I_m gonna send a C4 sized letter to the USA and i live in Australia. I bought a few IRCs but i dont know how many to put in the letter. In order for them to respnd in the USA to Australia in a C4 sized envelope. How many IRCs do they need. Do IRCs exchange differently in different countries? How many do i need to send one to the UK?

I_m an amateur when it comes to the postal service.

it looks like you only need one according the USPS website
which I copied here

International Reply Coupons

International reply coupons (IRCs) provide foreign addressees with a prepaid means of responding to inquiries, solicitations, or other types of communications that are initiated by U.S. senders. IRCs are exchangeable for postage stamps by postal administrations in member countries of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). Each IRC is equivalent in value to the destination country��s minimum postage price for an unregistered airmail letter. The purchase price is $2.10 per coupon.

As of October 11, 2007, only international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union can be redeemed at U.S. Post Offices. The valid version of the international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union is approximately 3.75 inches by 6 inches, has a barcode on the back, and has an expiration date of December 31, 2009. This policy is for international reply coupons issued by the United States as well as for those issued by foreign postal administrations.

Most Americans don_t know what an International Reply Coupon is. Would it be something like the amount of postage?

You may get better answers by asking this question in the _AUSTRALIA_ section, or by calling your local post office and asking for the rates for international mail.

What parts of the US attracts the least overseas tourists?|198376

If a couple from Europe wanted to visit and go to a part where there would be no other tourists, where should they go? Mississippi perhaps, or Alabama?

Try South Dakota.

Mississippi or Alabama? You are reallyl aiming for the asshole of the country. I_m from the US and wouldn_t want to visit either of those states.

You could also try Kentucky or West Virginia if you want some serious red neck hill billies to mess up your holiday.

Anywhere rural without attractions will have few - if any - tourists. Note that anywhere with no tourists will also have little in the way of traveler support (few hotels _ restaurants, etc.). That would be as true of rural New York state as in Mississippi.

Helena Montana. Heck even Americans don_t want to visit there.

What train do I take from Yankee Stadium to go to World Trade Center and other places of interest?|182916

I will be in New York next week . Never been before and would love to see some of the sites.
I am going to a Yankee Game. How do I get from the stadium to the World Trade Center?
What about Central Park? The Empire State Building?

The B, D and 4 trains run from Yankee Stadium down into Manhattan, right through the middle of it. In particular, the B or D train will stop at 86th, 79th and 72nd St right next to Central Park, and at 34th St. right next to the Empire State. You will then want to switch to the A, C, E or 1, 2, 3, or N/R trains to go down to the WTC. Here_s a great Web guide to NYC that is well written and organized and will tell you how to find out anything about NYC


http://www.findingdulcinea.com/guides/Tr��

My friend, from Yankee Stadium, you can take the Manhattan-bound (southbound) _B_ or _D_ trains (Orange Line) to 59th Street. Once there you can transfer to the downtown (southbound) _A_ or _C_ trains (Blue Line) to the Chambers Street-WTC.

To go to the Empire State Building from WTC site, take the uptown (northbound) _A_, _C_ or _E_ trains (Blue Line) from Chambers Street-WTC to West 4th Street. At West 4th Street, transfer downstairs to the _B_, _D_, _F_ or _V_ trains (Orange Line). Take the uptown (northbound) train from West 4th Street to 34th Street.

When you exit the subway at 34th Street, walk east 1 block from the subway station to 5th Avenue and 34th Street.

From the Empire State Building to Central Park, well are several ways to get there by subway.

Option 1: take the Queens-bound (northbound) _F_ train (Orange Line Local) from 34th Street to 57th Street. When you get there, exit the subway and walk 2 blocks north along 6th Avenue to 59th Street.

Option 2: take the Queens-bound (northbound) _N_, _R_ or _W_ trains (Yellow Line) or the 57th Street-bound (northbound) _Q_ train (Yellow Line) from 34th Street to 57th Street. When you get there, exit the subway and walk 2 blocks north along Broadway to 59th Street.

Option 3: take the Queens-bound (northbound) _N_, _R_ or _W_ train from 34th Street to 5th Avenue.

Option 4: take the Bronx-bound (northbound) _B_ or _D_ train (Orange Line) from 34th Street to 59th Street - Columbus Circle.

or

Option 5: take the Bronx-bound (northbound) _B_ train (Orange Line) from 34th Street to any stop on the _B_ line from 59th Street to 110th Street. The _B_ train makes local stops from 59th Street to 125th Street.

