West or East? California, Nevada or Massachusetts, New York, Washington? I decided to compare two opposite parts of the USA. The atmosphere in California is incredible. People are a bit laid-back, but at the same time, it seemed to me that they spend their days productively. The weather is hot during the day, but it gets cool by the evening. A huge ocean, but literally three hours away there is a hot desert. This year, at the end of our trip, we had a great vacation. We rented a car for 10 days and visited almost all the interesting sights of LA, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. In Los Angeles, we walked along the Walk of Fame, climbed a huge mountain to the famous "Hollywood" sign, and every evening we visited the Russian hookah lounge "Hookah place" @hookahplace_la - by the way, the guys working there are very cool. They have locations in St. Petersburg too. We went to the Museum of Death - the museum is very creative, but it turned out that everything here is too explicit. It demonstrates in photographs all real cases of death, from suicide to car accidents, what they do with corpses, and so on.

But the "Madame Tussauds Museum" is, on the contrary, very positive. The figures of Hollywood stars are made quite realistically. Around them are spotlights, bright colored lights, and music - it feels like you are really at a party with celebrities. By the way, it takes 33 days to make one such figure! We also went up to the Griffith Observatory. It offers a stunning view, especially at night. We rode extreme roller coasters at Six Flags. On the opposite coast of the USA, which we visited last year, everything is a bit different. Even the language is slightly different - for example, in California they always say "piece of pizza", and in the East "slice of pizza". New York is a giant metropolis. It is the king of marketing and advertising. These are huge skyscrapers and crowds of rushing people. There are also insanely many interesting places here and, of course, it is a must-visit. But you probably won't be able to drive a car, as you can spend half the trip in traffic jams. Boston is a little smaller than New York, but we loved it so much!! It is a true student city with impressive universities. In general, guys, you must visit America.
