Im in Houston TX.

In any event I am hoping that when I go to Oni-con (anime con) that they will have a takoyaki stand in the food room. I REALLY want to try it

oh i see... i know you don't live on the east coast or west coast but i would think a big, wealthy city like houston would have at least one or two decent japanese restaurants....not that i don't believe you...i'm just speculating.

well short of going to japan if you want to eat some good japanese food....visit New York or L.A...there are tons of good japanese restaurants....some are actually branches of Japanese restaurants in Japan.

yeah i can imagine it would be hard to find good japanese food in the midwest/south. my friend who is from chicago, but now lives in l.a. says when she went home to chicago for a visit said after eating such great japanese food in l.a said the sushi in chicago was not good at all.

Especially in Houston that is DEFINETLY not the case

you forgot C) All of the above :rofl: :rofl: j/k!

what like you are not going to admit that you don't have a ten gallon hat and shiny belt buckle?

Especially in Houston that is DEFINETLY not the case

i know i've been to Houston....but when ppl over there started referring to cars as "horseless carriages" and helicopters as "whirly birds" i became concerned.

There is really none of that in Houston. If you go out to the surrounding cities of Houston like Katy, Richmond, Rosenburg, and Pearland thats where you start to see farms and stuff. Funny thing is that depending which part of houston you are in there are different kinds of resturants and groups. For example the Sharpstown area is mostly Asian then the Harwin area is mostly Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern. Bellaire area is mostly rich white ppl so there are slightly expensive resturants. The River Oaks/ West U area are Old money rich white folks so there are REALLY expensive resturants. Same with the Galleria area.

Funny thing is that you can go from one side of town to the other and it takes you 2 hours without traffic. Houston is like a virus I feel. We never stop growing and engulfing smaller cities into ours. Luckly the mayor said he would not add the Woodlands then a person can drive 3-4 hours and still be in Houston.
