ReplyDeleteWonderful City
ReplyDeleteHouston is one of the more interesting cities in the United State. It is in the growth of people, building and, factories which are good think because they offer a good job. I have been here in Houston for 6 months. In my opinion, Houston’s problem is a local transport for example busses and trains. If your car doesn’t work you mean you can’t reach your job. However, Houston is a perfect place to live.It has huge shopping malls, good traffics condition, beautiful beach on the gulf of Mexico named by Galveston and, it is an inexpensive city comparing with other cities in the US. I think Houston is the best place to live ever because it has had what in your opinion from beaches, parks, lakes, towers, and, many things in your mind. Finally, I love this city I think I well complete my whole life in Houston. In short, Houston that located in Texas state is a wonderful city to live in it.
Do you live in Houston alone or your family?
DeleteYour sound is good bro,It makes me just want to stay here do not want to move anywhere else,anyway I agree 100% with you,Houston is a very nice city,,, I love it a lot !!!
DeleteYes, Houston is a huge city to live. If you have a chance to visit in West Texas, it is very nice place to go I recommend you. It had much activity to do and had a good view. At night you can see a million of the star.
DeleteI moved from my hometown, Vietnam to one of the small country in the world. I consider Houston to be my second hometown. I chose to come here for it's many accessibilities to my life right now. There are lots of opportunities here.In Houston, we get the opportunity to do different things like swim in our swimsuits at the beach, ride bikes in the parks, and even wear cute winter clothes and boots as the seasons change. Another reason for my decision to relocate here is my family. Most of my family members came here eleven years before I did. I began missing them and wanted a chance to experience some of the things they would share with me over the phone. Since we are all very close I could not stay for another minute longer. We get together all the time to enjoy all of what the city has to offer.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is different from Vietnam. Back home it is a lot warmer. My first time going out into the cold was a joy. Sitting around a fire and drinking hot cocoa or tea is not something we did back home to keep warm. The trees were even a site to see as the leaves changed colors. I am still happy about my decision to move to this amazing city. I get the opportunity to try and see new things, While being with my family, and enjoying the weather all at the same time. This is a place that I can share with much more back in Vietnam.
I like Houston weather too!!!.Is it true that the largest population of Vietnamese in United States live in Houston?
DeleteLet me know if you have one day off,We can drive a car to go somewhere and enjoy the weather Ok lovely friens ??? by the way I love your idea !!!
DeleteYou were separated from your family for 11 years, weren't you? I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're with your family now.
DeleteI like your history so much. And I believe you will successful in Houston. Good luck to you!!!
DeleteNo matter where you are and how hard life there, you will overcome difficulty with your family by your side. Honestly, I'm jealous of you
DeleteHouston is a great and singular city to live.Before I came to U.S.A, I knew my new life was going to be in Houston, so I figured people with boots, hats, and jeans like cowboys in the movies.When I came one year ago, my point of view changed, I was shocking for the large size of this town and its big streets.For example, the first time that I saw the downtown, I felt excited because the buildings are tall and very modern with bright signs everywhere; the roads are always full of hundreds of cars, and almost nobody walks on the streets. Houston is not a touristic place unlike other cities such as Miami, New York or San Antonio, for that reason, it doesn't have a lot of beautiful locations, although, hard workers and students can find entertainment and relax areas in everywhere.The people are very friendly, and if you go to any mall or common area, you can see people from Asia, Africa, Latin America and even from the Middle East.The food and restaurant are Tex-Mex, Grill, and BBQ.At first, it was difficult to me get used to eating spicy food and cinnamon in almost all the desserts, but with the course of the time, I've adapted.In conclusion, Houston has a perfect contrast between nature and urbanity, antiquity and modernity, and Americans and foreigners.
ReplyDeleteDo you decide to stay in Houston or move to live in anther city in the United State?
