Okay, S. Florida really is a bit different from L.A. - More people speak Spanish in S. Florida than LA.
- It seems more people in S. Florida speak Spanish than English.
- Practically everyone who speaks English is from New York, or New Jersey, "Where we did things better."
- There are Condo-Commandos on the roads.
- You can go 20 mile in 3.5 hours.
- There are hurricanes.
- It rains like hell for 15 minutes each and every day in the summer.
- Fleeing felons across the country like to go there before they get busted.
PS: I believe the state slogan is, "When I get old and retire, I'm moving North and driving really, really slow....

He is right. Spanish will come in handy. Especially if you go to Miami at all. Miami Beach is not that bad though and is actually a really really cool place to go out and have fun.
The drivers suck down here. Winters are really bad because everyones grandma and grandpa is down here and they should not be using a remote control for the TV let alone driving a car.
The heavy spanish used to be reserved for Miami proper but the hispanic community has creeped up as far north as West Palm Beach and areas north of there are already noticing a huge influx of spanish speaking people as well. I was in a store in West Palm Beach this past weekend and noticed I was the ONLY one speaking english in the entire digital camera / camcorder section and there were about 50 people in my immediate vicinity.
I really need to learn to speak spanish.
