As a northerner, what are some things you learned after going to the south?

Due to the differences in economy and geographical environment, there are many differences between the north and the south. Sometimes when northerners go to the south, they are not used to it because of these subtle differences. Understanding these small details can help us integrate into local life more quickly and avoid making some little jokes.

1. Bugs

Although compared to southerners, northerners give people a tough feeling. But on the contrary, the bugs in the north are much smaller than those in the south. Perhaps due to the local climate, bugs in the south appear to be much larger, and some bugs can even fly, which is a bit incredible for people who are used to living in the north.

2. I am relatively good at "caring about"

In fact, the word "caring about" here should be regarded as a complimentary word. Take grocery shopping as an example. People in the north tend to buy things by the handful or by the kilogram. This situation rarely occurs in the south. In the south, people usually buy just enough for themselves, such as one or two cucumbers, a small handful of coriander, etc. In this way, it is not easy to waste, and it is relatively frugal.

3. Rice

For southerners, eating means just rice, but from the perspective of northerners, the scope of eating is much wider, such as barbecue, hot pot, etc. Just eating vegetables alone can be counted as a meal.

4. The wind is stronger

In the north, when the wind is the strongest, it can stagger people and lift things on the ground. In the South, this is nothing. I remember the recent typhoon that made landfall in the south. Videos of various people being blown away were circulated on the Internet. Regardless of whether they are prepared or unprepared, when the wind passes, people all become "boys chasing the wind."

Actually, there are many differences between the north and the south. Here are just a few specific points. However, it is undeniable that one thing is still the same, and that is enthusiasm. Although the ways of expression are different, they can all make people feel the deep feeling of hospitality.
