The U.S. or United States of America is one of the most powerful and wealthy nations anywhere on earth. Though Indians once populated the land, various parts of the region were colonized by European nations and their religious missionaries. Spain, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Russia all owned American territory at some point. The British colonies were the most influential of pioneers and eventually bred the 13-colony United States of America. A colonial revolution took place in the 18th century and on July 4, 1776, America declared its independence from Great Britain.
Today, America is most often characterized by its diversity, and yet, by its culturally diverse inhabitants' similarities. Indeed, there are very distinct regions of America, each unique in terms of peoples, politics and climate. Distinct areas you might hear about in America include New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, the Great Plains, The Rocky Mountains, the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and a few states with special mention for their own distinct culture: Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, California and Florida.
If you want to vacation in America, first know that seeing all of the United States in a short period of time will be nearly impossible. While you can see distinctive landmarks and important cultural points of interest, the entire United States has over 10,000 cities, towns, and villages. If you are interested in entering the United States then you will most likely require a passport and visa. However, note that not all countries require an advance visa for entry. A passport will definitely be needed however, as there is a strict process for passport inspections due to the United States' policy on immigration. The visa application can be a long and expensive process and is also unusually strict, because the Immigration and Nationality Act states that all persons requesting entry must show evidence of "binding ties" to their home country as well as evidence that the visit will only be temporary. Check with the United States State Department or your United States consulate for assistance.
The climate of the U.S. is as diverse as the population, with southern areas reporting intense heat in the summer, as well as cold winter seasons with below freezing temperatures in northern and central states, along with the possibility of severe weather. What are some of the most popular locations to visit in the U.S.?
For distinctive city experiences, both historically significant and culturally affecting, visit locations such as Washington, D.C., the national capital, as well as New York, the unofficial business capital of the states, and Los Angeles, the home of Hollywood and Tinsel Town. Other notable features include the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park and luxurious hotel and resorts, many of which offer sporting activities. Attending a professional sporting event is also a distinctive American pastime, particularly events organized by the National Football League, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association.
Traveling to the United States is an exciting experience for the whole family. Just don't forget to buy an appropriate souvenir! |
