5 TV Shows to Watch to Prepare Yourself for American Culture

1)      Friends is a classic TV show about the typical friendship structure amongst most Americans. Phoebe is your classic hippy, peace loving weirdo and is one of the funniest TV characters on TV. Ross is the usual nerdy guy who is desperately in love with the pretty girl. Joey is the typical jock who did not do well in school, and is an unemployed actor. Rachel is the pretty girl who had to start over after a broken engagement, and relies on her looks to move up in the world. Chandler has an extremely sarcastic sense of humor, but deep down is a very sensitive guy. And Monica used to be overweight in high school, and is an attractive up and coming chef. This is one of the great things about America that you can have 6 completely different people become best friends for a lifetime.

Getting around New York City

After arriving at JFK airport and checking into your hotel in Manhattan, you will discover quite quickly that transportation in the city is not the easiest. Sure there's the subway and the public buses but New York is most famous for it's taxis.
While stopping a taxi in the city is not normally an issue sometimes dealing with the American money or even having enough on you is problematic.

That is where Get Taxi comes in.

Customers Respond At&T

I just returned from my trip to the USA and truly enjoyed my TelAway experience. I had unlimited calling in the USA and back home (landlines and mobiles), unlimited internet, unlimited SMS, and to top it all off a local UK number! While TelAway's service was superb, what I enjoyed most was the local number. I was available throughout my trip for my friends and family back home in the UK!

The Best Prepaid SIM Card for USA. TelAway Review

I was skeptical, this wasn’t my first time travelling to the USA. Was the TelAway prepaid sim card USA actually going to work. Was TelAway really as good as our clients have rated and reveiwed

Let me give a little background regarding my skepticism. This wasn’t my first time going to the US with a temporary phone; last time I ended up with an old style candy bar phone. You know those NOKIA phones, great reception but I missed my smart phone. Travelling around the US for meetings looking for a WIFI hot spot in order to get online was one of the most annoying aspects of my trip.
