Thinking about visiting the States

[brianmanahan]

OP, this guy ^ is trying to poison you!

no, that would be dcal :awe:

I'll be there with a chauffeur hat and a sign reading "biostud".

There was a guy at the airport who wanted me to take a ride with him, no biostud sign though... Went with the sub.

So far NY is the exact opposite of what I thought. Maybe it's because it's Sunday, maybe because I went through central park, but it's really quiet and people just seems to chillax.

Go to Wall St. on Monday morning and see the masses of people.

eh, i was just in kentucky and all i saw was places to drink

:hmm:

You have to head west to the Jackson Purchase. No good BBQ east of Lake Barkley.

PLEASE do NOT visit NY, specifically NYC. It is one of the three most USELESS states in the union, along with CA and MA. Visit colorado, smoke some pot.

Just finished my first week in NYC and it was an amazing experience, me feet are sore but I've seen so much. Now I'm flying to SF and this post is written in 32000 ft heights.

Hi guys. Can you help me locate a store that sells a Nokia wireless charger in san Francisco?

Thanks in advance

 

[kranky]

I think there's a very high probability that you will be able to find one for sale right in the airport. I see chargers sold at every airport I've been to - people forget them at their hotel and realize it on the plane, and when they land they want to get one right away. But it won't be at Amazon prices.

You could take the stealthy approach and when you get to your hotel, say you forgot your charger and ask if by any chance they have one you can borrow. Most decent hotels will have a box full of chargers that people have left behind and will hand you the box to see if you can find one you can use.

I haven't been able to find one in either JFK or sfo, and neither staples or best buy have them.

I thought Eureka was in Oregan?

How did the SiFi channel get that wrong?

Maybe there are more?

Both yreka and eureka are in California. The TV show actually has it in both Washington and Oregon so probably not best to rely on that for geography.

Biostud just order it on amazon and have it shipped to you.

*Wooosh*

Found a charger in a Microsoft store, same price as amazon and 30% cheaper than in Denmark.

A Microsoft store? I almost forgot that those existed. NYC is an Apple town!

Have fun in California! Make sure to take a helicopter tour of the grand canyon while in Vegas, since it's awesome

I went to the apple store and I was tempted to ask if I can get the iPhone in other colors than black and white, and if it supported wireless charging and offline maps to use with GPS, and in the end pull out my phone to take a pic of the store.

Make sure you declare it.

 

[biostud]

Make sure you declare it.

Except i can bring a small amount of goods without declaration

 

[jaedaliu]

we have to declare when returning to the US. I declared ~$50 worth of chocolate and ~$80 for my wife's shoes.

Go grab a lobster roll with all the fixings at New England Lobster. Best $20 you'd ever spend.

I already did got a taste of Maine, which was three rolls with lobster, crab and shrimp. But it was at a small deli at NYC.
