Where are you from? I'm asking because depending where you're from, the South may or may not be the place for you.
Not ALL of the South, mind you, but if you have a thick accent, I'd stay away from the following states:
Mississippi
Alabama
All of Louisiana except New Orleans
Southeast North Carolina (except Wilmington)
The Florida Panhandle.
Perhaps Arkansas.
The reason I say to stay away is, of course, you will be ridiculed by the men and stalked by butter-faced women with a preternatural instinct to mate with fresh DNA.
