5) they have the BEST theme parks

For movie buffs it’s all about Universal Studios, Hollywood. You get to tour an actual live working set and might even bump into a celebrity (autograph books ready). For coaster loving adrenaline junkies, check out one of the Six Flags theme parks, which spring up all over the US and are home to a number of record setting rollercoasters.

6) they have sports we don’t.. Baseball

It’s fun to go to a ball game! Although they can sometimes last 4 hours, the frequent mexican wave, plastic tumbler beer and hotdogs will keep you entertained. Our equivalent is heading to the cricket…but we know which one we’d rather be at!
