Things Bardic Is Learning About The East Coast

 A list:

- *everything* is green here and there’s so much water and so many trees

- everything is named after a person or a place in England. There’s no saints, no “beautiful views” or “snowy mountains,” no religious names at all.

- turnpikes are a real thing and not just something that shows up in a history textbook 

- ITS SUMMER WHY IS IT WET WHY IS IT RAINING I DONT LIKE IT

- low flow toilets are less of a thing here because, according to my father, “water is basically free”

- SERIOUSLY WHY SO GREEN WHY SO MUCH WATER

- wet season is all year? All roofs are peaked? Everything’s so old????? What is UP with this place????!!!

- no earthquakes what the HECK

- why is there farmland right outside town???

- I apparently know nothing about water. This has been told to me multiple times.
