Dallas, Texas On The Trinity River

Imagine a place where past and present meet, a place where there are many cultures and a myriad of things to do. El Paso, Texas is just that, a place where cultures don't clash, but, instead, mix.

Being the most populated city in Texas, it comes as no surprise that Houston is without question the most diverse. The various ethnic ‘districts’ that exist not only within the city but in its expansive suburbs are fascinating. You could find yourself driving through the typical, American metropolitan shopping strip one minute, and find yourself in the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the next! And sure, it’ll never substitute the real thing; but that was as close as I formally believed I’d ever get.

DALLAS, TEXAS. Dallas is on the Trinity River in the center of Dallas County in North Central Texas. It is crossed by Interstate highways 20, 30, 35, and 45.

In the 1870’s, the Unassigned Lands in the part of the Oklahoma Territory that would become Norman, Oklahoma was a sight to behold. Just north of the North Canadian River, which is the main tributary of the Canadian River, which in turn is the largest tributary of the Arkansas River, Abner Ernest Norman led his federal surveying crew to what would develop into the town bearing his namesake. “Norman, a 23-year-old surveyor from Kentucky, was hired to oversee part of this project. Norman’s work crew set up camp near what is today the corner of Classen and Lindsey streets; it was there that the men, perhaps jokingly, carved a sign on an elm tree that read “Norman’s Camp,” in honor of their young boss.” (Mills)

After I saw the place, the people, and their interaction, I got the deep understanding of the United States. I have to admit that America is the busiest city in the world. In Beijing, which is the best city in China, I have never seen so many grand buildings in one area as in Times Square. As Times Square is the symbol of New York, I can see the fashion of this city. And I also find that people here prefer to watch opera, because there is a long line in front of every theater. From the restaurant, I can obtain the American’s taste that they prefer the fast-food,
