I positively didn't know that it could be cool as often as it has been in January and February.
I positively didn't know that CENTRAL FLORIDA had as much abject poverty as it does -- I had always visited touristy areas and while I saw poverty, I figured it was part of the mix of any large city -- Orlando, Miami, Tampa, St. Pete, Jacksonville, Daytona, etc.
I positively didn't know about the "wet" season and the "dry" season -- both of which have proven true in my 1 year here.
Lastly, I positively didn't know that the wages for work done in Central Florida were 33% - 50% lower than the same work performed in another state (East Coast). This was a complete shock and completely my error to have not researched.
