The border security seemed a bit lax considering I just came from another country. I was pulled away for "questioning" where all they did was ask 1 question on what my trip is for and checked my passport.

Although the actual security I went through was eh, it's weird walking through an area with like 20 cops open carrying pistols

It seemed to be just the border guard or whatever but while they wernt nescessarily rude, they did often cut you off mid sentence, spoke more like they were ordering you around than asking another equal to do something, and didn't make any eye contact.
There was no respect for some lady going through the body scanner and the guy in charge of it just yelled out and made a scene about "needing female assistence". Overall not a great process but eh

I've never seen someone late for planes until today. But today at the American airport I saw like 3 different groups of people turn up late and miss their plane at the gate I was at. And every time after that when i heard final boarding calls for other gates I could see people start running. Boggles my mind that they are that unprepared

Drove through some area with a bunch of homeless trying to sell water. Never really seen many homeless beggars in Aus. I've personally only seen one before today then saw like 10 in this one area

On that note, driving in America is fucked. This middle lane thing used for turning is weird. Some truck just activated his horn for seemingly no reason. Some guy parked in the middle turning lane and got out of his car. Everything being on the other side of the road seems wrong

If you think border/immigration is bad just get ready for the TSA when you leave. All the officiousness with none of the authority.

despite what you may have heard, if you want to see the cops get into a firefight with automatic weapon toting criminals, you'll have to travel south of the border. too soon?

Starbucks HQ is up in that corner of the US, so I'm sure you'll see a lot. Head over to DC if you get the chance.

Also I'll be visiting Australia in a couple months, mainly in NSW

Weird. So then how do you guys make turns? You drive on the left, correct? So what happens when you make a right, you just sit in the lane until you're able to do it? Cuz we have lanes like that in some places here in NY, but they drive me fucking crazy lol.

Also come check out Long Island when you're in NY. We got lots of cool beaches (not helpful now) but also lots of cool farms. Though, the farms are jam packed on weekends this time of year.

So when we need to make a right lane we do just wait for oncoming traffic to pass like you do in America. But we don't sit in a turning lane like over here (maybe they do exist somewhere in Aus I've just never seen them). If it's a busy road there's probably a "passing lane" which cars behind the turning car use to navigate around whoever is stopped and turning. Sometimes you can drive off-road if it's like some back alley. On very busy roads and dual lane roads I think it's illegal to make right turns

I dont think I'll have time to go to long island when I'm NY. I'm going to Niagara falls and some other places tho

Surprised you haven't seen a McDonalds.

But indeed, Starbucks is fast food chain #2. It might even be #1 now in the big cities

I've seen a few now but definitely the amount of Starbucks has dwarfed it. I've even seen more taco bells now. I thought this was the McDonald's capital of the world

New Hampshire is super scenic and has towns with some of the lowest crime rates in the entire country. But it also gets disgustingly cold during the winter though, so it's a trade-off.

Vehicles do not activate their horns, they honk them. And many drivers treat them like toys.

Typical is 15%. More for really good service. $20 for that bill was good.

I'm in Florida now

There's so much water everywhere
Just water on the ground. Water as far as the eye can see. Liquid gold just on the ground. Why

And in Oregon water just fell from the sky

How is this possible

The heat sucks as well

In Miami now, i might check them out

Ive had some drinks from Starbucks now and all of them have been terrible, especially those cold drinks in gas station stores. How they became popular blows my mind. It's not like McDonald's where at least it tastes good. It's just shit. And taco bell is shit as well. I can't believe they are this popular over here
