Minnesota is my newishly adopted home.
I've been here for a little less than a year now.
Everybody's real chatty. And I thought I came from a pretty chatty place.
Like I'll have a five minute convo with the cashier at the grocery store. This is a lot for me lol.
If you're polite you can easily get the skinny on the best restaurants and/or where to get coats, etc.
Edit: adding more things as I think of them...
This blew my mind driving out to Rochester one day: https://religionsmn.carleton.edu/exhibits/show/wattmunisotaram/introduction
You're just driving out in the sticks and then BAM! BUDDHIST TEMPLE!
Also we have Mayo, which I don't think enough people know about.
There's also Wat Promwachirayan up in the cities, which has a lovely Sunday market
Welcome! We appreciate having you here.
Thank you, I appreciate being here. I also eagerly anticipate welcoming other new Minnesotans.
