moving from boston to TEXAS any advice?

Hello, I live in Texas and know first hand what to expect.

Houses and real estate is far LESS expensive that some other parts of the U.S. including Boston. On bugs there are probably more mosquitoes and allot more sun and heat here then what your used to. If you move to Austin you'll find it to be a very nice atmosphere with friendly people, Tex-Mex food, Mexican restaurants, allot of nature spots for camping and hiking, there are parks everywhere in Austin. People here are very outdoorsy people too in this location, and is safe to live a raise a family compared to most palces like big citys. Texas is big on family values and treat people well. The majority of the people here are white and hispanic. So the two merge and make its won culture (Tex-Mex) .

Austin is like an hour or two from other main city's like Houston, and San Antonio.

Hope it helped! I Love Texas!

i've got in no way been to Austin, whether it will be distinctive. I stay half-hour north of Boston, on the seacoast of latest Hampshire. Snow= Nor'Easters. It became the two '06 or '05 the Boston faculties have been closed for 3 days using snow and my area became closed for 2 days. The snow would be a discomfort, whether it is so gorgoues. in trouble-free terms some week in the past i spotted the leaves changing colors and that they get so ideal for the duration of the autumn. for the duration of the summer season the leaves are bright eco-friendly and the trees are crammed with them. The summer season climate is likewise diefferent. that's humid whether it infrequently gets previous ninety 5. There are taxes on each and every thing, yet you are able to bypass as much as New Hampshire for tax-unfastened paying for. as quickly as a year Massachusetts has tax-unfastened weekend and that i think of it became final weekend. you will see college scholars around the city alot. in case you have little ones or plan on having little ones quickly, the hot England Aquarium, the Boston technology Museum, the Duck excursions, Fanueil hall, and the youngster's Museum would be great places so you might take them. you are able to stroll especially much everywhere, or take the subway or prepare. Fanuiel hall is so relaxing. there is often some thing going on there and consistently stay music. final iciness that they had an ice sculpting contest there and that they beautify the entire area for the holiday trips. one element i admire although, is the horse drawn carriges in the iciness. The food is definitely stable, and there is (as in maximum substantial cities) China city, Little Italy, the North end (Italian area) and the South end (Irish area). regrettably i've got in no way been to Fenway or Gillette, and my total relatives loves the pink Sox and Patriots. yet once you in trouble-free terms watch the video games on television, you will see what the followers are like. The food is depraved stable . Oh, additionally be waiting to hearken to "depraved" especially much each and every the place you bypass and the Boston accessory. once you're a skiier, snowboarding factors are interior basic accessibility (New Hampshire is the closest, Maine and Vermont are farther). magnificent now, they are having problems with the tunnels, in trouble-free terms a heads up. they have been having problems with them for especially much over a year now. There are alot of leaks and holes in them, which make traveling out and in of the city puzzling. have relaxing and enjoy Boston!! =)

You probably ought to cross post in Houston also. You'll get the "culture shock" you asked for. As far as insects, fire ants (step on a nest and you'll find out the reason for the name), scorpions (shake your shoes before putting 'em on), black widow spiders (another reason to shake your shoes), africanized bees (don't even THINK of messing with 'em), and "piss" ants (get bit by one and you'll find out the reason for the name).
