Living in United States

Things to do

Thanks to its vast size, and a melting pot of diverse and eccentric cultural identities, there is basically no limit to what you can do in America. A wide range of natural landscapes means you can ride horses through the Texan desert on one day, drive to Colorado for some skiing on the next and then spend your weekend on the Californian coastline, soaking up the sunshine and surfing the Pacific Ocean.

Places to eat

One should always regard the U.S. as a country of different communities, rather than as one single national identity. Each state possesses its own set of customs, rituals and of course, food; and Americans love their food.

Shopping

The birthplace of modern capitalism means the birthplace of modern shopping. Shopping is a big deal in America and it's not simply the act of buying new stuff; it's an American pastime. Whether you're looking for high couture on New York's Madison Avenue, vintage gems in New Orleans' French Quarter, cheap and cheerful in Memphis thrift stores or supermalls in Texas, there really is something for everyone. As the home of Apple, Nike, Levi's, Google and Cadillac you'll never be too far away from the latest consumer goods to hit the market.

Getting around

Getting to the U.S. is pretty straightforward. International flights will fly directly to almost every major city on the East and West coasts and New York City alone boasts three international airports. Getting around the U.S can also be done with no real trouble thanks to most cities hosting an airport for domestic flights and an exceptional national rail service, which is both comfortable and efficient.
