How to Pretend You’re a Real New Yorker

Let’s say you have an upcoming trip to New York. If you’re flying overseas you obviously want to avoid jetlag, but how are you going to prevent it? I wish I knew the answer to that before traveling to the U.S. for the first time. Luckily I recently came across Howcast, where you can watch fun and high-quality how-to videos on everything from arts & media to environment, food & drink, mind & body, and travel. Howcast’s videos tell you exactly how to do something with no risk of misunderstandings.

    Loved the travelling light video, but it made me laugh when it said limit your shoes to two pairs. Is that possible for a woman? :D
