Out Of Scale

by solopes

We all have what I call “Our own scale”. I mean that we get acquainted to the usual distances, time scheduling, and rhythm of life, that, all together, compose that scale. That helps making our life predictable and controllable, easing decisions and life itself. When we move to another country or society, sometimes things are different, forcing to an adapting time, until getting “fixed” in the new scale. A tourist doesn't usually have that time, so, travelling demands a special attention the “the scale”. In a global world under the American culture, the differences are fading, turning the adaptation quick and easy. But, sometimes, surprises do happen. Then, you better be attempt to that notion of scale. If you do, you get a new point of observation of the visited place, and will be able to enrich your knowledge understanding the differences. But if you don’t, then you will probably feel...

LAPD - Final highlite - Driving a police mc

by akkipaa

During our two weeks and 3000 miles we got no problems with the traffic or police. We saw a lot of police cars, some motorcycles and discussed with some polices in cafes and restaurants. Nice and polite people, always helping with all issues you might face there.Finally, in the last evening in LA downtown we witnessed a police action, two police motorcycles hunted a car and the car was stopped in about 200 meter distance from us. We we came to scene, we took a look to motorcycles, hey there are shooting guns all the police equipment, the other was a Harley and the other BMW. My eyes shined and the other police game and I was sure he ask us to go away, but no, in a few seconds we had discussed that we just passed Route 66 and were motorist. Finally he asked: "Would you like to drive a police motorcycle?". WHAT? Drive a police motorcycle! Yes, and my eyes shined more.If you don't trust me,...

Annual National Parks Pass

by blueskyjohn

One thing to note with the Annual National Park Pass, now called "America The Beautiful Pass". You do not have to decide on your first park visit to purchase the annual pass. Hold onto your receipt and if you decide within one week at another park you want the annual pass, you can provide that receipt and receive credit off the annual pass. As long as it is within one week. For example, if you go to Arches and Canyonlands, then decide at Bryce you want the annual pass, present the two receipts and it will be deducted from the $80 annual pass. This is a great option, just in case your not sure you will make all the parks or able to return within one year to use the annual pass again (looks like your schedule only allows for 1 week). But if you plan on visiting the parks throughout the year, $80 its a great deal.

Food For Thought

by lmkluque

You probably missed it in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American. The next day, an Australian dentist wrote an editorial, to let everyone know what an American is, so they would know when they found one. (Thank You mate!!!!)"An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Slovak or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Iraqui, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan. An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans. An American is Christian, or Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only...

The World is Our Root

by lmkluque

One of my fondest memories of the U.S.A. is it's ancestral relationship with the whole world. France gave this statue to us and it has become the symbolic beacon to the world of perennial hope. Though it seems, that with each new wave of immigrants comes a collective grumbling from those settled here, in time, the new citizens blend with the old and they too grumble when a newer wave of immigrants arrive. A cycle of adjustment seems to be experienced before everyone can settle down.Grumbling is one thing, expressing indiscriminate hate is another. Attacks and blame against some of our newest immigrants, Arabs and Muslims, who have nothing to do with terrorist activities, hurt my heart as much as the terrorist attacks. I have perennial HOPE that this nation protects all innocent people.

U.S. Route 66 - The Mother Road

by akkipaa

U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway) is known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road and it's probably The most famous road in the world.Route 66 was established 1926 and the road signs were erected the following year. The highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).The song, Route 66 was originally recorded by Nat King Cole Trio in 1946 and it is written by Bobby Troup. There are multiple variations, including the Finnish version (1964), made by Jussi and the Boys according to Finnish Route 66 (Orivesi - Lapua). The Boys travelled on the road and it was in so bad conditions that lyrics tells: "Tehkää uus, valtatie kuuskut kuus" meaning "Make a new, route sixty-six". Funny history is that after Road...

Route 66 Forum Question Answer

by riorich55

I am from the U.S. and grew up and still live in the Chicago area where the eastern part of Route 66 starts. Part of Route 66 goes through the town I grew up in. I have been on a portion of the road out west, but have never travelled the entire length. A good portion of the original Route 66 is no longer and a lot has been obviously replaced by the more modern Interstate Highway System. However, you can get off the Interstate system and go on portions of the old road. In the section I am most familiar with in Illinois a portion of the old Route 66 is now frontage road to Interstate 55 from Chicago to St Louis. Your question is it with doing I guess would really depend on what you expect to get out of the trip. If you go the entire length from Chicago to Los Angeles you are going to see a lot of different things and get a good slice of Americana especially if you are willing to get "off...

Tip.

by Dizzyhead

If you come from a country where you dont tip the waitress or the bartender, dont expect much service from them in the coming hours. In the USA they are depending to survive on the tip, and I dont know if they dont have any hours salary, but this is the way in this country. Just buy it and have fun. I dont like the system either, but I am guest in their country, then I cant change the customs at all. I am just a guest in this country. 2012 I have no idea what you give in tip for one beer for example, but I usually go after my idea to tip 10% of the sum especially in the restaurants.
