Alaska takes a lot of getting used to, whether you're talking about the frigid cold temperatures or the one-of-a-kind people that make up the state. Let's be honest, though: if you had to endure six months of darkness, you might feel a little unhappy, too.
Alaskans also often feel like they're part of their own country, as the state is located so far from the rest of the U.S. Even traveling from one destination to another within Alaska can take hours. The nontraditional way of life can come off as rude to some people.
