Re: Culture shock in a single country

[kaijinscendre]

I grew up in SC and have lived in OK (which is not quite Midwest, not quite the South) for five years. I visited CT a lot growing up (family there). Just going to touch on a couple things.

Funerals: I've experienced several in all three regions. OK and SC funerals have police escorts from the funeral home to the cemetery. The ones in CT were a free for all to the cemetery so people will arrive at all kinds of different times. Also, the wake's food in the South is provided by neighbors/friends bringing food to eat. The ones I went to in CT were catered, which was really odd to me.

Soda: In OK they call it pop. In SC everything was "Coke". You'd ask for a coke and then specify what kind (sprite, root beer, etc). CT just called them soda.

Sir/Madam: Yeah. In SC and OK, I refer to basically any man or woman in an authority position as Sir or Ma'am. Even if they are younger than me!
