i will try again. i wrote a really long response on where to visit and places you should see on your trip and it erased it. i am so mad. i spent a lot of time on it. i will re write it for you. i forgot to cut and paste. anyways. if you know someone in America like a long distance relative or friend then you could stay with them on your adventure. That way it would be much cheaper. If you are looking to work then i would suggest staying in one city. If you stayed in New York City there are many job vaccancies there however you will need to get a work visa since you aren't a citizen of the country. Here are the list of cities and places you would learn a lot from and maybe enjoy. One of the first places you will visit is New York City since they have one of the most used international airports. New York City has many things to see. Such as Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Chrysler Building, Ellis Island, Empire State Building and American Museum of Natural History. Another good place to visit would be Chicago. It has the Sears Tower, the John Hancock Building, Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, Lincoln Park, Buckingham Fountain, and you could even catch a baseball game. I've been to Chicago since i only live 3 hours away. It has many things to see and lake michigan is beautiful. a baseball game would be fun too. i've been to a cubs game at wrigley field. it was fun and exciting. as you know it's the home of the Chicago Bears which is playing in the superbowl tomorrow. Go Bears. Miami is also a nice warm place to visit. since you are going in the summer then i dont think that will be a problem. i will warn you that they have hurricanes in the summer and you should watch the weather for information on this before visiting the city. It has a few sites to see such as the monkey jungle, miami seaquarium, the venetian pool and the holocaust museum. i wouldn't leave without visiting the city of Las vegas. besides the casinos there are other things you may want to see. the chapel of love, the star trek experience, the fremont street experience, and hoover dam. Los Angeles would also be much fun. it holds the famous holloywood sign, the walk of fame, universal studios, warner bros studios, and the old chinatown plaza. my personal favorite would be universal studios. while you're in california you should visit san diego and san francisco. san diego has sea world, balboa park, san diego zoo, san diego's beaches, and seaport village to name a few. my personal favorite here would be sea world. san francico hold the golden gate bridge, the golden gate park, alcatraz jail, pier 39, angel island, exploratorium, metreon, and the ss jeremiah o'brien. i would have to say that golden gate bridge and the golden gate park would be my personal favorite as well as alcatraz jail. that would be fun and interesting. while you are on the east coast go to washington d.c. it holds many historical places to visit such as the white house, vietnam veterans memorial, washington monument and lincoln memorial. if you would like more information on any of these cities just ask. i have lots of information concerning budget tips, entertainment, places to eat, accomodations, getting around and just general information. hope this has helped you with your trip to the USA.
