Ten ways Seattle is different from Boston

  1.  Shouting support for the Red Sox and expecting the other patrons in the bar to back you up would probably a lost cause.

  2. Oysters and lobsters are probably not as as good there. While it's true I don't eat seafood, and Seattle does have pretty impressive seafood, these two species are not the specialty of the town, and it'd be quite foolish to expect good fresh lobsters there.

  3. Boston clam chowder is probably not a Seattle specialty, and I'm bound to be disappointed if some place happened to be serving them anyhow.

  4. While the Seattle public transport system is...alright...it's probably too much of an expectation on it to refer to it as "the Teee", and call the "orca card" as Charlie card, and talk of the various lines (almost none of which are on-line yet) in terms of color.

  5. It's probably a misleading idea to call the City an education city/ a city of colleges.

  6. They most certainly don't have the old historic brick buildings that are hundreds of years old, bars that are 250+ years and going.

  7. I haven't heard anybody complain too much about how aggressive Seattle drivers are, and call them assholes. The word "wash-hole" or "sea-hole" seem to remain unused, unlike the popular utterance 'massHole' in Mass.

  8. They don't see much snow, do they? Lameee.

  9. New York City is wayyyy further away than 4 hours in a cheap Chinese bus that'll most definitely get you there on time, as long as you actually get to the destination.

  10. It's not spelled b-o-s-t-o-n.
