The girls in Alaska<\/a> know how to play with the boys and still look good doing it. There just aren\u2019t the same gender stereotypes here. So get over it.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve had reindeer sausage, no other wiener will compare.<\/p>\n Anchorage<\/a> is basically the espresso capital of the world but they don\u2019t need fancy d\u00e9cor and overpriced scones and free wi-fi to lure in customers, it\u2019s that good.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a reason why they\u2019re called the Kings.<\/p>\n Luckily, it doesn\u2019t happen very often.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a circle, not rocket science. And yet\u2026<\/p>\n Another huge perk to Alaskan life is a serious improvement in traffic. But you never can tell when you\u2019ll get randomly held up.<\/p>\n Along with a PDF, Alaskans get the benefit of not having to pay a state income tax. Some of the cities don\u2019t charge a city sales tax, either. And the cities that do, like Juneau<\/a>, only charge five percent.<\/p>\n var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1425403311834-0’); });<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For anyone who slept their way through school\u2014yes, Alaskans are Americans. And Alaska is so big, that if it was attached to the Lower 48, it would swallow almost all of it. Alaska feels like it\u2019s own unique country, but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n They are two different words with separate meanings. When referring to Alaska, the latter is the one you\u2019re looking for yet rarely use.<\/p>\n Especially when it\u2019s to prove to outsiders that they don\u2019t live in igloos. Except when there is the occasional igloo. Then it\u2019s Instagram gold.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no time to talk! Summer is here and we have to\u2026 never mind, winter is back.<\/p>\n And for the record, they\u2019re still not funny.<\/p>\n Spoiler alert: The eagles always win. But you never tire of looking at freedom with wings.<\/p>\n You think the bush is dangerous? Try not getting trampled by 800 pocket-rich Alaskans who took a four-hour long ferry ride to get the last box of Captain Crunch. Now that\u2019s a survival skill worthy of reality television.<\/p>\n Actually, Hawaiians understand this one, too. It\u2019s kind of like how everyone else shopped online in the \u201990s.<\/p>\n var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1425403275176-0’); });<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And all that snow you battled through last winter, New England? Alaskans call that Tuesday.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it, Alaska has the potential to get all kinds of boring. That\u2019s why whether they\u2019re climbing glaciers or running with reindeer, Alaskans know how to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n Unalakleet, Matanuska, Inupiag, Qiviut, Ninilchik, Ptarmigan, Kuskokwim. The list could go on, but Alaskans really don\u2019t feel like having to tell you how to pronounce even more.<\/p>\n For many Alaskans, just getting to Seattle includes a long ferry ride and a $300 plane ticket. Add at least one more flight if you plan on going anywhere else.<\/p>\n One of Alaska\u2019s biggest bragging rights is the picturesque scenery that can be found virtually anywhere you go. Flat lands and lifeless skies are for the Lower 48.<\/p>\n Alaskans are the MacGyvers of life.<\/p>\n There are no cockroaches, termites, or killer bee problems and relatively no snakes in Alaska. And it\u2019s not because of the cold, it\u2019s because Alaskans have more pressing issues to deal with. Like getting eaten alive by bears.<\/p>\n And only Alaskans truly know that \u201cweird\u201d is never an insult, it\u2019s a compliment. It\u2019s what makes them different from the rest of the Lower 48. 1.
