Mateus - Austin Experience

Last Saturday we had a trip to Houston to see two interesting places: the Houston Museum of Natural Science and NASA. First things first, the trip to Houston was a 3-hour trip by bus; it was a little tiring but totally worth it! In our way to Houston, I could notice some churches, water towers, small villages (although I don't know if it is appropriate to call them village or towns) and many cows! At the museum there were many fascinating exibihtions: the Dinossaurs; Ancient Egypt; Minerals and gem, and shells. I was really impressed by the jewelry exihbition.  After visiting the museum, we went to NASA - it was a huge place with incredible attractions. I got into a real space shuttle and saw a rocket really close. I loved this experience!

Hello fellow bloggers! It's been some time since my first post. Apart from studying a lot, I’ve been doing many amazing things here in Austin: I’ve been to museums, parks, shopping centers, and most recently, an arcade. I’ve always been a bit fascinated by arcades since I was a child. I grew up watching many American movies, and these places always showed up in a lot of flicks. In my opinion, arcades are part of American pop culture. A friend of mine from Austin took me to this place called Cidercade by the Colorado River, and we spent the night there. It was an incredible experience. Now I know why arcades are so popular! One of my favorite games there was the 'pinball' game.

 After living in Austin for a whole week, here are some first impressions I’ve had:  - it is a very hectic city; - lots of green areas with beautiful views;  - different kind of activities (bars, live music pubs, nightclubs, theaters, parks);  - very hot weather;  In general, it’s been a great experience living here. It is my first time abroad so I’m really overwhelmed and excited by all the new things I’ve been living right now. On the following posts I will show you some cool places I visited so far.