DeleteI think that Houston is an amazing city for three reasons. First, there are many people that they speak Spanish, so it’s good because when Hispanic people arrived here, it is not very difficult to communicate with other people. For instance, in many markets, shop, restaurant work people that they speak Spanish. Second, this city has a lot of jobs opportunities because It is growing every day, there are many construction work, and factories. Also, many driver trucks have big opportunities because here move too much freight to another state from Mexico. Finally, Galveston beach is another important thing that Houston has. It is a wonderful place with many touristic attractions such as the beach, luxury hotels, Water Park and Moody Garden. In sum, I feel very happy to live in Houston.
ReplyDeleteI understand that there are many people speaking Spanish here in Houston. I believe you came here to study English, so just try your best to avoid speaking Spanish. I agree the city has so many great opportunities. You are happy to live here.
DeleteHouston is one of the biggest city in the US, and it's also known as an international city. I want to share my opinion with you about life in Houston. Many people say that Houston's weather is crazy. I couldn't agree more, but I get used to it. The winter was unusual this year. I couldn't feel the winter coming like in the last two years. There is also a lot of rain, and when it rains, flooding is unpreventable. Unlike other big cities in the America, Houston is a city where the cost of living is at an average rate. I am lucky because I live here. About the traffic, it is extremely terrible. Roads are not too bad, but they aren't enough for a city like Houston. The transportation system is suck. There aren't enough buses, and the time between those buses is inappropriate. Houston is a city of opportunities and chances to be successful. Overall, I like to live in Houston, but I feel lonely. If I have a chance, I will choose to live with my family. It will not matter whether we live in Vietnam or Houston. The fact is that I'm living here now, so I guess I will have to ger used to it. Hopefully, this city will become my second hometown soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in transportation.The buses is terrible so, every one must have a car!!!!
DeleteThang! you read my mind. Back to last year, I had to ride buses to school. It took about 2 and half hours from downtown to north Houston by bus. In summer time. I had to waited for the buses in the hot weather. OMG
DeleteHouston is the second city in the USA that I lived. When my family and I left Vietnam to the USA, we lived in California about four months. And then, we moved to Houston. When my parents decided to move to Houston, I felt bad. I didn’t want to leave my uncles and my cousins, and the most important thing is how that city. I didn’t know anything about it. But everything changed in mine when I came to Houston about two weeks later that. There are several reasons that I like this city. First, Houston is affordable access to an excellent quality of life without the high price tag. Houston is a great deal. Second, Education at Houston is best. Houston is a top education destination. There are a lot of students were enrolled in higher learning in Houston, and many degrees were awarded. Thirst, It’s housing. Housing is diverse and affordable real estate. Besides, I don’t like Houston’s weather. It is not as good as California. In winter, Houston’s weather is sometimes temperatures of 32ºF or less. In summer, maybe the highest temperature is 110ºF. In general, Houston is the most diverse city in the nation with a great mix of people, culture, and industries. I believe Houston is my opportunity, and anything will be possible in Houston.
ReplyDeleteHouston is a beautiful place to live despite the weather! I've visited others cities in the U.S.A and I prefer Houston. So far I've had good experiences in this city, so I must say that Houstonians are really nice people. Another reason which I like Houston is that every year is growing and improving as a city, rigth now, Houston is the third large city in the U.S.A, that means, that here there are a lot of opportunities in order to develop as a professional and to reach one of my goals which is getting a good job. On the other hand, here you can find people from the whole world, so it's a cosmopolitan city and you can meet people from your own country and also people from Vietnam, Angola, Germany etc.. I really like to know new cultures, because it is intersting get to know how different we are even though we are in the same city. In sum, Houston is a really nice place to live, because there are nice people. Also, you will find many job opportunities and you will get to know people from many parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteI think Houston is nice because is development and, the weather is beautiful . In summer it's very hot and humidity is something bother you but, you can survive. The people are polite and respect the line markets,movie theatre ,or parkings is very different to California . I like Houston because I can see, of quality of Doctors working here and , this reason because the patients all raund the work came here
ReplyDeleteLiving and studying in Houston, I have experienced many challenges. There have been new things that I like and dislike. The first thing I like about life here is the price such as tuition fee, food, cars, housing and so on. It is cheaper in Houston than in some other states. The second thing is there are many Vietnamese markets and restaurants in this city, which make me less homesick. However, the rush life in Houston is one of the things I do not like. People seems not to have time for family and friends. They have to find the time or arrange to have dinner or just hang out. Besides, the weather here is driving me crazy. Like a roller coaster, the temperature goes up some days and down the other days. That make me feel sick all the time. In sum, I am adapting to the new life in Houston no matter what I like or dislike.
