The Lone Star State Reputation

So today I just happen to be walking down the street in the city and ran into a group of Aggies! They were on the marketing study abroad trip and it also just so happens that a few farmiliar faces from tri delta are here :) So I took my first whooping pictures in Europe with them! And then I realized I have got to post a Texas blog..

Being from Texas, I get all kinds of funny questions over here...

 

 

My favorite question first: Are you a redneck?

I've gotten that as a sincere question twice now. One of the guys who asked me that is now a good friend of mine, but that was the very first thing he said to me.

 

 

George Bush is from Texas... Did you vote for Bush? Did you vote for Obama?

Europeans always want to discuss American politics for some reason. An area I am not so well informed about, surprise surprise.

 

 

Do you have a cowboy hat?

 

 

Can you ice skate?

How many guns do you have?

Why does your state still have the death penalty?

You don't sound like you're from Texas.

Are you really from Texas? Are you really?... Really?

I can't answer these questions to people without laughing. I get a lot of good questions too, not just silly ones. Our state is famous even though it's not a typical trip to take on holiday :) I'm excited to be back in our great state soon!
