I don’t know where you live, but many electronics cost more in other countries.
For example, I went to Ukraine a few weeks ago and most electronics made by US companies cost nearly double.
I got my uncle an Ipod Touch for $500 and it costs a grand there.
Get a family pack of rubbers. I’m sure they have them there, but I just wanted a place to point this out… why the hell is it called a family pack? It really does say “family pack” on some of them.
Dad comes home, OK guys, get your weekly rations. … who the hell is in charge of marketing?[/quote]
Electronics are a lot cheaper, but do some research before you plunk down money for something like a PS3 as it probably won’t be compatible with your TV.
F that. All the good rollers fled the Castro regime. Cubans are hardly worth the price considering the construction is hit or miss at best these days(unless you believe everything you read in Cigar Aficionado).

Is that Carl’s Jr. place any good? I always see the commercials and I’m heading to the states in a couple of weeks.
No. Their both different fast food chains. Carl’s Jr is only in the west coast, in the east coast its called hardee’s(same menu). Jack n the box is only in california. I believe. Order the six dollar burger form Carls J.r/ hardees.

Jack n the Box is here in Nevada too. I’m sure they have many more locations.
Buy a football. bring it back to your country and try to explain the mystic object. who knows maybe it will help your countrys aero-space program or maybe even get some running water.

How did you like Ukraine? And I do agree, everything is a lot more expensive there.
If you’re going to buy electronics, make sure you can deal with some of them being broken. That happens. If you don’t label fragile, you’re screwed.
Thanks, all. Yeah, I wanna eat a shitload of unhealthy of American food, I’m actually feeling paranoid about how it might throw me off my fat loss progress
And thanks Aragorn, haven’t really thought about what natural locations I wanna visit yet, aside from mt. rushmore. Biotest said they can ship to hotels, so once I get this worked out with one of the places I’m staying at, looks like I’ll be set!

Oh and, yes, definitely get some western wear from Texas. Stetson hat, boots, and some regular Wranglers or Levi jeans and maybe a few western shirts. That’s about as uniquely American as you can get.[/quote]
Yup, though if you have big glutes then Cinch (white label) or Southern Thread (whatever their looser fit is) jeans are much better than Wranglers or Levis and European women have told me they look better, too. Nice hats are a pain in the ass to transport on planes but you just get a cheap crushable felt one. Europeans won’t be able to tell the difference anyway.
Also, some proper Texas salsa and candied jalapeno slices - some of my European friends really love the latter and even those who don’t find them an interesting curiosity. Maybe mole sauce, which you can use for anything from chicken to ice cream. Dried pequins are also good to stock up on, and maybe you can pick up some dried tepin pepper, though that’s not too easy to find.
America also has many small breweries which make great beers. North Coast, Dogfish Head, Unibroue (from Quebec) etc.
Photo equipment is far cheaper and my relatives are always bringing something for my uncle’s photographer friends (usually from B&H in New York), but do you want to get cool stuff for yourself or make money reselling things?
Make sure to get some sports apparel from the teams over here, except stuff for the New York Yankees or New England Patriots. They’re our version of Manchester United. An aluminium baseball bat would be cool too :-).

Don’t waste your time with fast food burgers and fries!!!
Get good ones at whatever the best local place is. Just ask around.
