So I’m in Houston until Sunday for my cousin’s graduation. Here are a few observations:
- It’s pretty hot right during the day, about 90 degrees (though it feels like 100). It’s only May, I wonder what it’ll be like in July and August.
- There are definitely more restaurants than anything thing else here. Its no wonder, the city is one of the fattest in the country (Chicago is in the top 5 as well).
- At the same time, the food is amazing here. I can’t complain. This is definitely a place you never have to worry about starving.
- There are many overweight people. :X
- There’s construction everywhere, either for new restaurants, new condos, new businesses, etc. The city is growing more now than it has in the past few years.
- Speaking of growth, the Chinese or Asian community here has had a boom within the last year. There’s a street that goes for miles with various Asian restaurants and shops.
- I haven’t seen anyone carrying a gun or wearing a cowboy hat yet. There are however, many people who say “y’all.”
- Joel Olsteen’s church is massive. MASSIVE. It’s the old Compaq center (the place where the Houston Rockets used to play).
That’s it for now. I may or may not add more things later.
