Business people are generally expected to wear shirt and tie, although a man may wear a short-sleeved shirt under his suit in hot weather. Normal business courtesies should be observed, although Americans tend to be less formal than Europeans. Appointments and punctuality are normal procedure and business cards are widely used. Dates in America are written month-day-year: 4 July 1998 would thus be abbreviated as 7/4/98. Write out the month in full to avoid confusion. Office hours are 0900-1730 Monday to Friday.
Visitors to major cities should be vigilant to their surroundings. Visitors should avoid walking alone at night, and should avoid walking through obviously run-down neighborhoods. To avoid becoming victims of pickpockets, purse-snatchers, or muggers, visitors are advised not to wear flashy jewelry and to carry only necessary cash and credit cards. Gangs and thieves are targeting vehicles and their contents on an increased basis. Visitors are advised to lock their vehicles properly and park their cars in well-lit areas. Visitors should not sleep on the side of the road or pick up hitchhikers. Hitchhikers have been known to rob, assault, and even murder their drivers. Carjackings against tourists are a main concern of foreigners traveling to Miami. In late 1992 and early 1993, a number of tourists were killed in Miami carjackings, including, in separate incidents, two Canadians and a German woman. The German woman was murdered after she took a wrong turn while leaving Miami airport. Thugs bumped her rental car -- identifiable by its unique license plate -- beat her, then ran her over with their own vehicle. It is comforting to know that tourist attacks have decreased in recent years. Miami authorities have put forth several efforts to crack down on crime against foreigners.
Hotels are plentiful in nearly every U.S. destination. The majority of hotels are modern and part of national and international chains, often with standard prices. In general the quality of accommodation is high, with facilities such as televisions and telephones in each room. Basic categories fall into 'Super', 'Deluxe', 'Standard', 'Moderate' and 'Inexpensive'. Prices vary according to standards.
Full telephone IDD service is available. The country code is 1 and the outgoing international code is 011. For emergency police, fire or medical services, dial 911. There are fax bureaus in all main centers, and major hotels also have facilities. Fax services are very widely available at many corner pharmacies and stationary shops. Post office hours are 0900-1700 (24 hours at main offices in larger cities).
is a 110/120 volts AC, 60Hz. Plugs are of the flat 2-pin type. Electricity 110 volts AC, 60Hz. Plugs are of the flat two-pin type. European electrical appliances not fitted with dual-voltage capabilities will require a plug adaptor, which is best purchased before arrival in the USA. The television system is NTSC I/II and is not compatible with the PAL and SECAM systems used in Asia and Europe, although cassettes can be converted.
A,B
In large cities, restaurants are mostly modern and very clean, offering a vast range of cuisines, prices and facilities. Restaurants come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from fast-food, self-service and counter service to drive-in and table service. The ?diner? is an integral part of the US way of life; consisting of a driveway, neon lights and simple food served from the counter; these are generally located in or just outside smaller towns. See Food & Drink in the individual State sections for further details on regional specialties.
National specialties:
? Fried chicken.
? Hamburgers.
? Apple pie. National drinks:
? Coca-Cola.
? Espresso.
? Regional wines.
? Microbrewery beer Things to know: There are also many types of bars, ranging from the smart cocktail lounge, cafe-style, high ?saloon? style bars and imitations of English pubs to the ?regular? bar. Generally speaking, waiter/waitress service costs more. Drinking laws are set by the individual States, counties, municipalities and towns, although traditionally closing time in bars is between midnight and 0300. Legal Drinking Age: The legal age for drinking also varies from 18 to 21 from State to State and the laws on the availability of alcohol run from New Orleans? policy of anytime, anywhere and to anyone, to localities, such as in Utah, where drinking is strictly prohibited.
Tipping:
Widely practiced, as service charges are not usually included in the bill and waiters depend heavily on tips for their income. Waiters generally expect 15 to 20 per cent, as do taxi drivers and hairdressers. It should be noted that a cover charge is for admission to an establishment, not a tip for service. Porters generally expect US$1 per bag.
Nightlife
Clubs generally stay open until the early hours in cities, where one can find music and theater of all descriptions. Theater tickets for Broadway, New York?s equivalent of London?s West End ?Theaterland?, can be booked through the Group Sales Box Office, 226 West 47th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10036 (tel: (800) 223 7565 or (212) 398 8383; website: www.bestofbroadway.com). Special discounts for group bookings are available. Tickets must be paid for in advance and will be mailed out or kept at the theater box office for collection on the night of the performance. Gambling is only allowed in licensed casinos and the legal age for gamblers is 21 years of age or over.
Restricted entry The following are not eligible to receive a USA entry visa: (a) people afflicted with certain serious communicable diseases or disorders deemed threatening to the property, safety or welfare of others; (b) anyone who has been arrested (except for very minor driving offences) or who has a criminal record; (c) narcotics addicts or abusers and drug traffickers; (d) anyone who has been deported from or denied admission to the USA.

Valid passport required by all; validity varies - for most countries it is required for the duration of the stay; check with the Embassy (see Passport/Visa Information).
New Requirements for Travelers: The US Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. This is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports. This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement.
For further details about the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, visit the website of the US Department of State: www.state.gov).

