,,I want to respond to the lady who is coming to the US on a tourist visa.
I also want to ask if there is anything we can tell you about our countries (within forum rules, of course)? This may help in clearing up any misunderstandings about where we live.,,
Hello, men
Thanks for the answer
To tell the truth, I have not too much questions and I hope for the help of the guide which will meet us in New York. But, maybe, some themes are better for discussing in advance.
If to consider big cities of America, for example New York and Philadelphia I want to know:
1) What transport is most convenient for moving on a city? The underground, the bus or a taxi?
Whether is a taxi a safe type of transport? How to call a taxi? Is it possible to take a taxi in the street?
In what time the underground stops to work and how much it safe to go late at night?
What cost of services of a taxi (approximately)? Is it necessary to pay off under the account, or to give to the driver a little more money?
2)Services of what telephone company are better for using for calls to Russia?
3) How it is better to pay off in shops, credit card or cash?
4) The national American cuisine - what is this(if not to speak about a McDonalds)?
Where Americans have dinner in the afternoon? Whether there is a difference in cost between cafe and restaurant and where is better to go to the tourist? Is it necessary to reserve restaurant in advance? How much tip is necessary to leave to the waiter?
Well, this all questions for this moment . Can be, I will have more later.
Thank you in advance.
