Mickey Mouse,
Miami Vice, Sleepless in Seattle... thanks to cinema and TV
we all have impressions of the United States of America. Yet
nothing can prepare you for your first glimpse of
Manhattan's unforgettable skyline, your first ride in a
yellow cab, the ubiquitous hamburger joints, the vast
expanses of prairie, the sweet strains of New Orleans jazz
or the neon-lit excesses of Las Vegas.
The USA is a huge country to explore, with 50 states to
choose from, flanked by two oceans and covering an
incredibly varied terrain. For five centuries, since the
'New World' discoveries of Christopher Columbus, people from
every corner of the globe have come here in search of 'the
American Dream'. |