Note*: (a) Passengers must have the full address and ZIP code of where they are staying in the USA to be able to fully complete the I-94W form. (b) Members of Visa Waiver Program countries who want to work, study or remain more than 90 days in the USA must apply for a visa before traveling, as should those who have been previously refused a visa, have a criminal record, or are in any way ineligible for an unrestricted visa.

Most visits to the USA are trouble-free but visitors should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
The US Government remains concerned about continued threats. Since the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, the US Government has issued a number of warnings of potential further terrorist attacks in the US. The US domestic threat level stands at "elevated" (yellow).
Visitors should expect stringent security checks at airports and public buildings.
Visitors should be alert to the dangers of car and street crime in cities.
Hurricane Rita made landfall on the east Texas/west Louisiana coast on the morning of Saturday 24 September. After landfall, Rita caused significant damage, flooding, power outages and road closures in areas hit hardest.
Hurricane Katrina caused widespread damage in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in August 2005.
This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organizations for the latest travel advice:

US Dollar (US$) = 100 cents. Notes are in denominations of US$100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1. Coins are in denominations of US$1, and 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1 cents.
There are no limits on the import or export of either foreign or local currency. However, amounts in excess of US$10,000 or the equivalent (including foreign currency, traveller's cheques, money orders and ?bearer bonds?) must be registered with US Customs on Form 4790. Failure to do so may result in civil and criminal prosecution, including seizure of the money. There is an embargo on transactions of US currency with Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Korea (Democratic People's Republic of).
Variable, but generally Mon-Fri 0900-1500.
Hotels do not, as a rule, exchange currency and only a few major banks will exchange foreign currency, so it is advisable to arrive with US Dollars.
Most major credit cards are accepted throughout the USA, including American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa. Check with your credit or debit card company for details of merchant acceptability and other services that may be available. Visitors are advised to carry at least one major credit card, as it is common to request prepayment or a credit card imprint for hotel rooms and car hire, even when final payment is not by credit card.
Widely accepted in hotels, stores and restaurants, provided they are US Dollar cheques; Sterling traveller's cheques are not acceptable and few banks will change these. Change is issued in US Dollars. It should be noted that many banks do not have the facility to cash traveller's cheques (the US banking system differs greatly from that of the UK) and those that do are likely to charge a high commission. One or (in some cases) two items of identification (passport, credit card, driving license) may also be required. To avoid additional exchange rate charges, travelers are advised to take traveller's cheques in US Dollars.

A high standard of dental care is available throughout the USA
Supplies of international medications are available from both the hospitals and private pharmacies in the USA
Blood supplies are considered safe and screened to international standards
Recent medical and dental exams should ensure that the traveler is in good health. Carry appropriate health and accident insurance documents and copies of any important medical records. Bring an adequate supply of all prescription and other medications as well as any necessary personal hygiene items, including a spare pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses if necessary.
All routine vaccines (such as DTP or Td, Hib, MMR, polio, varicella, influenza and pneumococcal) should be kept up to date as a matter of good health practice unrelated to travel.
The incidence of communicable diseases is such that they are unlikely to prove a hazard for the international traveler greater than that found in his own country. There are, of course, health risks, but in general the precautions required are minimal. Insect-borne illness: Encephalitis - occurs Human granulocyte ehrlichiosis (HGE) - occurs (spread by the same deer tick that carries Lyme disease; easily treatable but only responds to doxycycline; potentially fatal; cases have been reported in northwestern Wisconsin, northeastern Minnesota, Connecticut, and New York) Lyme disease - occurs (cases have recently been reported from all but 6 states [Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, and North Dakota] with 88% reported from Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Wisconsin; the first 6 states account for the most substantial increase; risk for exposure can vary significantly within states and be highly concentrated in specific areas; highest risk is from May to August in the northeast and north central regions and from January to May in the Pacific region) Plague - occurs (isolated foci in southwest) Rocky Mountain spotted fever - occurs Other hazards: High levels of immunization coverage have reduced the incidence of diseases such as measles and diphtheria. Influenza risk extends from November to April. Rabies - occurs in wildlife, including bats (an increased need for precaution in the Mid-Atlantic states [Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington DC] has been noted due to a continuing increase of rabies incidence in wild animals both in rural and urban areas. Travelers are advised to avoid contact with raccoons, foxes, skunks, groundhogs and bats) Tularemia - occurs
None.

Press: The most influential papers are the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the Washington Post. Owing to the high degree of self-Government of each State, newspapers tend to be region specific, although recent economic pressures have resulted in large-scale mergers. Even so, the USA publishes more newspapers than any other country, and has perhaps the bulkiest Sunday newspapers in the world, particularly the Sunday edition of The New York Times.
TV: The top television networks are ABC (American Broadcasting Corp), CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System), CNN (Cable News Network), FOX (Fox Television Network), and NBC (National Broadcasting Corp).
Radio: Among the national radio networks are ABC Radio Networks, American Radio Network (operated by CBS), National Public Radio and Westwood One (operated by CBS).
