longrider805 Posted March 6, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 6, 2011 The reason you heard that funny sounding Texas stuff is because Florida is a suburb of Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been saying the same thing about LA, not the whole of California. Texas is not that greedy. Rick A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted March 7, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 7, 2011 I got a little misplaced while in the sunshine state last summer. Stopped to ask directions it was starting to look a little rough. Answer I got was "white boy you better turn around. If you go in there you ain't coming back!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted March 7, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 7, 2011 I was surprised in Hialeah in January when I had a tough time in the mall and in the Ramada Hotel we stayed in that the staff didnt seem to speak any English at all. It was a very nice looking mall and the people were dressed very nicely, but there was almost no english spoken anywhere. One of the ladies in our group needed a hair styling and there wasnt a single woman in the hair salon that could speak english. I knew that spanish was widely spoken in Florida, but I was surprised by the extent of it. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted March 8, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 8, 2011 Come to Vancouver (aka Hongcouver) ... you'll feel like you're in another country (like China maybe). Every day I ride public trasit to and from work ... don't hear much english being spoken amongs the other passengers but there's sure a lot of other languages. Fortunately tho, there's only a very small segment where there's no english spoken or understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd coz almost every truck driver around here has a beard and a towel wrapped around his head... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted March 8, 2011 Share #12 Posted March 8, 2011 I don't know about way up nort, but I thought that in the USA you had to be able to read, speak, and understand English to get a CDL. (Except in IL where it just takes an extra cnote attached to the application:whistling:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
