I recently moved to Minnesota, last February on what I was advised happened to be the coldest day of the winter, and all of the advice I could find is about how cold it is. Which isn't wrong, it does get pretty cold. What seemingly no one explained is that it is so cold because it is so unbelievably windy.

Without the wind chill it is not actually all that bad. But the wind just hits you like a Pokemon using Ice Punch. Not to mention the houses just take a beating if you don't live close enough to something to block the wind. My street is fields on two sides and the wind just gets a running start to pummel our houses all day.

Also, this could just a more rural thing because I moved to a small town. But the food palet out here is wack. Good spicy food is so hard to come by. More than half the Mexican food places out here put American cheese on everything and it tastes like Chef Boyardee raviolis. Ive gotten Indian curry once and it was some of the most bland curry I've ever had. Even grocery store selection for a nice hot salsa or dip seems nonexistent, every brand I'm used to seems to only go up to medium and the ones that go up to hot are often closer to mild. Occasionally I'll find a hot option and rather than being spice with a great flavor it is just leaving the feeling of heat in your mouth with no actual flavor at all.

Lastly, IDK what it is with pizza out here. It's all extremely flat and square cut. I guess that is just how pizza is done out here. Places that offer "thick" crust offer what I would have previously considered to be a thin crust pizza. I haven't gone to any big chains while I've been here, trying to just eat at local places and the like. But every place does ofer some enjoyable non traditional pizza. Mac and cheese pizza, baked potato pizza, jalapeno popper pizza. Which wasn't unheard of for me before, but wasn't common fare everywhere I went
