Indiana is a pretty cool place

I'm back from Indiana, and I can say that I enjoyed my trip, even though it was for work.  Don't think I could ever live there though.  My American co-workers didn't appreciate the fact that I called NASCAR "donut racing" and the lack of hockey game coverage bummed me out, lol.

Re: Indiana is a pretty cool place

  • Hehe...in my house we call it "Redneck Roundtrack".  I agree, hockey is MUCH better.

  • It's nice when you can enjoy a new city for a short time and at the same time appreciate why you don't live there.  hah

    You'd loathe TX hockey coverage then, I only see it on TV if there's playoffs or the Stanely Cup going on.   I barely even know what hockey is!   Geeked

  • Indiana is to Chicagoans how New Jersey is to New Yorkers. 

    That is all. 

  • I found it quite interesting that even though we do live somewhat close, that there were huge differences in culture (this isn't the word I want to use, but I can't think of a more suitable one).  I tried to order a Caesar at the bar, and the waitress looked at me confused, then I said a Bloody Mary, and then she finally knew what I wanted.  No one knew what a Paralyser was, do you ladies know? (Vodka, Kaluha, cola and a splash of milk)

    I was in a training school with all men, and nobody knew anything about hockey, and they were surprised that I knew what the Superbowl was... (Yes, we do have TV in Canada... lol)

    Caesar =  a romaine salad with creamy anchovy dressing.   I have never heard a drink called this!

    Colorado Bulldog or White Russian   = Vodka, Kaluha, cola and milk.. depending on the amount of milk/coke proportion   

    I haven't heard of the Paralyser before, it sounds more like a shot to me!

    This is my understanding as well.

  • We have Caesar the salad too, but we call a Bloody Mary, a Caesar up here.  It tasted the same.

    I'll try to remember the Colorado Bulldog & White Russian for my next visit States-side.  But apparently rum & coke is a universal drink!
