Culture shock is what it’s called when you go to a new place and are stunned by all the differences from where you used to be… It can be a new language and local customs, for example, that throw you for a loop.
For myself and others moving into the deep south for the first time, I was a little blown away by how friendly everyone is… The south gets a terrible rap from the rest of the country, although I tell you I feel entirely welcome down here! Some people might tell you that Tampa, Florida is not genuinely section of the South, however those people are wrong.
In Tampa you can find everything that makes the South great, including delicious food, appealing beaches, and amazing songs! Be prepared, though, if you visit Tampa in the Summer be prepared for some pretty intense heat, however down here the two of us get used to spending most of the Summer inside with a/c, because the wicked Florida heat can be a killer. The whole reason I moved to Tampa was because of the heat, because a place love this is where an HVAC tech can make a real killing. Tampa is a tale of more than one cities all rolled into a single, because while I was in the day I am a respected HVAC tech, however when night falls a whole other side of the neighborhood comes out. Tampa has an incredible nightlife, with a growing songs scene, and is a lot more than what you expect from a place with so several retirees. For an HVAC tech, Tampa is the land of opportunity.
