First impressions of Minnesota

I've been in MN for about 48 hours, and here are my first impressions:

1. The people are so incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. Puts us East coast-ers to shame. Not to mention the Swedes!

2. It's windy, and the wind is cooooold.

3. There is nothing to do in downtown Minneapolis. But there is a Target.

4. SUPER TARGET!!!! Even better than regular Target.

5. Apparently parking garages are called parking ramps. Who knew?

6. The Twin Cities are much more ethnically diverse than I expected.

7. People talk like the mom on Bobby's World.

8. Tons of buildings, streets, etc have Scandinavian names.

9. The U of Minnesota mascot is the gopher. Seems kind of lame, I mean, are gophers aggressive? Maybe they are like the gophers in Caddyshack.

10. All the buildings at the University, and all the buildings in downtown, are connected so you can walk anywhere you need to without going outside.
