 Pagalpremi,
Absolutely true.
By the way what is 911? Is that mean 9-11 september 11?lol.....Everthing is big in Texas.Bigger the better how about that?

tun3r,
 Yeh I had droven from Austin to san anotino, San anotnio to Houston, Houston to Dallas, Austin to Dallas,  Dallas- Houston-san antonio -Austin to Dallas.I like Austin little bit better than others coz of all the rivers ,jungles and the hillls made me feel like home.Dallas and Houston are almost same .Houston is little bit big and has some beachs.San antonio little bit small but you can freely walk in downtown and riverwalk is better too.
 

Rajesh dai,
  Drinks all day play all nite ,Lets get it poppin, Im  in H-town trick.

 There are jungles in Austin or anywhere in Texas for that matter? 

How did you forget about extreme Summer for a couple of months.....Room ma ni AC, car ma ni AC..Room baata car ma pugna ni AC jodnu parne body mai...


I hate TEXAS specially in summer.

I kid I kid.

Texas is a wonderful state.  Not sure if it's the best though.  

I like margaritas, senoritas, texmex, texas size steaks, etc.

I don't like hot and humid 8 month long summers, lack of mountains, lack of people on the streets, lack of decent public transportation, etc.

 ummm not the best state for sure.. it's hot , old dirty cars and roads, too many wanna be hee hawwwws and Nepali ppl get shot in gasstation all the time... maybe good to find desi gas stations to work for but not the best to raise kids etc... Denver, Seattle, Portland, OR are much much better than most part of texas..with relatively progressive people who are open to other cultures. 

 Jangali manab,
Atleast in summer u don have to walk on the streets . In compare to Winter of NY, Colorado , Washington and other Norther states, Summer in Texas is far more better. We dont have to face those messy snow and slippery roads in winter.And about Summer turn your ICe cold AC high, turn ur music high on drive like a boss.

nepali-american,
 I think not only Texas all the mid states are too hot and humid in summer.Eg, Arizon, New Mexico, california, Kansas, Oklahoma even Minnesota.

Pshrestha78,
Seems like u never visited Texas. Texas is bigstate with many cities. Go to Austin and San anotinio and u will see how beautiful it is. I bet South padre Island is one of the best place to go in Summer.About gettin shot in Gas station , I think everywhere in USA people get shot in Gas station but we only give attention when it happens to Nepali.

 bigrekoketo,

Personally I choose to live in snowy places rather than hot and humid ones.  so, YES, NY better than TX.

Many people lost their lives working in gas stations in TX than rest states...Its always a threat!!

Do You think its still the better state to live...NO WAY!

LoL Jangali Manab i lived in NY for 5years and moved down to dallas for year then san antonio last year  and after going all over the places i must say i pretty much love it out here even the heat sucks but hey even in NY  during summer you need AC on your room/ on your Car .

Only main thing is Public Transport in NY ....Dallas doesn't have much of that but San Antonio and Austin has good public transport system atleast better then dallas . Who gives shit about heat i am out there fishing once in a while day and night :)

LOL @ good Texas weather. Hope no one from California is not reading right now.

 I am, Rahasya. This thread is a farce in so many different ways that its beyond hilarious. "Jungles in Austin" re. Texas has a great weather re. Ffs, didn't Dallas just break its own record of seeing the most number of consecutive days of mercury rising above 100? My buddies were telling me how the temperature would go above 90 at 7 am. Compare that to 65-75 degrees that the Bay Area enjoys throughout the summer (to go with no snow in winter). I don't think the temp went above 80 degrees more than 3 times during the entire summer. Chilly/cool mornings, mild-warm afternoons followed by mild/cool eveninngs.

