is beautiful. We spent a few weeks there. Went to a spa that was a rest area during the Soviet era.
@samueltyler2 well my hometown is somewhat famous for the spas and bathing culture... i mean its named after charles the great coming here to take baths in the healing springs
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Strawberrry i Am trying hard to remember the towns we stayed on.

I will send you some images, maybe you can recognize them.

That's so cool... I hope you have an amazing time, and have enough off time to look around a bit. Welcome the the USA!
@Ontheroad yeah its all still new and exiting so much to see
Pfuzylogic · M
I love New Orleans!
You are fortunate to be in that area.
I lived in Gulfport and Biloxi while I was active in the Navy during the early 80s.
You should come to GA. We are really friendly here :)
@BRUUH not sure what GA is
@Strawberrry Georgia.

Welcome!! I hope you have a great time while you are here! 🙂
Welcome to the US! Where are you in the South? It's not just "warm weather" here; the humidity is so high, you can take a drink just by going outside and breathing.

@LeopoldBloom when central air was invented in the 70’s the population of Phoenix quickly tripled .
And the Spanish (white people) settled st Augustine FLA in the 1600’s.
@AthrillatheHunt I was being facetious. But when AC became more widespread in southern Florida, that's when elderly New Yorkers started retiring there.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@LeopoldBloom south Florida is the unofficial 6th borough of NYC. Lol

Hopefully not the Deep South, it gets unbearably hot and humid in the summers and the people can be really weird lol.
SW-User

@daydeeo yeah... its a great adventure
ArtieKat · M
How many kids do you have to look after, @Strawberrry? And what ages?

ArtieKat · M

daydeeo · 61-69, M
Welcome to the USA. I hope you have great time here. How long will you be here?
@daydeeo one year, then going back and starting college
Where in the US are you? South West? South East?
@sstronaut all the way in the south... Louisiana
@Strawberrry Great food down there, supposedly 😄
@sstronaut yeah, it explains size of the people here
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
So where in the south did you end up ?
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
@Strawberrry So you have a job and living with a couple ?
@Midlifemale yeah its like an exchange program kinda... i live with the family and take care of the kids and some cleaning etc and get a room and food and the opportunity to experience a different country
Midlifemale · 61-69, M

Really how are you liking it?
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Welcome to the states! As a user already mentioned before, the southern states are reeeeally hot and humid. I'm in Tennessee, the tip top of the south. The people here really aren't that odd. Not as bad as what you'd find going further south.
@TheLordOfHell i like the people everyone here is really nice. and they have some really great food here... no wonder everyone is a bit more... round....
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@Strawberrry It's easy to get round in the states hahaha! Join us for bacon biscuits this morning
