Alaskans are used to fielding questions about our state from tourists and curious outsiders. We get it –- people are fascinated with our way of life. But often, these questions are super cliché or just straight-up crazy. We usually blurt out our best sarcastic response while fighting the urge to roll our eyes or burst out laughing. It’s amazing what people will believe about Alaska –- here are some of the ridiculous questions that Alaskans get asked.
1.
“Are there roads in Alaska?”
2.
“What about the internet connection?”
3.
“Is it true that there’s barely electricity?”
