United States: (California)...dial *911* for emergencies, but don't expect anyone at 911 to expect you to speak english
 *Mexico is just a hop, skip and a jump away...literally* hehe

United States / Southern California - When going anywhere on any freeway/highway between the hours of 5AM to 9AM and 3PM to 7PM any day add an extra hour to your trip ... you will be stuck in traffic.

United States- Coast to Coast (California and New York I have noticed especially)
Beware the public transportion (Buses and Subways) Avoid touching ANYTHING, just eww yuck contaminated, don't know where the person who touched it before you has been. AND on the upside, never a dull moment, since there is ALWAYS someone or something entertaining for you to watch. A fat man trying to sit in a little bitty seat between to shrieking girls in a bikini heading the beach, or a bag lady talking to the window or pole right next you. *Try not to laugh, and avoid eye contact with such characters if possible* -------------------- "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me."

United States - Southern California - Californians do eat more than bean sprouts and tofu.
And Coast to Coast - Milk is good for every body! Just ask our happy cows.