Also, I don't really believe Texas is the best state for Students. If you're a student looking for quality education, Minnesota is the best state. Period. You can work your ass off during the summer and work PT during school year and end up graduating college from a decent University at an affordable rate and what's more, you won't even be 'wasting' extra 2-3 years in Community colleges before graduating. Further, you get to lead a typical 'American Life' whilst also socializing among fellow Nepalese. Parties, extra co-curricular activities, trips in Fall/Thanksgiving/Easter/Winter Breaks - you get to enjoy all those, too. 

That said, I'm not saying Texas is bad or anything. You get to work like 50-70 hrs in Gas Stations without papers and go to colleges at an affordable rate,too. I just don't think that Texas is the best state to live in. Its not even close. North Carolina, Virginia, Oregon, California, Washington, Indiana and even Minnesota are just some of the better states off the top of my head. 

 footyfan,
Im sayin, Texas has good weather coz in winter we don have to wear thick clothes and jackets. In compare to 2 feet snow in other Eastern and Northern states and about Summer in Texas everybody can afford car so Ac in house, Ac in car, Ac in work, Ac in college so 2 months summer wont be big deal.We love heat coz IN TEXAS WE LOVE TO DRINK ICE COLD BEER IN HOT WEATHER.

Compare to Minnesota , Texas is way better in education. If u r lookin for cheap universities than there are many , If u have good Gpa and wanna study in scholarship than the uiversities like University of Houston, University of Texas at Airlington, University of Texas at Dallas,Texas A &m at commrce, Texas A&M at Galveston , Sam Houston university are the choice which offeres in state for Int'l student .Beside that If u wanna study in world rankin University than Rice university, University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M college station are the best universities.

And about workin 50-70 hrs ,it depends upon person. here the culture on students are when they are in community college they work more than 50 hrs and save money and when they go to university they work 2,3 days a work .so u cant generalize that everybody work 70 hrs.

Workin 50-50 hrs without papers????? Why in california they give papers for student to work?????
I have seen lots of Nepali people in california dropping their college just for Asylum. California is way too expensive for students . Minnestota ,virginia etc hard to find job. 
                                                                                  "TEXAS BIGGER THE BETTER"

I believe that no one state is better than any other state. It is about personal preference and it all comes down to what you like, what you want and what your needs are.

I live in New York City but I am not really a big fan of this place though. Yes, it is a great place but there are also a lot of other things that are not so great. Let me write down a few. In other states, you will hear people complaining about road rage but in NYC, not only will you see road rage but you will also experience sidewalk rage. Is sidewalk rage real? Hell yeah, it is real. Come over to NYC and you will know. You will always be trying to cut in front of people or walking fast enough so that people behind you don't get mad. The mentality here is 'either move or get out of the way'.

The transport system in NYC is pretty good but the first time I stepped into a train car, I thought I had stepped into a different era in time. Here is an example of what you might see and this is real. You will see a homeless guy sleeping in the corner with a big black garbage bag (just imagine the smell), a few Mexicans playing their their guitars for money, some weird looking guy with tattoos all over his body, some stripper-like girls giggling near the pole, a couple of high school kids smooching like they are about to make a baby, young kids crying their lungs out and just when you close your eyes to shut everything out, a beggar will walk in through the emergency exit shaking hard the little coins in the cup that he is carrying. Oh if you are lucky, you might even see rats in the train car but don't worry there will be some normal people around too. LOL.

Oh no, lets not talk about the people. Not only do New Yorkers look angry all the time but their rudeness is beyond belief. New Yorkers think they are experts at everything. My biggest pet peeve is when someone talks about something like he knows it but in actuality he knows nothing. I also feel that New Yorkers are rude or appear rude because they are not afraid to voice their opinions and there is also very litte separation between their private and public life. For example, most of us wouldn't scratch our a** in public but when we are at home we do it. People is NYC aren't embarrassed to scratch it in public. The mentality is "It is my a**, it is my business".

Aside from the negative stuffs of NYC, this place has a very good platform for people who wants to succeed in life. And 'If you can make it in NYC, you can make it anywhere'.
