I laughed at your food comparison. It's the same here though, ketchups on fries and mayonnaise on sandwich. :D
And that's the irony of it, people who live there wanna live elsewhere and the people who lives somewhere else wants to reside there.
But geez, what you mentioned towards the end of your post regarding the natural disasters on different states...yikes! I don't wanna be a part of a disaster movie in the making. Hahaha!
