Society in Breckenridge

Don't believe all of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans.
Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large segment of the population.
For example, although Americans tend to be louder and more boisterous than people from other cultures (especially at athletic events),
many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite. Some people may be intolerant and xenophobic, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.
Remember that American films and television exaggerate in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather distorted picture of what
life in the United States is really like. Likewise, tourists are not always on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures.
So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are "in their face" and will try to back away.
Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances.
So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable,
but this is only momentary. Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15% of the total bill.
If service was slow or particularly bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. Likewise, if service was particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20%.
If service was so bad that you would never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. This is a deliberate insult,
because it tells the waiter that you didn't forget to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.
You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant. Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15%

You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant. Hotel bellhops expect a $1 tip for helping you with your bags. If you order room service,
the gratuity is included in the bill.

Visa for the USA
|
|
Canadians need proof of Canadian citizenship or a passport to enter the USA.
All other visitors must have a valid passport, which should be valid for at least six months longer than their intended stay in the USA.
Travelers from countries such as Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands,
New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom can enter the USA for up to 90 days under a visa-waiver program if they have a
round-trip ticket that is nonrefundable in the US, and have a passport valid for at least six months past their scheduled departure date.
All other travelers will need a visitor's visa. Visas can be obtained at most US consulate offices overseas; however, it is generally easier
to obtain a visa from an office in one's home country. The USA is regularly adjusting entry requirements in an effort to reduce the threat
of terrorism. It is imperative that travelers double- and triple-check current regulations before coming to the USA, as changes will occur for
several years. A procedure introduced in 2004 requires most visitors traveling on visas to the United States to have two
fingerprints scanned by an inkless device and a digital photograph taken by immigration officials upon entry at US air and seaports.
