You have the preconceived notion that everyone picks their toes, that everyone's a hick. . . Other people pictured Durham as an oasis of civilization deep in the stereotypically backward South. Although she hasn't found all of her stereotypes to be true, history student teacher Kerri Lindland has seen the validity of some of them. I just assumed he knew who I was. Classic southern hospitality, however, made adapting to the South much easier for northerner Ryan Day.
People are a lot nicer here.
Along with friendliness, another stereotype that people have found true is the slower pace of life here. The first thing I noticed immediately was the slower pace. You don't know how good it is. You still get stressed, but you get stressed a little slower. The slower pace can make driving irritating for northerners.
