I lived and worked in the States for 9 years. Not so much in ND, but a lot of the time was in small towns. Practise and theory will be the same.
I was much younger and BP didn't even exist. The local bar was a wealth of young ladies. When they find out you are from Canada or any where else for that matter, you had it made. Always play safe and you have to have eyes in the back of your head watching out for the local boys. It helped that I had some US boys on the team who were not local either, we had to watch each other's backs. We tried not to wear out our welcome.

but I don't know if you can access it locally. Beware of the usual pit falls and fakes. I don't know which review site are reputable.
