Travel to USA

Travel in the U.S.

In America wanted to go long. Beginning, perhaps, with “Good-bye America, on which was never.” In general, with the Soviet Union. Then there was the collapse of the Union, stories Zadornov. Country in which everything is there. Friends who visited there, too, were satisfied. It was therefore decided, as soon as the opportunity to go there without visas, so suddenly and ragged on vacation. This year’s turned out this possibility.

The state chose not last long. I wanted to warm sea, and this (according to our opinion), only Florida or California. But in California to fly farther. So Florida was chosen. Miami. Miami was selected because of the fact that constantly talked with the TV series “CSI: Miami” and the old song Vila Smith Welcome to Miami.

Tickets booked themselves on the internet. Order on the U.S. site was cheaper than in Europe. Ibid booked hotel for the first week and a car at all times. I had to call customer service, because I forgot to order a chair for my daughter. It was a pleasure to listen to Sir you, sir, behold. Very politely. In general, before leaving impressions of this country have been very positive.

They began to deteriorate a bit when we got on the plane of American Airlines. Entertainment system with the three of us + a few other passengers almost did not work. Ie toys worked, and no film. Do not have helped numerous restarts. It is also very amused by the stewards. Prior to that, on the European flights we met those. goluboobraznyh, thin, licked, and flexible. And on this flight were small, large, stocky. Similar to the rockers-nedorostkov.

Flying to Miami from Brussels comes through New York. The second flight was worse than the first (even if we consider the problem with entertainment system). At JFK airport just jams on airplanes. The flight was delayed for 2 hours. We sat, marinated in a plane. Flight attendants on this flight were of retirement age. By the way, in America many people with the services sector are old. It is depresses. You feel guilty when my grandmother waitress takes care of for you or Grandpa at the cashier puts you in shopping for a package.

We flew into Miami the night, found a company that rented us a car. Among the size that we ordered (full size) were only karbriolety Chrysler Serbring. The very first, who wanted to take (gray), was battered! Not able to open the door! The second lamp was not working. Only the third was like nothing. And that’s a new machine: on the counter of 12,000 miles. Slovenliness, in general.

We got to the hotel without any problems. Very quickly got used to the gun. As soon learned to control his left leg and drove off. If you try to slow down the left and right just click on the gas – is stopped in his tracks. Everything to do with the right foot – or gazovat or brake. The hotel was quite decent. On the ocean, between residential skyscrapers. The ocean is great. Clear, warm. With fish that hang out at his feet and looking for something in the sandy bottom, on which you tread. Although there .. Chronologically tell boring. It should be clustered by topic

People
Somehow, we expect to see lots of very fat people. But this is not true. There were, of course, and very thick, but not so much. A lot of busty women. My wife nagged me constantly, I’m somewhere not looking there. Did not help even the fact that I gave her glasses.

Many people in Florida speak only Spanish. Even employees of stores. At one of the beaches chatted with the recently dismissed Negro lawyer. Says: wife happy, that was fired. Although the house sit a couple of weeks. Works on 50-60 hours a week. Says: pension? I can not afford. I’ll work until the brain works.
It also said that they did not exactly democracy. He said that nobody expected to see President Bush a second time. Therefore, he questioned whether Obama will choose.

Telick
Many watched American television. Channel no more than in Europe. Another advertising. 30% of advertising – dives. 30% – auto leasing. Super car for 300 bucks a month. 10% – Advertising tablets. 10% of advertising “to sue the doctor or the employer.”

First persya on tv. One evening while walking: Die Hard, Futurama, The Return of The Mummy, The Last Samurai, Pulp Fiction. Just torn. But then the disappointment! He began to look Fiction. Damn! Deleted scenes. Disgusting! A lot of news about crime. Every day in Miami, rob, kill … Those guys are easy. Areas on the outskirts of – well, natural ghetto. It’s dirty, obodrano.Mashiny wrinkled, rusty. Niggers with a pestle.

Maghazi
Big are they (mall’y). And indeed there are very cheap and brands. Shop for them it fun for the whole family. With entertainment for kids, snack bars, and offices on all topics. They wanted to buy a iphone, but broken off. Need a crowd of documents proving that you live in America. It is understandable. Price – $ 200. Less cost. Must I pay 2-year contract.

One was in walmart (big network with democratic prices). Have been amazed! We steal from the basket daughter’s hat from the sun. In general, we see many parallels with the Soviet Union. People do not Those guys are very friendly. Especially in the boutiques. ToysRUs Maghazi toys (also have in Europe) – disappointing. Nothing special. The only thing that is something that is not in Europe – coloring with markers, which depict the color only spetsbumage, and the usual colorless.

Museums
This is a mockery. We went to the Miami Museum of Science. This is something very small with a tiny planetarium .. But! There was an exhibition of skeletons of dinosaurs from China. Impressed. My daughter such things begin to like it. In general, mature virgins.

Dali Museum (U.S.) St. Petersburg is no better. Tiny.

Cape Canaveral. We visited the Kennedy Center Spacey. Atstoy. Naturally. The center is at 60% is made up of boutiques and souvenir grub. Disgusting. Ticket prices too strange. Daily ticket $ 55, but in year 75! We looked at a decommissioned shuttle, rockets and dimensional films on the international space station. The film impressed.

Crisis
On the beach potryndel one Russian-speaking from France. He was going to buy a flat here in the flats almost on the shore. He says they cost 500k and now 200k. In the euro – 125k. But it is not clear about the service charges. Some of apartment is 1200 a month! But he seemed to find the one where 250. Size 170 square meters. meters. To deliver possible for 1000-1200. On TV a lot of news on this topic. In general, then an obvious crisis.

