1) EVERYONE expects a tip… Just for doing their job
2) nothing is free, even free things
3) ice in hotels is free
4) do not piss in public
5) it’s scary driving on the other side of the road (with stan)
6) every 2nd tv ad offers loans for people with bad credit
7) every other ad offers debt relief services 8) there are 6 food groups, all of which appear to be a fast food outlet
9) the strength of a hangover is directly proportional to the amount of time being spent on a bus or plane the following day
10) it is a massive walk from pier 39 to the golden gate bridge and back
11) subway sells pizza
12) dominos sells subs
13) beeping your horn in ny will get you a $350 fine. No one cares

    Dude, please tell me you had NYC pizza!

    Those massive dripping slices of cheese and pepperoni, I’m tempted to go back just for that :)
