Arkansas
Arkansas is one of those places that I figured I would never see, and really had no desire to ever see. One year ago, when I thought of Arkansas, I thought of hillbillies, fried food, tornados, wal-mart and large people. However, now that I have been there, I can definitively say that all of my ignorant stereotypes about Arkansas were absolutely correct. However, while there may be an abundance of tornados and Wal-Mart super centers, there are actually a number of good things about the place as well. But before I get to that, I should probably explain what prompted me to go on vacation to Arkansas. My friend Sarah (who I was on secondment with in Perth) is from Texas, and is getting married outside of Austin this weekend. My other fellow Perth secondees are all flying in for the wedding as well. Since it is quite a long trip for the people coming from Europe, we decided to extend the "reunion" and go somewhere before Austin. Now, Fayetteville Arkansas was not at the top
