Welcome to Boston, A Guide for International Newcomers, 7th Edition

Welcome to Boston is packed with handy tips and cultural interpretations about life in the US. This unique collection of up-to-date web sites, phone numbers, and lists of resources helps international newcomers manage a move to Boston. Special attention is given to the questions international newcomers have, but people moving from other parts of the US will find all their questions answered here as well. Much more than a tourist guide, this book explains the difference between Bake and Broil on your oven dial, why the bank asks for your mother's maiden name, what to do in a "half bath," and much more. Updated every year, the book gives reliable, detailed information not found in any other single resource.
