Im a malaysian study in singapore and i plant to register under speedwing.
Its this a safe programme? Scared later is a scammed or what and i have difficulty coming back.haha

Yeah, it is a safe programme. I have known lots of people who went there and came back happily.
I also registered under speedwing.
Where are you planning to go?
How was your trip?
where did you go?
Mind sharing details? 

Grad you enjoyed it. Do they always overhire people?
Mind sharing your itinerary of your trip after u finish working?

You went alone or with friends?
I'm currently planning to go alone, so I'm not sure how am I going to travel after I finish working 

Hey guys, i'm joining the program too. May i ask, which agent is better? speedwing or OOTB ? And also which employer is better and can earn more?

What make Alaska the best place? Is it because of the work hour ? or the tips ? I got a sample job list and the job details from OOTB, the pay and minimum hour  is almost the same as other employer, so this make me wondering 

hey wenzhenzhen,

may i know what is your main mode of transport while you were travelling in US? i planned to travel from west coast to east coast (last destination is New York)...and visit only the big cities...but i afraid i will waste most of the time travelling on road only...

hey...im one of the participants of WAT too...will be going to Colorado...im still searching for flights to get there...anyone know if www.wego.com is reliable to book flights? because the offers from there is really cheap!

may i know where was your last destination for your trip as well? i would like to depart from New york to Kuala Lumpur so New york would be my last destination for my trip....

im taking off to US next month!!! hehe...

i dont mind taking train as i would like to stop at some cities for visiting... but is taking train costs more than taking flight? How much did you spend for the one month trip ?

Thanks a lot for you help!!!

Did you get a second job there?

but i really hope i can bring at least rm2000 or rm3000 back to malaysia for my living expenses later (i need to prepare for a room rental and job hunting in a new city as well).... i do realise its not easy to travel across big country like US ...do you know anyone who actually spent lesser during his/her trip?

Thanks again...really hope to hear more from former WAT participants to share their experiences

and one more question...im stuck at booking flights at the moment...deciding between booking directly through airline or third party (tripsta)....please advise ...?

You're referring to US federal and state tax returns right? The paperwork is not that difficult, but if you really wanted to, you can use TurboTax.

I think you'll need to wait for your tax documents from your employer. You have until April to get your tax forms in.

I recently asked my parents if Citibank in Malaysia takes a US bank cheque and they said no. So, based on that information, you'll need to go to the BoA branch to cash it

If anybody can help out it will be great.

Based on my quick survey, the cheapest/easiest way to fly to east coast USA seems to be on the middle east airlines. Any better recommendations. SQ is too expensive, MAS is flying via Heathrow, also do-able but is more expensive than qatar/emirates
