Dos and Don’ts for USA Travel
Despite what difficult procedures (程序) you may have to get to the U.S, including visa troubles, airport safety checks, and something else like these, the United States is a quite relaxing place once you arrive. 16 Following are basic tips about traveling in the USA.
Don’t try to see and do too much.
17 Many foreign visitors to the United States try to see New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Los Angeles all in one trip. That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired if you have limited vacation days. The best way is to focus on a place and more deeply.

While traveling in the United States, do be sure to smile, ask questions, say “please” and “thank you”, and be patient. In almost all cases, your kindness will be rewarded by locals who want to show you the best of their cities and towns.
Do obey traffic signs and laws.
Traveling outside of the United States, I have noticed that stop lights and “No Parking” signs in some parts of the world are only suggestions for drivers. Not in America. Drivers must come to a full stop at a red light and remain stopped until the light turns green. 19
Do be on time.
America takes punctuality very seriously. 20 Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to get to some place, especially if you’re not familiar with the area as unexpected delays can happen, such as heavy traffic.
A. It is considered rude to be late.
B. Besides, drivers should obey the speed limit.
C. Do be kind, smile, and enjoy yourself.
D. Don’t think you can smoke anywhere.
E. United States is very large.
F. Try to use the vocabulary they use in their everyday life.
G. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about.
