Well, Scott and I have been in Boston now for about a month. And let's just say things are a little different on the east coast. Here's a few the new things we've learned so far...
1. Driving is a whole new game out here. Not only do people not use their turn signal EVER, but they also go a lot slower. It's probably because they don't understand the signs any more than we do. Anyone know what "thickly settled" means? How about "squeeze left"? Yeah, we have no clue either.
2. There is no "r" in the alphabet here. It's changed to an "ah". Bostonians don't drink beer, they drink bee-ah. Students go to Hah-vahd. And my favorite, the city of Worcester is actually pronounced Wuh-stah. We're still trying to get it ourselves.
3. There is no grid system here since Boston is one of the oldest cities in America. That means that a street can actually intersect itself, and you may need to make 3 right turns in order to turn left.
Things may be different (VERY different), but we're having a great time trying to figure it all out. We may make a few detours along the way, but we're getting there!
