    Where in the USA are you going. Saying you’re going to the USA is like saying you’re going to europe. There’s a vast difference between the different states and regions within those states.

        My condolences.

        Mostly joking, I dont know a damn thing about Arizona. There should be some beautiful national parks there but other than that it’s pretty empty. Vastly different landscape than the UK though so that should be interesting. Also you’re definitely visiting durring the right time of year.

        I lived in Tucson for a while. Very good food scene.

        Weather is actually pretty nice this time of year.

        Nothing really special to be aware of. Stay away from cholla cactus. Lol

      It’s a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there’s a lot of variance within the country, but it’s really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

          Single language made me lol.

          Sure, most signs have English on them… but that’s it.

        I think they meant where, as in are they visiting mountains, desert, rainforest, plains, or certain city or state. There’s a huge range of cultures across the very different regions in the country.

        I honestly love it when such profoundly misinformed statements are put forward with absolute authority like this.

        a single history

        You know that half the country went to war with the other half, right?

        a single government

        In California, you can order weed through an app and get it delivered to your front door. In Idaho, get pulled over after picking up for the month, you’re a felon.

        a single language

        Single official language sure. At my work I’m the only native English speaker and a majority of our customers are foreigners who speak little English.
