> south (Mississippi) and north (Washington state)
The whole concept of "North vs. South" is an anachronism from a time when most of middle-/western-America wasn't part of the picture. Washington state, while north of Mississippi, is part of the Pacific Northwest, not part of the "North." You'd be in for a rough time if you would expect (e.g.) Washington (state), North Dakota, Ohio, and Rhode Island to all have some sort of a normalized "Northern experience."
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoTrue. This was in the 80s/90s, maybe its better now, but Mississippi was like a third world country even compared to Tennessee, Kentucky, or some parts of Arkansa, while Washington definitely has better schools than next-door libertarian Idaho. On another note, no one is left handed in China, so I've had problems in Beijing with the inevitable right handed desk at work.
