The Slow South

I've yet to really articulate my impressions of "the South" (US) but for the most part it's pretty positive. The weather, the people, the outdoors, the nightlife(I hear there is a lot;) but I will say this: The mail here is SLOW. Slower than anything I've ever experienced. Today for example I got a birthday card from home. 3 months and 3 days late;). God Bless the South! The slower pace makes adjusting back to the fast paced US lifestyle much, much easier.

But 3 months!? The funny thing is my younger brother's birthday is tomorrow so I thought my parents just got confused and sent a card to Atlanta instead of Los Angeles.
