    I'd love to visit Seattle :eek: If I ever get the chance to visit America, that's the second place I'm going (after San Francisco)

    Originally from Maryland and lived most of my life there:

    -Everyone loves eating crabs (not true)
    -Ray Lewis is a murderer (not true)
    -We hate the Steelers (so true - Go RAVENS!)
    -We are a northern state (not true - the Mason-Dixon divides us from PA)

    Now I live in South Carolina:

    -People are so kind (true, to your face...)
    -Sweet tea is the best (not true...but you get dirty looks if you order unsweetened)
    -All soda is Coke (true...it's so hard to find a restaurant with Pepsi)
    -Everyone is religious (true...everyone always asks what church you belong to)
    -People are uneducated (sorta true...one of the worst states for education)
    -It's sunny and warm all the time (sorta true...except for all of the freaking rain!)

    I guess I would say that
    we are looked upon as hippy, nature loving, weed smoking liberals. But alas that is mostly true for me so I cannot complain.

    New Brunswick doesn't seem to have any stereotypes of its own; It tends to get lumped in with Nova Scotia and PEI. "Everyone fishes, there's lighthouses everywhere, everyone lives on the coast or in rural backwater villages, we're all rednecks, we're all poor" etc. New Brunswick tends to be ignored by most of Canada.
