This week's observation is from my most recent visit to Austin, TX! I instantly fell in love with the city. It has the same atmosphere and feel as Seattle (just mucho hotter). Great food, 6th Street is full of crazy new experiences, and the people are not as "Texy" as the rest of the state. Plenty to do in this lovely and weird city.
However these observations are based on the Great State of Texas and not just Austin alone:
- Roadkill is everywhere, it's practically a dead zoo.
- Texans love to bling out their vehicles
- Texans most coveted parking space in not the closest spot to the entrance, but the one with the most shade.
- In Texas, pedestrians do not have the right-a-way on a free red light (even if it says WALK). If they hit you just sue them for their Ranch.
- Even the restaurant a/c is too cold for locals.
- They take their salsa seriously..very seriously.
- You will be told welcome to Texas within 10min of getting off the plane from a local (not the airline). Apparently they can sense if you are not from their homeland.
- Cowboys, beer, inner tubes, and a river is the thing to do.
- Austin maybe weird, but it's the most normal city in Texas.