ReplyDeleteI do not like Houston's rains
DeleteHouston is one of greatest cities in United States. It's huge and active city. Houston is a great place to live for several reasons, First of all, It's inexpensive city. So the prices like rent, food, and clothes are fairly reasonable. Second thing is easy to get a job in Houston, so every one has chance to get a job opportunity here. In addition , Houston is multi-ethnicity. So each one can see various origins, languages, nationalities, and colors live together. Also, Houston contains amazing places to spend fun time. For example, parks, lakes, beach, green space, restaurants,and museums.As well as, the other reason is availability of public transportation. So It's extremely important thing for those who don't have privet car. In conclusion, Although Houston has a crazy weather where you can see four seasons in one day. However , It's my favorite city to live.
ReplyDeleteAmazing city, Houston Texas for me is a perfect place to live. For three important reasons. First, this city has a great prestige and recognized for the medical campus in this city is considering most important for have one of the best doctors and specialities in and out the United States. Instance, many people in and out the country come to take treatment for many healthy issues. Second, this city counts with ample opportunities the job. Due to it has many important factories, refinery and overall it has an active restaurant area. Finally, this city counts with the best School districts the education, where our children have the opportunity the receive the best education. In sum, for these reasons, I am happy to live in a great city.
ReplyDeleteHouston has major health centers but is very expensive.
DeleteHouston is great, and inexpensive the city. If you think to moved to the USA, you can prefer to Houston. It is because of the cheaper than USA's other city. You don't need a lot of money for your daily life expenses. You can rent a house, buy a car, go to the course, and more with a reasonableness price. If you have kids, they can go to the good school. Schools are free and hight quality until college. College price cheaper than other USA city. You can continue to various certification programs and be a profession owner. Houston is a hot city. There is usually the sun and light in the year. I believe, the psychology of the human seems to positively affect from the sun, so I love Houston's air. Sometimes it's raining throughout the day. Then l don't like it. In conclusion, Houston is a nice, cheap and safe city for living.
ReplyDeleteHouston is not my hometown, but it is where I live now. It is a city of oil. I have been living here for almost three years. This city has a comfortable living environment. For example, People can live in good communities with a lot of different services, facilities, and safety programs. Also, the cost for all of the services is reasonable. For instance, we don’t need to pay a lot of money for housing or transportation because the government can help you with Financial assistance or you can choose the most affordable option. We can apply for Financial Aid to study and get a degree without spending tons of money. These are all of my reasons for liking this city.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the city has problems which bother me a lot. Every spring, I will have a very severe allergy problem. Allergy makes me very uncomfortable. I will have running and stuffed nose, itchy eyes, and sometimes I have problems with breathing. Overall Houston is still a beautiful city. I would suggest that Houston should build a few more large amusement parks, then the city will be perfect. I like Houston after all.
Houston is a good place to live. I like this city because of it big town. It had a lot of people came from many countries in the world. Example, In my classroom, my classmate have come from 10 different countries. Joying a class with them was incredible. Houston had a lot of parks for people to come hang out with friends,familay, and learn about nature. My family like to go camping at Nature Parks. We can spend time together and make our brain is clear. I use to live in the country side but not far from the city. The road is big not traffic so much like in the city. I love my neighborhood so much it quite and fresh air to breath. People here is mostly friendly. It has many things that different from my hometown. But sometimes I still missing my country.
