moving from cali to texas

[rash]

My dad lived in texas long before I was born and went to the university of texas. I was born and raised in California but me and my dad are going to move to texas probably by the summer. I must say I am pretty anxious...going to a new place and all. Starting over with friends (although most of them are out of the city/state for college) and what you are comfortable with is hard but I think it is time for a change anyways.

The destination is probably going to be Houston and I am just praying that they show the Cowboys games on TV instead of the Texans game.

Anybody that lives there: give me a first person perspective of what to expect. Good and Bad.

Thanks!

Almost every Cowboys game is shown here in Houston.

I just did some research and am devestated by the fact that the university of texas doesn't have a male's soccer team. My dad played on the team 30 years ago and now for some reason they cut the sport? Only 4 of the colleges in texas has a soccer team and that really dissapoints me.

Now I don't wanna move there :mad:

Houston?

EXPECT TRAFFIC. Tons of it. If you're a fatty, and love to eat, you're headed to the right city.

[MetalHead]

Definitely an upgrade,but if soccer is the reason to change your mind,stay in Cali.We don't want you.

Bumper to bumper traffic, at 80 miles an hour. I **** you not. Hate driving in that city with a boat. Houston has a lot of economic opportunities for the ambitious young person.

The city is huge, so you might find a few dozen people who enjoy soccer. Maybe.

I'm pretty sure there's a significant soccer community, especially since Houston has a MLS team. Right now the games are hosted at UH, but they're about to get their own stadium just outside downtown.

But you're absolutely right about 80 mph in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Drive fast or get run over. :laugh2:

I did the opposite years ago I moved from Texas to Ca. I went from a small rural area in the Texas Hill Country to Los Angeles. Talk about culture shock! :eek:

I didn't know a sole when I arrived in LA and didn't even have a job lined up. I had $1600 in my pocket and one month paid on my rent.

The first week I was here I took a job as a waiter at a restaurant. A few days later I took a day job as a tour guide at Universal Studios.

I went through having to make new friends and adjust to the area. One of the biggest challenges was having to deal with the traffic. :bang2:

I spent the first 3 months homesick and getting lost but gradually I got use to it and the move ended up being the best decision I ever made.

Congrats on the move.....sorry it's to Houston :laugh1:

You forgot to inform him that every other vehicle on the road is a Suburban or Dual wheel pickup so you can see anything either.


Closet thing to bump drafting you can experience if you're not a Nascar driver.
