10 things we do in Jersey that other states just won’t understand

The diversity in the culture throughout the United States never ceases to amaze me. Depending on which part of the country you're in, sometimes it's unrecognizable from your neck of the woods.

If you're down south, the way of life and the pace of everyday activities are incredibly slow. Meanwhile, in the northeast, you'll be eaten alive if it takes you too long to order at a restaurant.

But the diversity goes beyond culture and lifestyle. My brother lives in California, and the landscape out there is so much different than what we're used to in New Jersey. Desert, mountains, plenty of beauty we never see on the east coast. Even though we're 50 states, it can feel like you're in a different country entirely when you're in a new state.

And believe it or not, when people come to visit New Jersey, they can feel like a fish out of water. We have our own way of life and culture that makes us seem like aliens to the outside New Jersey world.

Some of these things in this list are going to be so common to you that you won't even realize they're weird.

Others, after you take a moment to reflect, you'll realize we look like crazy people.

So without further ado.... here we go.
