Houston

When I traveled to Houston with a friend, I quickly learned how crucial it is to research a city before arriving. We picked Houston as it was the only place where we could find flights that aligned with our schedules. However, we were surprised to find that there were no pedestrians walking around downtown. This was due to an extraordinary underground city that connected several buildings, allowing people to move around freely regardless of weather conditions.

As we delved deeper into the underground, I was fascinated by its impressive infrastructure and its purpose of climate control. The tunnels were interconnected, and it was effortless to move from one location to another. The various shops and restaurants were a delight to explore, and it was easy to get lost in the maze of passages.

Despite the excitement of the underground city, I was also eager to explore Houston's food scene. Although I heard great things about Houston's cuisine, I found it to be somewhat average and not as good as I had expected. The ribs, in particular, failed to impress me. I am biased, though, as I prefer the smoky flavors of Phil's BBQ in San Diego.

My visit to Houston was short, but I made sure not to miss out on its famous attractions. Rice University was a splendid place to visit, and I enjoyed strolling through the beautiful parks and visiting the museums. However, I do regret skipping the trip to NASA due to the long drive. It was a missed opportunity, and I realized that it's essential to make the most of every chance to explore a new city.
