going to the usa, page-11

Hi cfdsRus - this is an excellent opportunity if you can find/make time to "kick a few tires*."
* Tires is USA'an for "Bridgestones" here in OZ!

In addition to the previous suggestions I would also suggest telling the company here and asking for a letter of introduction, this may well be very helpful while at the Denver office and potentially out in the field.

Most importantly I would suggest taking plenty of cheap Aussie souvanirs, Koala Key Rings, Kangaroo Lapel Pins, Boomarangs, Sydney Harbour Bridge Tea Towels etc.

The Septics love that stuff generally and especially those you are likely to encounter in the "bush", they will be very receptive IMO! (Worked wonders for me when travelling recently - made firm friends and drinking buddies almost immediately!!!)

Will/can you be on line whilst away?

Have a great trip - we look forward to your travelogs!

Cheers

Cabe
