CutiePie,
I lived in Texas last year, and it was absolutely incredible. As a fellow Canadian, I could give you my "northern" perspective. I lived in San Antonio, and had a great time. I did visit Austin, Dallas and Houston, and liked them in that order. Austin is a fantastic city, its on the smaller side (which is actually good, us Canadians are not always familiar with huge American megacities), but has a great nightlife and really friendly people. Dallas is really great too, but its sooooooo big. And I know I'm going to upset some people on this thread for saying this, but I didn't get the best impression of Houston. I found it to be very racially divided, I thought it had a lot of snobs, the whole city seemed consumed by money and buisness, and that's just not my scene. Oh, and another thing, was driving around Houston, i couldn't help but wonder if it would kill them to plant a tree in the city, there's no greenery whatsoever, which would definately take some getting used to for a Canadian. BUT, on the upside, I've heard there's lots of career opps in Houston.
Oh, and Texas gets HOT in the summer. I know that Texans have posted that as well, but as a Canadian, I don't think I had any concept of heat until I moved to Texas, it can get to be 35-40 degress Celcius in the summer. Oh, and a funny thing that happened was that my final exams in December were postponed, because, get this, the temperature dipped down to zero degrees and people were afraid to drive in the cold . . . .
And, of course, I must say something about the men in Texas. Texans are always so charming and such gentlemen. Very, very cute, lots of variety, and always very, very polite. Sounds very corny, but they know how to raise their boys to become gentlemen in the South. They need to work on this in Vancouver . . .
