What as a English man should I look out for on a trip to the USA.

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 condolence, I'm not joking.

If you're doing activities outdoors: Always bring an extra bottle of water. That is to say, bring a bottle to drink, and then another for when you get thirstier than expected. This season is relatively cool, but you really don't want to be caught unprepared. Also: Arizona has a law requiring businesses to serve water for free if you ask. Don't let anyone bullshit you and ask for money.

Keep an eye on the weather reports, and do not hike down washes, ravines, or narrow canyons if there's a rain storm anywhere nearby. Heavy rainfall several miles away can turn a sunny, dry ravine into a raging torrent that can kill. If you see a road that's currently flowing with water, don't try to cross it, even in a big car. You don't know how deep it really is, and even just a few cms of fast water is enough to sweep a person off their feet and drown them. It doesn't take much more to get a car stuck.

If you're going to Northern Arizona, bring warm clothes. People can be caught unprepared when they leave Phoenix for a day trip and it's 60⁰F, but when they get to Flagstaff 2h later it's snowing.

If you see a Jumping Cholla:

Don't get too close. Their spines are longer than they look because they get so thin as to be nearly invisible.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Single currency, true, nothing else you wrote was

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Single language made me lol.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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.
