America and the United States for all
In America, and in particular in the U.S., who come not only ubiquitous, vacationers and tourists shop, but also business people, as in New York frequently hosts international conferences and congresses. Often here the guests and scholars, as the United States are famous for their universities and scientists around the world. Actually, everyone should go there and experience the beauty of democracy and the uniqueness of power.
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. Read the rest of this entry »
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.
