Now, my cousin has come from India for a project and it brings back my thoughts. Usually, over the years I have met many Indians who come here unprepared - specially those who come through the Indian companies. I thought I would give them some tips at one place for which they would have to search for all over the place: 1. Research Your Destination: Usually when you land in the US, you will be holed up in a motel or hotel and often without a car or a public transport option. At that time, you may not even have access to the internet. So smart thing is to research your destination well before you come. You could use Yahoo Maps or Map24 or Google Maps to see which restaurants are in the vicinity. Most of the times, Pizza places (Pizzerias) and Chinese restaurants will do delivery. Note down the phone numbers and if possible their menu items that you would like to order (including the number of item on the menu).","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=j*32PSSQ29M&amp;bids=121997.10000036&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0"}
