Movies: Watching movies is still very popular in every country and in America you will see that there is a cinema in every town.
Parks: There are many free events in parks which are organised by recreating departments. These events are usually free and held at the local parks. This is another way of getting to know the community and even meeting other expats who are living in the same city. There are also parks which have playgrounds where children can be taken and some where sports activities/ groups are playing football and other activities which you could join.
Sports activities: Sports activities in the US include American football, baseball and Americans favourite sport Basketball. Soccer, golf and hockey are also very popular sports played. Expats will have opportunities to join/play with men and women’s teams playing as a league or locally.
Music: Music is very dominant in the American culture. Larger cities will have bands touring in the US and your music will be well catered for.

Church activities: Many Americans go to the church and attends the regular Sunday services. Many people’s social lives include other church activities, such as youth groups, charity work and religious retreats.