I hope this information is very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I_ll be glad to help.

What are people in Seattle looking for in a roommate?|180135

And where is the best place to look? Craigs list just sends me fake people from God knows what country. Alot of places out here seem to be co-ed and that is not what I am looking for. I am out of ideas.

Then go through a roommate-placing agency instead of trying to do it for free.

And delete the dupe of this question - a bit annoying you asked it twice.

Someone hot who they can slip it in when they_re drunk together, wake up and act like nothing happened.

Check the PI/Seattle Times and Seattle Weekly and The Stranger as well to find more listings. Try the online versions of those papers which usually has more updated ads.

Walk around the University district! Plenty of places around there have signs hanging from the building saying *roommates needed, rooms available*. Even if you aren_t a student at UW, a good amount of places will take you anyways.

Better City to visit during the summer and why?|182993

I_m planning on visiting either Boston, Washington D.C. or Los Angeles during the summer. If you could choose which city to visit and why what city would you choose within the three choices. If you can list pros and cons to visiting the cities.

Nice places to visit in summer (sorry, but your list is limiting you. Visit LA in spring or fall, it is way too hot in the summer.):

1. Vancouver, BC, Canada. GREAT city. Lots of everything, and in 2010 that will include the Olympics. Mountains on one side and ocean coast on the other. A short ferry away is scenic and huge Vancouver Island. Lots of trees and incredibly pretty for a large metropolis. Best places to go: Commercial Drive, Gastown, Yaletown, Vancouver Island, lots and lots more. Just avoid the Downtown Eastside, it is where all the drugs are.
2. Chicago, IL, USA. I love Chicago. A tad expensive, but lots of great things to do. Hundreds of concerts and stuff, theatres, and Navy Pier is amazing at night and usually has shows.
3. I guess Boston. Or DC. Or Baltimore. Or all of them at once in a gigantic amazing New England Trip. There_s an idea.

Boston is nice in the summer time, in fact the rest of the year is too cold

DC is also very nice in the summer,
lots to do in both cities

never been to LA

Since I live in the Boston Area, I would chosse DC, only because I have been to Boston so many times. But you really can_t go wrong with either

DC and Boston both have lots of museums, historical sites, shopping, restaurants, and nearby beaches.

Boston is the prettiest of those cities, and has more historic sights than the others.

The main attraction in Washington is its museums.

If you want a visit that focuses on a modern city rather than on museums or history, I would go to Los Angeles, which has many interesting neighborhoods, great restaurants, music and art scenes, fashion, design, and tremendous cultural diversity. But don_t go to Los Angeles for a standard tourist vacation - there are few real _sights_ and places like Hollywood and Beverly Hills are boring tourist traps.

I would go to DC there are so many museums to see that it could take days and they are all free

What is the most inexpensive place to live in the Seattle area and surrounding cities.?|113739

I will take links or email addresses. I just need to know what THE CHEAPEST place that is less than an hour away from the University of Washington is.

I assume you mean renting? What_s your budget? _Within an hour_ gives you a pretty big area. You could go North to Everett and get a much bigger place for a lot less than in the Seattle neighbourhoods - only about $400 for a one bedroom or studio. Or you could go South to Renton or Tukwila, or East to Issaquah. Those are all 15 mins to 30 mins out of Seattle - more during rush hour.
http://www.rent.com
is a good place to look for units though if you_re looking for just a studio or renting a room in a house you_ll find those at
http://www.seattletimes.com
or
http://www.craigslist.com


If it_s just you a good option would be to find one of those houses in Wallingford, Fremont, Ballard or Queen Anne that they_ve converted to apartments. You_d get to be really close to school plus live in a cool neighbourhood and possibly be within walking distance to a lot of things. And they_re actually quite affordable. A friend of mine had a great studio in an old house in Queen Anne and only paid $700 per month. Another had a one bedroom apartment and paid $750.

If you have some specifics about what_s most important to you I can give you some more info. I moved here five years ago so really learned about the different areas and then a year after also helped a friend from FL find a place when he moved up.

west seattle is cheap, its a hole, but its cheap.
the internation district is as well.

surrounding ares north of the city 30 miles or so are as well, marysville comes to mind

South Seattle like on MLK blvd or near E. Marginal Way. The cheapest is a little farther south like Seatac and Southpark, but not as good of an area.
