One important thing to know when you get here in US - everything should be done with appointment. A visit to the doctor should be with an appointment. A visit to the dentist should also be with an appointment. No walk-in visit. By the way, if you missed an appointment without a prior notice you will be billed for a certain fee. Anyways, a visit with a friend should be with an appointment. Even a party should have been made with advanced notice or appointment. Otherwise, no one will attend the party. Notice or invitation should be made 30 days prior to the intended date of the party.
Just right now a friend called inviting me to a surprise welcome party for a friend to be held today at her house. Much as I would like to be there I simply cannot for I am already in another friend's party who had invited me three weeks ago. Well, that's how it goes here.
Weekdays are for work. Weekends are for worship service, parties and things other than work. So better make an appointment as early as possible. 
Speaking of appointment, I have a busy schedule next weekend. There are a lot of halloween parties and birthday invitations for my family. My problem is how would we be able to attend all of it so as not to disappoint each of them. Well, maybe we will just make short our stay in one party to accommodate all of them in our schedule.
