You guys are slightly into politics now. It's almost impossible not mentioning politics when talking about D.C. |

What to do in Colorado: Do: Track down the youtubers "The Creatures" and tell them that they need to upload more often Get out while you still can Don't: Stay more than 48 hours. That's when the crazies come out. Colorado is a place I would love to live in after college. Looks beautiful. |

Usa,so much democracy You get to vote 2 parties amirite It's not really. People can run as independent (which almost worked in the early 1800s) and there are different parties too, the biggest 3rd Party is the Green Party I believe. There has never been a independent as president but in the time before mentioned a independent actually got the majority of the votes but thanks to a very complex voting system and no clear winner out of 4 people someone else got president. I don't really wanna talk politics here but this is just to show that no there aren't only Democrats and Republicans |

Isn't it two? I know D.T. might (eventhough it'd be worse for him) and maybe Barney, I heard he might go. |

George Washington did run as an independent and the founding fathers wanted no parties, but it ended up happening regardless. |

I'll do all of Silicon Valley since it's really similar all over.
Do:
Visit the Computer History Museum
Try to get a tour at the Apple, Google, or Tesla buildings
Go to San Francisco for actual attractions
Don't:
Mention iPhones or Android in conversation (We fight over iOS vs Android here even worse than the internet)
Try to strike deep conversations with people you meet everyday (this is more of a general American thing)
Assume people are geeks/nerds (we are, but 99.99% of us don't realize it, the other 0.01% is yours truly)
Do anything that anyone could find even remotely offensive (people here have a way of taking it really badly and giving you hell for it)
