prepare for so-called "american smile"..

these dudes always smile no matter what.. and it doesn't mean they are happy all the time.. they just are able to hide their emotions inside..

so, even if they don't like you as person, they won't ever show that.. 

be careful)).. 

 

sorry guys who thinks differently, but i said what i experienced while being in States..

Read about that state, you should have a background about it before you live there. You have to know that state history and how people do live their life , what kind of food they eat and grow plus what are the important events that state has and so on.

Because each state is different than the other. So, it would be good to have information about the place that you will live in to know how to live that state’s climate.

Good luck. That's all what I have for now but I'm sure Nu pogodi will help you with more tips.

  2. A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
  3. It is unlawful for a person to consume an alcoholic beverage while operating a motor vehicle upon a public roadway, if the person is observed doing so by a peace officer.
