Been here a week now.Just out of st Louis.Loving it. a few thoughts
1.As others have mentioned,clothes shopping is so ridiculously cheap over here.Its makes me angry how much we pay in Australia,If you go to the outlet stores you pick up designer label clothing up to 75% off the price. Im picking up nike, adidas,under amour etc t-shirts for $8....designer shirts from $14.. There are heaps of shoe deals, Buy 1 get the 2nd half price, so you end up with 2 pairs of good shoes for $65
I'm already considering just coming back in 2-3 years just to buy clothes
2.alcohol is even cheaper,I would be a fulltime drunk if i lived here. went to a party the other day and ended up getting blind on moonshine
3. Food is bum,but the range is huge,if you want to eat healthy you just have to look through the menu a bit. Buffalo wings is awesome, wall to wall sport, you can get a control pad and play poker against your mates or other tables on big screens whilst you watch NBA or whatevers on, A great way to meet chicks too. Decent food and a good range of beer
4. Interstates are have a road trip to Tulsa tomorrow(will checkout a Indian casino) then to oklahoma city the next day to see the Thunder - lakers game 2 .Tickets were very easy to get, as others have recommended stubhub is fantastic
5. People are so nice. i don't think there are many Australians here in the mid-west. I have managed to bring taco-bell and subway to a halt just by talking whilst people stared at me
6. Wal-mart(or wallys world they call it here) is full of freaks
