Shauna: 这次旅行我主要想体验历史和海滩,查尔斯顿完美地满足了我的需求。这个城市不仅风景如画,拥有彩虹街和古老的南方风情,还充满了历史,拥有古老的教堂和鹅卵石街道,漫步其中仿佛置身于博物馆。当然,这里的美食,特别是海鲜,也是不容错过的。此外,我还体验了当地独特的文化,比如参观了电影《恋恋笔记本》的取景地,了解了当地人如何用“haint blue”来防止鬼魂入侵,品尝了南方美食炸青蛙腿,并了解了菠萝和甜茶在南方文化中的象征意义。虽然夏天去查尔斯顿很热,苍蝇也很多,但总的来说,这次旅行还是非常值得的,让我对南方的历史、文化和自然风光有了更深入的了解。

In this casual Chats with Shana episode, I’m taking you along on our sweaty summer trip to Charleston, South Carolina. 🌴

You’ll hear about:

-

Milo’s first vacation (spoiler: he’s a sand-digging pro)

-

Dining outside in 95° heat… while swatting a swarm of flies

-

Why Folly Beach is a top spot for shark attacks—and why we still went

-

A surprise encounter with a horseshoe crab under the pier

-

The iconic rowboat scene from The Notebook—yep, we went!

-

Tasting frog legs and learning about frog gigging

-

The Southern tradition of painting porch ceilings "haint blue" to keep away spirits

-

Plus, fun facts about pineapples, sweet tea, ghost tours, and more!

You'll also learn natural expressions like “sweating bullets,” “the cherry on top,” “food for thought,” and “to keep something at bay,” all explained as we go.

So grab an iced tea (sweet, of course) and join me for a fun and language-packed adventure through the Palmetto State. 🐊🦈🍍
