>>6211555Empty quarter (east of the west coast but west of TX and the midwest) would be most similar to australia so stay north there if you don't just want more deserts.
with regards to cultural differences just watch put for saying things that are insulting like that. Northerners and westcoasters tend to curse up a storm but us dixie folk tend to be a bit more mild so we look down on it.
us is still bigger than australia so know for certain where you're going. I'd trust an aussie to understand the dangers involved with driving massive distances though.
otherwise I can't think of anything desu. When you come here try some real genuine bbq in one of the southern states because it's mana desu
