One of the things I like about being in the US is being able to take advantage of a great sale. You can easily shop online and have items sent to you effortlessly and with ease, totally unlike shopping abroad where you need to worry about customs and duties and always end up paying more for electronics. I really appreciate being able to shop at buy.com and find great deals on things that make travel much better.

When I was abroad I kept my photobucket and flickr accounts quite active. If you don’t have a great digital camera right now, then it’s time to get one. There is a great ongoing sale at Buy.com right now where you can find some great deals.

Sports are important in schools around the world, not just in the US. Proper school sports programs have been shown to improve student health while keeping students happy.
