Maybe I'll even +push myself down in FloridaState to go see the SpaceShuttle! + +I could use a GPS. I've seen a few TomTom's, but $299 seems way too +much to me for a talking map. Maybe I'll buy a traditional map for +$10. + +Ah, and I will sleep frugally, of course. Hostels and motels when I find +them. So, over the next few days I'll be lucky if I have intermittent +Internet access and, consequently, I won't probably be able to sync the +BrainDump. + + === Thu, 10th === -==== Business Visa? ==== + '''Babbo''': Ma fino ad oggi con quali danari hai vissuto dato che sei partito con 10€ liquidi? + + '''Bernie''': Ho prelevato i soldi dall'ATM... con il bancomat delle poste!

It's a SaturnIon, a brand and model I never heard +of before. + +I felt very comfortable driving all over Europe: Italy, Swiss, Spain, France, +Germany, Belgium, and even Greece... But, for some reason, I was quite afraid +of driving a car here in the States. + +Maybe it's because the road signs are somewhat different and there are a few +subtly different rules, such as turning right on red, not parking in front +of hydrants, etc. Most probably, it's because I've seen way too many movies +where people get stopped by police and thrown in jail quite easily! + +Well, so far everything went very well. I mean, except for parking. Parking +in downtown is easy if you're willing to pay $10-12 for a few hours. +It's a big pain in the ass otherwise... The best way I've found so far +is to park near a minor T station and then get the T to downtown :-( + +And, of course, the car has AutomaticTransmission, which I managed to learn +quickly: the trouble comes when you switch the other way around ;-) + +Ok, today I've driven all around Boston just to get used to it. Tomorrow +I'll probably dare getting on the highway to see around. + + +==== Business Visa? ==== Today I've re-read detailed information on the available US visa options: -- 2.25.1
