I visited NY city for the first time this summer. I found everyone I talked to quite friendly and helpful. Several people went out of their way to help me find my way when I was lost. One lady actually walked with me for six blocks to show me the closest subway station.

I am going with a couple of friends to Panama next week. We are looking for something to do other than just hang out at the beach. Any good shopping outlets or spas or other fun activities?

Don't have a lot of spare money right now. Was going to wait til Christmas time to use my vacation time, but I have to get away from my job... It's driving me nuts!

Thought something in the North Ga Mtns area might be nice, but I'm not having any luck finding anything that looks appealing. Something on the Ga Coast would be relaxing. I just have to be able to take my 3 dogs (all under 50 lbs) with me.

Have any ideas?

How do you get a visa / green card to be able to work in the states? I live in the UK and have done all my life, but would love to spend time working in America, my mother says it's impossible to get into America and I would never get a 'Green Card'. I'm not loaded and don't have my own business, am just a normal working 25 yr old.
How do other people do it? Move / live / work in the states? Does anyone know what it would involve getting a visa / green card, or is my mum right in saying I don't have a chance?

Last time I was in Vegas I got drunk and decided to go to the Stratosphere to ride the rides on top of their 1,100 foot plus tower. But then I read one of their rules that said I couldn't be drunk while doing it. So I thought the hell with it and didn't bother to sober up for the rides. Why is it that I can't be drunk and ride? After all those are some pretty scary rides and it would help to be drunk while riding them.

everyone says nobody should feels sorry for people who live in new orleans la,, because
1 we are black
2 our city is mostly black
3 we have high numbers of black people who were on welfare
we were a low class city
4 new orleans people dont deserve tax payers money bacause we we already receving gorvement help and didt'n have much no way

but let me let america know something every state, country, city, parish, county,has their blacks, white, asians,mexicans, arabs,korean people.

not everyone in new were receiveing gorvement help and not everyone down there was poor. i never had a father figure in my life and my mother own her own property and had her own home rasie 6 kids on her own and never recieve gorverment help.
we are just like everyone else.
I'm reading these boards and forums and listening to what people are saying about us. (we should have had insurance on our houses, we should have left this and that.)
but not everyone could have left because of money problems

Asking on Travel as locals also post comments here to out of towners.

I will be purchasing a house in either LV or Henderson soon. Can anyone recommend a good home inspection company? I would be very appreciative of your comments and experience. Also if you suggest a stay away company, want to know that one as well.
Thanks for your time.

I'll be visiting NYC this weekend and would like to know how much it cost to use the pay phones. Is it unlimited?

I'm asking this because I'd like to use calling cards to call back home (Canada). I'm assuming this way will be cheaper than using the cell phone. What are your suggestions of good calling cards?

I recently visited Orlando, Florida, and I liked it and had plenty of fun, but they weren't my type of crowd.

what are the crowds like in Kansas city, Mo?
For example:
Are they New Yorkers' real "out spoken", or real proud cocky people, or " if your not from here, you don't belong here", type of attitude, are they a welcoming type of crowd?

let me know?

I'm not trying to upset anybody from Florida, it's just an opinion.

I'm moving next month to Seattle, and have so far avoided buying big "REI-looking" jackets, they're just not cute enough! I have several pea coats etc, but nothing really rain-proof. Does everyone in Seattle wear gortex jacket-type gear? Or are their cooler alternatives?
...I'm also having the same trouble with water-proof shoes...any and all advice is welcome! Thanks!

We are leaving on Thursday night and coming back Sunday night. By doing this, should we avoid the worst of the traffic? Also, we are driving with our seven month old daughter- is this a dangerous drive, or should it be no more dangerous than any other interstate?

In a week I am going to Vegas (from LA) to work first time at Spearmint Rhino as an exotic dancer. I wanted to ask how many girls work there every night and how many men go to the club? Is it true that $5 goes to house per every dance?
Is September a busy month at the club?
Thank you!
