11 Things I Learned About Michigan

• Faygo is a real thing, and not just Juggalos drink it.

Dee licious

• Most houses in neighborhoods have no fences around them. It's like some giant urban planner took a handful of dwellings and tossed them across a field. Also, many of these houses have plastic mailboxes with front and back hatches. Because who has time to walk all the way around to the front of a mailbox? This is America. I want my mail now.
• These neighborhoods do not have sidewalks
• The Michigan definition of "condo" is different than the rest of the civilized world. Apparently, a one story house is a condo.

• The lakes up north have real beaches. I had to see to believe

• And on these lakes, there are some wicked awesome sunsets

• Also there are boats and fishermen and stuff. 

• In Grand Haven, there's a surf shop called the Wet Mitten (I know, right?), so apparently people surf on these lakes. I did not witness this.
• Around the lakes, there's 99% humidity, so any time you're outside it's like walking through water. Anything made of paper becomes crinkly within a few days of its existence. This humidity does, however, make Michigan green and full of monstrous trees. It's jungly like Mexico, for real.
• You'd be hard-pressed to find anything other than an American car on the highways near Detroit. And car is pronounced "crrr," like you just take the A out of it.

• And finally, some people prefer room temperature water
