11 Surefire Ways To Always Spot A Tourist In North Dakota
Even though North Dakota isn’t the most visited state in the country, we do get quite a few tourists passing through. Sometimes you can easily tell they aren’t from here. It might be things they say or do, anything that any real North Dakotan probably wouldn’t fit. If you are trying to figure out if someone is or isn’t from this state, try asking yourself these 11 questions:
It's not winter year round, we aren't THAT far north!
Don't even try to get them to pronounce "fleischkuekle."
Yah, you betcha!
I suppose the most popular tourist attraction in North Dakota would have some tourists. There is a lot more to see than just the one show, though.
That's just rude in general, it doesn't matter if you know who you're passing or not. You just do it!
Not the whole state includes "where the buffalo roam," believe it or not.
Soda is for baking. It's obviously pop.
A surprising amount of outsiders think that this should be pronounced in a French way with a silent "t" at the end. If "Why Not Minot?" doesn't rhyme, then you're doing it wrong.
There's usually no traffic to beat, so they shouldn't have to worry.
Probably a tourist. We know that standing around a big fire with friends is an experience most of us would never turn down.
This is a luxury us North Dakotans are pretty used to but not everyone else has. I know whenever I travel I must look like a tourist because I'm surprised by how many stars are NOT visible in other places.
What other ways can you easily pick out a tourist from a crowd in North Dakota?
One of the main indicators is probably the words they use for certain things or the way they pronounce things. Most North Dakotans would probably look at you pretty funny if you used these words, for instance.
