Thread: Alaska Trip 2012

Thanks guys, that trip is going to take some beating i think. Pearl habour is awesome, Prince William Sound is great, the winter train north of Anchorage was really cool as well.

One of the biggest differences we noticed over in Alaska is how much hunting is in their society, more so when you get out of Anchorage. We would go into a shop/bar/tourist activity and they would ask where we are from and what we were up to in Alaska. When we mentioned hunting they just about all lit up! Almost everyone wished us luck, or wanted to see how we got on, or shared a story about their own experience. It was really refreshing to not think to be careful not to offend anyone by talking about shooting bambi! I got almost the complete opposite response back here at work in NZ.
