How can i get my move to america? -

i really want to live thereand pls dont say your young you ll soon change your mind, i wont!no affence but i find england so dull and boring its alwayss raining,please help :) x

The easiest way��at least in terms of getting a visa��is to apply for and be accepted at a U.S. university or college. Once you are here, it will be much easier to find employment��one who might eventually want to help get a permanent visa.

From the UK, it s difficult. There is a quota for work permits and supposedly a long waiting period. You would need to have an employer here who is willing to help with your paperwork. And in order to get a job, you would need some specific skill or work experience that is not easily found in the US already. If you work for a company in the UK that has branches or offices in the US, you may be able to be transferred.

How do i get from Manhattan Beach, CA to Oxnard, CA without a car? -

So I m going on a 2 week vacation to Manhattan beach with my best friend and planning on going up to Oxnard the first week (love the beach, embassy suites resort and the big outlet there). Any ideas of how to get there without a car? I have a license but it s European and I m 19.

Your European license is valid in the United States if the friends you are visiting would let you borrow a car, but you are too young to rent/hire a car. Most companies require you to be at least 23. and some 25.To travel from Manhattan Beach to Oxnard (sounds like someone clearing their throat) there is a Metrolink commuter train that operates from L.A. Union Station to Oxnard. You can view the schedules at www.metrolinktrains.com . Click on Schedules then click Ventura County Line . Remember this is a commuter train that only operates certain times, and days. The fare is $12.00 each way. The LAST train leaves each direction roughly 6:15 pm (1815 hours).The website for the bus schedules to get you from Manhattan Beach to Union Station is playing games with me today. One source is www.socaltraonport.org . Maybe you ll have better luck with it. Sorry I couldn t help with that one..

you might want to check carpertina or oxnard beaches since they would be closerto what you want to and amtrak even has a stop at Carpinteria matthann beach and oxnard are about 30 miles apartnow depending on what day and time you want to leaveLADOT has their line 438 which will take you from Mannhattan beach toLos Angeles, say to 7th and Figeroura take to 1st or Temple)and then board the D dash bus to Union stationthen you can take amtrak to oxnardnote the 438 only runs in the AM to los angeles

Get to LAX.. They have a bus that runs a few times a day to the Ventura Airport called: Ventura County Airporter. Also there is Roadrunner Shuttle that goes there. I don t know the Ventura County Airporter s phone number, but Roadrunner is: 1-800-247-7919 Both leave from LAX and you do not have to be on an airplane to ride on them.

Go to LAX and get the Flyaway Bus to Union Station.From there take the Metrolink, Ventura County Line.

Train plane bus sub way or u can rent a car if u dont have one

train or do some research on the buses

Blackstone River waterfall? -

I remember going to this large brick building on a fairly large river (I think its the Blackstone River), and right next to the building was a really loud waterfall. Its in either Blackstone MA or Woonsocket RI. If not, definitely one of the surrounding towns but im 99% sure it was one of those two towns. Im just trying to figure out where it is on a map, and OR pictures.

I think you are thinking about Pawtucket, RI. There are a series of old brick buildings along the banks of the Blackstone River, one of which is an old hydroelectric plant that was refurbished in the early 1980s. for use as the business office for Blackstone Valley Electric Company.

I know there is one in South Grafton on the Blackstone river, another in Worcester, Uxbridge also has one, not so sure about Northbridge. There are many old mill towns on the Blackstone River, all of them have man-made waterfalls in which the energy was used to power the mills which were almost entirely made of brick
