No matter how many times I've flow back and forth, I get hit with reverse culture shock. Every. Damn. Time.
You know the route: LA, New York and either San Fran, Miami or Vegas. Nearly every Aussie who’s been to the US has visited those cities. And it’s understandable. They’re great cities.
But New Orleans, Louisiana; Lake Tahoe, Nevada; and Anchorage, Alaska are as well . These spots have less ex-pats, so, they offer more of the quintessential Americana experience. Think super friendly locals, $2 shots and American diners.The US has amazing highways. They’re perfectly planned out, beautifully maintained and have all the country’s best chain restaurants along the way. Most highways even have two versions: The get-me-there-quick road and the scenic route.
Bonus: Driving through small towns, passing farmland and stopping at truck stops along the way will let you see another fascinating side of the US.Tipping is awkward. Do you tip a waiter even if they didn’t do a good job? How much do you tip for massages and haircuts? And what about Uber? Some answers: If the waiter wasn’t great, only tip 15 per cent, but never lower as tips are the bulk of their pay check; tip around 20 per cent for pamper services; and, according to my American friends, no, you don’t have to tip Uber.I once read in an American magazine:"To avoid over-eating, tell your waiter to put half your meal as take-away, before serving it to you." Because American portions are that big.
