First trip to Houston

Houston, the biggest city I have ever been to. What impressed me most is its tall buildings. I just feel them from the surround city road. If I can walk through them, how would it sound? It would be a great impulse to live with them. I would say they are not beautiful, but they are overwhelming, like giants with great strength.

The destination of this trip is the famous China town, along a street which is called Bellaire Street. It takes about four hours from Lafayette to Houston. When we arrived in Houston, it was past 13 o'clock already. We had a great "noon tea" in a Guangdong restaurant. The food offered are of great varieties but with small amount, which is in a typical south diet way. Guangdong people are good at cooking, they have a great culture in diet. I have heard that before, before I have this opportunity to experience them by myself, I could not imagine how good they are. The China Town does not appear as what I've thought of. It has low buildings and scattered in a big area. At least it should have a imposing entrance building. Maybe it have one, but I have not seen it. The commodity in the two supermarket, Huikang and Golden is great, almost whatever I can buy in China. I bought a lot of seasoning, which can be used for at least one semester.

When I returned back, it was almost midnight. Tired but an unforgettable experience!
