Yes! All truths.

I am a fellow escapee from the deep rural Ohio and I was completely unprepared to live in a more urban setting. I would guess it took a good 10+ years to acclimate myself. I was simply not taught even the most rudimentary things like how to navigate highways and get around. Where I grew up, everyone literally knew everyone else, where they lived, what they did. This made street names, addresses, and directions unnecessary. As a result, learning how to take directions in a larger setting was a new skill. Yikes!
