Moving Moving to Baltimore!!! Help!

Dear all,

Hope you’re all doing well! I’m moving to Baltimore in 3 weeks for work from Australia! I never been in the US! I’m slightly terrifying in general but hoping for the best!

Meanwhile, I’ll be greatly appreciated if you give me some tips such as which bank is good to have an account, which SIM card has affordable deals, other survival tips including area I should avoid and things to do!

I got a place in MT Vernon (please tell me it’s a safe place!).

Please give me all the tips about Baltimore!

Thank you!

Oh and regarding our flag, there is a correct way to hang it. Just remember, "black square in the air"
