Many American females found here. The beach is extremely large, and North Europeans may find it rather lonely what with everyone spread out over such a huge area. No rocks--it's all sand and dangerously large waves. The natives like to crash into the beach by riding the waves. It's all very humorous. FOOD AND BEVERAGES The southern part of America is noted for its excellent cuisine. In addition to the American dishes that everyone has heard about such as hot dogs and big juicy Texas steaks everyone will want to try a Virginia specialty, the peanut. For uniquely American dishes, try the establishment Shoney's. The recommended dish here is the Big Boy, a conglomeration of practically every known food substance all rolled up into one medium sized roll. For higher class surroundings try Howard Johnsons where variety in ice cream has gotten out of hand. Surprisingly enough, plumbing facilities in most restaurants and gas stations are very elaborate. Coffee and milk take some getting use to but in time you will get to enjoy these native drinks. CURRENCY The American dollar system is used predominately in Norfolk. The Americans are very explicit in their refusal to accept Francs, Marks, and Krona. Don't ask any of the sailors that you are likely to encounter to help exchange your money, since they too are tourists. SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE Most North Europeans will find it difficult to get accustomed to the language in Norfolk. Here are a few commonly used terms that may prove useful: wall--similar to a bulkhead but constructed of plaster. Limited to shore use. ceiling--the landlubber's term for overhead. floor--a wooden or stone deck. Pardon me sir--hey joe. you all--difficult to determine who is being addressed, usually all present. It must be stressed that the language is radically different in relation to the section of the country you might happen to be in. ONE LAST WORD OF WARNING It is anticipated that a large throng of inhabitants will be on the pier when BEATTY berths. Many of these people may claim to be relatives--even wives and children. It must be remembered that similar ruses have been used in other ports where the sailors money was eagerly sought. It is recommended that these individuals be completely ignored, since any encouragement will only arouse them to further schemes.
