There’s a constant about the USA, and it’s change. The country’s spirit is seen in its impressive outlook and
nature, which range from all the corners of the American land to the astounding
skyscrapers in New York and Chicago, and even beyond those limits, to the first
landing human on the moon. But, there are certain things (some of which are
fun) you should know before visiting the US because they can help you explore
and survive in the country during your stay.
1. 1. Everything
is open 24/7
If you get the munchies at around 2 am and you are in the United States,
that’s not a problem. The American commerce ensures that you probably find at
least a piece of cookie during the 24 hours of the day. You may drop by Slurpee
at 3am and you will find it open or drive to Double Quarter Pounder at 2 am for
a Supersize it without a problem.
2. 2.Country’s
national parks are jaw-dropping
There are many national parks and they cover a total of 84 million
across the country, which means you will see national parks even distributed in
the four cardinal points.
3. 3. In America,
tips are given out generously
It’s not obligatory to give a tip out in a restaurant but a waiter’s salary
is low and tips compensate that problem.
4. 4. New York is
not the capital of the United States
The Capital of the United States is Washington D.C. but New York stands
out because it represents one of the hubs of American commerce (probably the
most important economically influential city in the country)
5. 5. If you go
to an American department store, you will probably be asked something like…
Do you want to open a credit card
account? In fact, they are not asking
if you are willing to open it or not. That’s an American custom to offer
purchasers a credit card to make them spend more money. Just turn the offer
down and bear with the shop assistants because you will likely be asked the
same question several times. Don’t feel uncomfortable for this; American citizens
have to go through this too.
