Dear SG-Community

In Mid-February I said goodbye to SG (and especially to my favourite groups) because I went on a trip through the USA (East-Coast) and Canada (Toronto). Now I'm back (actually been back for nearly three weeks) and wanted to make a little comeback-celebration with a comeback-train. At the same time I'll soon start with a new job, which is another very good reason to make a train. (Some may remember my train last year, where I mentioned having a job interview. I didn't get that job, but I got another one where I'll start this summer.)

But the main reason for this train is, that I had a wonderful trip and that I want to make a nice comeback here at SG. And because my trip is the main reason for this train, I added a observation-fact to every wagon for you. As a European a lot of things in the US are pretty special and different. Some are funny, some are surprising and some even frightening. So I hope my observations and experiences are entertaining to you.

The train itself has the following properties:

  • To gain entry to the train you have to answer some itstoohard-questions about some of the destinations of our trip. But no worry, the questions shouldn't be too hard and solvable for all, if not by knowledge, then surely with help of google. Attention: For users in the groups "Positive Thoughts" and "Y-utopia": You get a exclusive direct access to the train (without the questions) through the link in our forum.
  • The train has wagons from Level 0 up to Level 6
  • For every level there should be at least one unbundled game
  • The train runs until Sunday 15th of may.
  • At the end of the train - so to say the locomotive - waits the most american game ever. (I think that's a must have on a US-trip-celebration-train ;) .) This GA is open for Lvl 2+, so even if you can't enter the wagons from lvl 3 through 6 it's still worth to go to the end. For users with lvl 6+ there is a bonus chance for the locomotive and also for all users (lvl0+) of the groups "Positive Thoughts" and "Y-utopia" and for my Whitelist.

Entry rules: No unactivated games, no multiple wins, no VAC banning history.

So, the train is ready, go to the platform and everybody on board: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/9FGmrfl2

Additonally there is a little (unbundled) Bonus-GA (lvl0+) that you can access by answering some questions about my observation-facts here: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/YpXdQs3z
(The same entry rules apply here as well.)

As always, please don't post any links or answers anywhere. If you have trouble with one of the questions, please ask here. If I realise that something is all too hard, I will help.

Have fun and a big Thanks to all the great and generous users in this community. It's nice to be back! :)

Thanks for your impressions on the USA. I'm not quite sure I really checked which games are in the train :D

I cant answer "My favourite restaurant in the USA". I know the answer, tried a lot of variations but still none of them is the correct one :(

Make sure you don't make the same mistake as I did and write the name wrong. There are two valid solutions one with only two words and one with the full 5-words name.
Tell me if that helped you!

I wish I was commiting that kind of mistake.. It just turns out I was writing the last letter of the name twice.. English is not my mother language, I was tired yesterday while reading the trip insights (very intersting by the way), and I somehow processed it wrong, I could have just copypasted it but my brain was not working properly.
Solved already, thanksa lot, for the huge train and for the enterteining reading.

how was your trip? I'm planning to to go USA soon but I'm not sure where to go. I'd like to do a backpaking to know the maximum that I can spending the minimum possible... somehow, everytime that I plan to do it on USA, I end up thinking that this is not possible (like it was once in europe)... edit: thanks for lots of gibs!

The trip was really, really great. We enjoyed it a lot.
Well I can't give you any tips about backpack traveling for the US. Except: If you want to stay in Motels: Use the coupon books and online booking services. Walk-ins without reservation normaly are much more expensive.

Isn't that always the way it works?
Friends of mine were from Paraguay and studied in Switzerland. They've seen a lot of places (like lake Geneva or the Matterhorn) I've never seen...

Your observations are pretty hilarious, especially since they were so true.
Well all except the texting and driving thing - agreed it is easy to common here.
