How do I get around in a new town? -

I m almost 18 and I m going to be going to Dartmouth in New Hampshire.How do I get around in a city I know nothing about?Help me.Also after college I ll be moving to Forks with several other friends.We like small town life.

Just get used to the area in which you will be living first, then when you start getting familiar you will be able to find your way around town before you know it, Good luck in Dartmonth.Have a nice day ?

I sort of knew the area when I moved here, but I relied a lot on studying mapquest.com. Get to know the main thoroughfares and crossroads. Like if you want pizza delivered and they ask, you can say you re on 10th between Main and Laurel, for instance. I used to mapquest garage sale or business addresses just to see where the streets were. Don t worry, you ll pick up on it in no time.

Believe me..................Once you are there it will only be a short time before you know the area as well as your home town. You will have lots of help !!!!

Should i move to new york? -

Im 18 and currently live in Brisbane, Australia, which, for those of you who don t know is a fairly spread out and relaxed city on the Queensland Coast. I have just finished my last year of school and would like to move to a city where a bit more happens socially and culturally. I have never been to New York but am considering looking at moving there based on what i have heard so far: so i would like to know the pros and cons of living there (i would most likely looking at living in manhattan). The other option i was considering was moving to Melbourne, again any thoughts and advice or comparisons would be greatly appreciated.

What would you do for money? You can t work here legally, unless you get a work visa, which is highly unlikely for an uneducated 18 year old. I suggest that you stay in Australia till you have a marketable skill that might lead to a visa here in the U.S.

You will be neither mugged, carjacked nor murdered. This is one of the safest large cities in America. Nonetheless, it is also the city where housing is least affordable, so visit first, then make up your mind. You can subscribe to realtor.com to get an idea of what housing costs here. The unit size appropriate for a single man is Studio or 1 bedroom. Manhattan is out of the question unless you come from wealth because even outer borough apartments start at $1000/month. (American dollars)

Your best choice is to visit there or go to school there first. My son went to NYU, and when he graduated in Film and Television Production. I asked him if he wanted to stay there. He said New York is a wonderful place under two conditions: If you are a student, or if you are rich. Judging from your age, I would recommend looking at schools in New York. The fact that you are exotic will be in your favor with an admissions committee.

If you like the city life yes, but, i live in North Colonie, a town near albany new youk(wich is more economically stable and better looking than albany) If you want a quiet neighborhood with a peaceful neighborhood, i would suggest colonie (North Colonie that is)

New York City is a great city to live in if you are rich. There is theater, great shopping, and exciting nightlife. Real estate is extremely expensive, so don t expect to live in any place decent without a lot of money. Traffic and crime are terrible.

Nah fuc k it! Move to America, you only live once, you may as well get out there and experience as much as you can. If i had the money i would move to Whistler in Canada in a heart beat.

i think New York is a great option.You can go there for a month,or spend the summer there to see if you like it then you can move if u want:)good luck

if you want to get mugged, carjacked and murdered yes you should.

I d suggest moving to Melbourne. It is hard moving at 18 years old. I d suggest only moving to New York if you plan on living on dorm at a university. At least you can get a student loan and get home in the summer. I don t quite know what your situation is at home or with college aspirations though. Unless you come from money, Manhattan isn t the option. New York is cool, but it isn t as made out to be as it is. It basically is America s cultural capital. But what ever culture it is we have in our country is about as dry as your outback. We re not a very sophisticated people whom most lack basic intellect and have no ambition of acquiring it. I say move to a city like Paris. Or Tokyo. Try a new type of culture that you can learn something from. Or if you stay in the Anglosphere, London is a nice option. These are all very expensive cities though.Since you re 18, go for Paris. Why? Need I say? It ll be a lot harder getting women in New York. There are a few reasons why. One, just like all of America, we tend to have high obesity rates and NYC is no exclusion. You re talking about 35-40% of women and than another 30% who are 15-30 pounds over weight. Go to Paris or Rome and the first thing you ll notice is that is a lot less. I don t know if it is something about cultures with English heritage being a little overweight because while we are into looks, we just don t take the work to maintain it like Latin cultures like French, Italians or Spanish. You re young. Enjoy yourself. At least go to a city in America where there are lots of hotties like Miami or Honolulu. New York City is full of women who are in a rush and are so picky they d prefer hanging out with their gay male friends than dating straight men.

i live in new york and if you live in australia and move here you will be in for a wake up call. right now its 30 but it gets wayy colder actually it can get up to 60 degrees colder. (-30) and the summers can get hot too. we got 101 once but im sure your used to that.and also it all depends on where in ny you want to live. you def dont want to move to nyc the rents are really high there and you can barly make it down the sidewalk without squeezing through tons of shoppers. dont get me wrong its great for weekend shoping trips but not for livingcentral ny is more suburban exsept in the city of syracuse. it can get crazy thereup state gets alot of lake effect snow in the winter (central square area)and last would be the area around elmira its more country-ish. so thats what ny looks like and feels like. so do you want to move here? idk i wish i could move.

