Go To Other Cities
Here is a good trick to go to other cities. First, go to the market and hijack the subway train. Then hold the square button. You will notice that when the train goes too fast it will start to rumble and eventually collapse. To avoaid this lightly tap the X button. Once you go far enough you will see the road block (blocking you from getting into the other city) on the bridge. Well, since you are going so fast you will just go right through it. This is a lot of fun and I use it a lot just to get a glimpse of the other citys. The only problem with this is that as soon as you get to the other cities your wanted level permantly stays on the highestit can, even if you use the wanted level cheat.

Location Of AT-400 (747)
In Las Venturas Airport there is a very large, lone hanger at one end of the main runway. If you walk up to it it opens top to bottem. At certian times of the day an AT-400 will spawn inside this hanger. Its difficult getting it out undamaged, but you can reach max height with it, plus you fly so high that flying over area-69 wont get you a wanted level. A must have for the skydiver.

Hunger Pains
In GTASA you have a new problem. You have to EAT!!! Just go to the nearest resturant and spend some mu-lah in exchange for food. Your health will go down if you don't. If you eat to much you will get fat and if you rarely eat at all you will be skinny. It would be best to be in the middle.