Nature
That’s how the fig museums – such a good nature. Well, the way to Key West passed through a national park in southern Florida. The boat with a propeller rode through the swamp and saw crocodiles. Very cool eksperiens. What particularly pleased – there was no mosquitoes and swamp stank. Water is clean. Crocodiles – beggars. But terrible.
On the catamaran (large) went on a coral reef and snorkelling. Wife properlas not a child. My daughter only once cast a spell over the fish. I do not like her mask.

The water is very clean. Fishes to fig. There was even a barracuda, but she saw a catamaran.

In general, in America we must take the car and ride over the vast expanses, to admire nature. Everywhere you find where to spend the night and eat.

Along the road signs – refueling, food, motels. You can even go across America and no steam with reservations. Cool room price was given. They say – $ 105. We – a pancake, a little expensive, no doubt you look at a motel in the 100 meters. They are: w Gat e dil, 75 bucks!

Arms
We went to the shooting range. Shots were fired from Gluck 17 (50 rounds), Magnum 357 (50 rounds), and M16 (30). Cool. But, first, the Magnum is not so, and return. Nothing special. And the M16 jammed 5!! Once per 30 shots. We have two (shot by one) all it was worth 120 dollars.

What stuck – in America no special care. Want to dive into the jaws of a crocodile? Sui! There’s no nets or grids. Or a dash nobody looks. Give 2 pistols, automatic, boxes of ammunition – go shoot. Nobody looks that I can in the hallway charged back and shoot everyone.

Amusement parks
Familiarize yourself with the prices in the parks. WTF??. Same garbage, as with the space center. On the day the ticket is almost the same amount as a year. 75 per adult, 65 to baby! And this is one park for one day! But there is a ticket for $ 250 – 6 parks, 12 days. But it we do not need. We are here only for 3 days. + Selling for 40 bucks per person Express ticket – to cut the usual queues. We bought a combo ticket to the 2 parks in 2 days. 2 adults and a child – 290 bucks.

Visited Sea World. Sea World Orlando. Again, as in kosmotsentre – Maghazi on Maghazi, snack on fast food. And the size is not impressive.

Show with a killer – nothing so glamorous. But the pathos! Shaw called “Believe!”. Motto: “Believe!” And it will come true. ” As an example, show some ignoramus who dresses his tail sticks out of killer whales. Then this ignoramus at the beach and sees the killer whale in the sea. He jumped into the canoe and swims in the sea. Killer Whale jumping. Immediately orca jumps and on the show and that the mature minor runs from behind the scenes. What he believed, and I did not understand. Before the show paid tribute to the applause of all the soldiers of America and the Alliance. Oh yes, for the soldiers and their families – some cash.

Were in aquaticabyseaworld. Not bad. A lot of water. Rides. My daughter flew with the largest hills too. Poor baby. He is afraid, but nowhere to go. Parents also want to ride.

Food
There are many different eateries. And such simpatichnenkie with sofas coupe.
Food usual, without distorted. Very tasty pancakes. Coffee and cola with endless Refills. Fried eggs, bacon, pancakes, hamburgers, steaks – lepota. Nice Starbucks coffee shop type. But the sweet popcorn in movie theaters no! Only salt. Moreover – they melted butter poured over it (probably because dietary). Not so we decided to try.

Summary
Go watch and relax – you can even, perhaps, necessary. To work, to nail down Salvage, probably, too. But to live, IMHO, better in the old world.

My trip to the U.S.

Today, young people prefer not to just rest abroad, they turn to the international educational and cultural exchange programs to improve foreign language, earn and see the world simultaneously. Typically, three – four months of summer vacation, Russian students have time to implement all their plans.

Today our guest Alex Godyna, a student at the Astrakhan State Technical University:

Before traveling to the U.S. I would not know English spoken. At the Center of emigration and exchange programs, I propose a program of Work and travel USA, I stopped her because she was allowed to choose the work on site. That is to say, I was invited to the management of attractions in the city Oupocherkbich Maine – is in the north – eastern coast of the U.S. Center – Boston, but pressing the button two weeks of attractions, I wanted to do something more interesting. Acquainted with Russian students, who better than I possessed in English, we started looking for work. At first, worked through the newspapers, then found in Portland special employment offices, where they offered us a good option, but in Portland. We do not want to change residence and rent a car could not afford. Do not forget, we got some money. Then we just started to bypass the organization, and were on the site.

To me, the future of mechanics, on the project was very interesting, I met with new construction materials and new technologies. The Americans are building office buildings and homes from foam, various nets and heaters, sometimes it seems to assemble design.

First, at a construction site all working to clear debris, and then begin to explore the construction field. By the end of September, I was already working on an equal footing, even on the lifting and transport mechanisms. We toiled for 12 hours and still worked part time in restaurants. The only pity is that initially, having no experience of foreign travel. Lost a lot of time to work. Those who follow us, I advise: choose a southern state, where there are no sharp fluctuations in climate. Because if you settle down to the construction site or other seasonal work, then on your earnings will affect wind, rain and heat. Choose a big city, there’s more opportunities for employment. Better to go with a partner, one head is good, two is better, and think its OS security there must be the same as in Russia. Language, too, need to know, because competition is high, the states go to work people from all countries of the former Eastern Bloc.

Girl’s best to start with work in the scout camps. That’s a lot cheaper for spending. In addition, there is stability, security and safety.

If vykazhite diligence and promptness. That is a chance to be invited by the employer for the next season, but it was a good prospect of higher earnings.

Month of the four I relaxed, swam in the Atlantic Ocean, played on the beach in basketball, getting acquainted with the lives of Americans. Of course, this is an entirely different world, which I liked. There have been various adventures, but the hard work paid off. I am very pleased that he decided on this trip. I would still go abroad on exchange programs, but after graduation to make it more difficult. Is that the internship.