Anyone been to a Detroit Red Wings game? -

I live in Ontario, Canada and HATE the Leafs. My team is from the West, the Vancouver Canucks. Anyway, my husband bought us hockey tickets to the Detroit Red Wings vs. Vancouver Canucks game for March 3, 2010 as a birthday present for me, but he s now telling me that his work friends (who just went to the Detroit vs. Anaheim game this weekend) are saying it s not such a great idea to cheer on Vancouver while I m there, or to wear a jersey, or even acknowledge that I m a fan of anyone but the Detroit Red Wings, otherwise I m going to get threats, or beaten up, sworn at, or shot.Anyone know if Detroit fans are really as violent as my husband s friends are making them out to be, do they really act like that towards fans of the visiting team, or will it be okay to cheer on my team?

You will have no problems cheering on the canucks or wearing a jersey. Redwing fans are the best no matter who you are cheering for. Been to many games and have sat by people with other team jerseys and never hear or see a problem.

NOOOO, that information is way off. Youll be fine- go ahead and wear your jersey and root on for your team. Thats only true if you open your mouth and try to talk trash about the wings- then youll have some drunk fans get a bit hostile which is unfortunate, but dont worry about it (especially with your husband there- they dont usually bother the ladies in any case). My buddy went wearing an Avs jersey (there huge rival) and didnt have any issues. Enjoy, and GO WINGS!!

The things his friends said are entirely untrue. Wear your jersey, paint your face, get excited! Nobody likes a heckler, but don t be ashamed to root for your team. People in Detroit are very friendly, and although loyal, aren t going to start a fight with you because you aren t from the area. Red Wings games are a great time. Don t worry about it for a second!

Lol. Wow. About the most violence you would come across wearing an opposing teams jersey is about what you would expect out of the same at your teams home games. You ll be fine. About the only thing you might get is some nasty comments or a evil glare or two from of the drunks. Go ahead and cheer on your team. Be warned, Wings are pretty awesome. lol

I think you will find most Red Wing fans are TRUE hockey fans and will not give you a hard time.Come down and cheer your team (but don t be disrespectful of the Wings!) and you will have a great time.While your here, stay in one of the downtown hotels and spend a lot of money! Our economy needs all the help it can get!

Oh my god. That s crap. The games are really fun, and Detroit is not like that. If you cheer on your home town Red Wings fan might BOO you, but nothing violent. The games are so much fun!

If anybody gives you any grief about the Canucks jersey, tell them to TRY to take it off of you. But check the teams standings first. If the playoff race is tight by then, look out.

lololol no, no at all. If you talk **** about the Wings the whole game, you or your husband might end up catching a beer or two by the end of the night lol.

that is the dunbest thing ive ever heard. your husbands friends are ignorant. maybe they get threatened because they act like idiots.

Not true, at all! You will be fine. Cheer for your team.Go Wings! :-)

I was in a sports bar in Chicago the night of a Redwings/Blackhawks game, and I was wearing a Wings jersey. Someone told me that it might not be such a good idea to wear that jersey in a Chicago bar when the Chicago team was playing. It was just a good-natured ribbing, and just as good-naturedly, I responded that I d like to see anyone try to take it off me. Nobody really meant anything serious by it, and we all enjoyed the game while we were drinking, me cheering for Detroit while several others cheered for Chicago. (And even some of the Chicago people cheering for the Wings.)Wings fans in Detroit are loyal and vocal, and you might get teased about cheering for the visiting team, but hockey fans are HOCKEY fans, regardless of team. Nobody in Detroit is going to threaten you about supporting your team, and for damned sure won t be beating you up for it.ENJOY the game, don t just sit in silence.(At least WIngs fans don t riot and tear up the streets when the Wings win the Stanley Cup, not like baseball fans when Detroit wins a rare World Series.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i been to a redwings game nothing like that happens when i went there was a kid there from another state he was there for the basketball finals he decided to go to a wings game he got picked on but nothing mean. he was joking around to. that is all bull sh** i am so sick of people thinking people are like that in detroit. I live on the west side of the state. my son goes to redwing games alone and nothing has happened to him. ever major city has crime its not just in detroit, my best friend went to Boise Idaho and she got megged in daylight in a store parking lot. tell them to get their heads out of their A**** s we are not like that. there were people getting exited with the other team scored a goal nothing happened to them
