Houston, Texas

Hello there,

I chose Houston, because I went there when I was ten and my sister was on an exchange there for one year when she was 17.

Houston is the biggest city in Texas and one of the biggest cities in the United States. It was founded in 1836 by two brothers John Kirby Allen

and Augustus Chapman Allen. The population is about two million people. Houston is also the centre of "Houston-Sugar-Land-Baytown", that means, it's the biggest cultural and commercial centre on the gulf of Mexico.

Houston is famous for it's energy, especially oil. The port of Houston is nearly the biggest in the united states. In Houston is also the Nasa-space center (everyone knows it from the famous words:"Hello Houston..."). In the city are many museums, cultural things and universities.

The rice univerity in Houston is one of the best twenty in the united states.

The inhabitants, which are called 'Houstonians' , speak about 90 languages, so this makes Houston to the most multicultural city of all.

Those are the matter of facts.

Hope you enjoyed it. (:
