As a UT graduate from China years ago, my first impression of Austin when I came was heat, strong sunshine, and downpours, the grass was yellow in the summer and turned to green near the wintertime, everything was in large portion size. Then I quickly fell in love with the city and Texas spirit. I don't know why, but years later, every time when I came back to Austin from other places, I felt like I was home and comfortable. I love Austin.
I used to live in Austin I ended up moving to Alaska and I'm still here I watched this for the memory the nostalgia hit hard and I didn't release I was crying till it ended
austinite here. a few of my favorite places werent mentioned, so ill list them here. a note about austin, going anywhere downtown? dont drive. uber or take one of those cool scooters. parking is always a nightmare. -waterloo records on north lamar (amy's ice cream right next door !) antone's is another austin classic record store, also a music venue! -another music venue to go to is for sure is emo's -barton springs is the best place to cool off in the summer, but it gets crowded. -graffiti hill (now closed but you can still sneak in. nav to castle hill fitness. this spot is a famous grafiti tagging place. get a picture there before they tear it down!) -house park bbq! trust me on this one -the greenbelt is a huge beautiful trail network for hiking, with some small swimming spots. take your dog! -the oasis is an uppity restaurant on lake travis known for its view. cant say much about the food but boy is it a nice date spot -mount bonnell (perfect view at sunset!)
I was born in Houston. Although I love Houston, I'd much rather prefer Austin. If you're to visit Texas you must go to Austin, or Houston. Austin is a very beautiful city. Amazing and awesome.
Yes, I agree. I'm a full blooded Austinite, meaning I was born here, and I agree it's an absolutely gorgeous city. You'll never see another one like it. From the suburbs of Round Rock, to the rocky cliffs and oasis of Lake Travis, and then to the downtown area that claims possession of exponentially skyrocketing skyscrapers, it's a truly beautiful experience.
Ibrahim Fairoozy I wouldn't exactly call Iceland the "heaven on earth". (By the way, learn to capitalize where capitalization is due.) San Diego is a bit closer to that description, however, it lies near the pacific ocean and fault lines.
+shortstackJMD96 do you think so even right now with all the hype of austin and everyone moving there? i ask as someone who's never been but want to live in a southwest city with some humidity.
I lived in Austin and loved it! Now, after 5 yrs. in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm ready to go back to where things are weird. LOL Don't forget to try the Tex-Mex and BBQ.
@@SuperDraupnir They are a husband and wife from a show called, The Office. They said they would move to Austin on the last episode. Btw, I recommend watching it.

Coming from outside of the US, Austin and San Antonio are the only two cities in Texas that offer truly international tourist attractions and are worth visiting. Houston and Dallas are just big cities with a lot of skyscrapers but they're not like majestic NYC or Chicago, they lack attractiveness and they're simply ugly.
Lion Celica San Antonio has SeaWorld and the riverwalk. Austin has the Texas Capitol But don't get me wrong, Texas is definetly not a good destination for international tourism. It's not Florida, NYC, California, Chicago, Hawaii or Las Vegas, which are the places worth visiting for foreign visitors
you sir are right im from houston and i visited dallas many times before they plain dead IN DOWNTOWN austin and san antonio city has attractiveness IN DOWNTOWN. the reason why houston and dallas has no life is because there business cities. the skyscrapers are nice but no attractions any where you have to go out the city on all directions and you find stuff to do in houston and dallas. what i dont like about austin and san antonio is dead outside the city (without their attractions )is like a desert. houston and dallas provide alot outside dowtown area for you every 100 miles on every direction.
+luuchoo G and NYC is dirty asf at least Dallas TX is organized Chicago on that High traffic shit it has wayy more traffic than Dallas Vegas lacks water very dry cali can compete with us and that's the only state that can Miami Florida can too but not the rest if Florida so stfu and get yo facts straight TEXAS👍👏💪🐂🙏💰💰💰
I love Austin, America 😍❤️♥️💙,but Deutschland is my ultimate preference for settlement if I can grab the opportunity anyhow,as it possesses a confined population with a heritage & weightage of its own culture which is sculpted in the rocks of ancient history.
shamus ass Why? That is the one major downfall of Texas. Often times, long droughts, followed by "devastating floods" in flood proned areas. But then, that is probably the result of global warming. Not Texas's fault.
shamus ass If you want to live in a climate with "little rain", check out San Diego or the sort. Or, better yet, check out the deserts of Peru or Death Valley. Or, better yet, magically fly to the Moon and you'll never see a cursed rain drop again.
John Staggs Of course, it's ironic that recently some areas of Texas have seen the worst flooding in Texas's history. (Recent recorded history, of course.) And STILL some areas of the state are in drought. Yes, there are red flags - but apparently most people hate rain anyway.

Which part of China were you from? Obviously the southern heat is very different to Harbin.

Same here born and raised in da H, but ppl never wanna visit houston like that, and i dont understand why , its a lot of shit to do !!

I'm from Houston, and I visited Austin this past weekend. It is surely a sublime city. Very cool place!
Austin was such a unique place! We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to share all our videos on the city!
The state of Texas is such a beautiful state, everything is wonderful there.I live in Illinois, Chicago.
Would love to visit Austin Texas, hope it´s sooner than later! Until then I hope to see some of you from Austin here in Iceland!
Your country is the heaven on earth!! I wish I could be there
Make this one day, cupple of days, and make these cupple days this summer:) we would love to see you here!
Ibrahim Fairoozy I wouldn't exactly call Iceland the "heaven on earth". (By the way, learn to capitalize where capitalization is due.) San Diego is a bit closer to that description, however, it lies near the pacific ocean and fault lines.
Haha, I don't plan on going to Iceland. ;-;
I’m from Texas and I was in Iceland this year. Mér líkar mikið Ísland.
This city gives such good vibes ! I hope i can visit it one day .
Austin, the largest growing city in the US
not really houston is number 4
+Anthony Martinez what?
Anthony Martinez she said the fastest growing not the most populated? Idiot
Isn't it Boise, ID?
Joel who’s talking about Boise id?
Love that owl building. Spent a couple months living there while on workplace training. Loved it.
All of downtown is beautiful. Wouldn't rather live anywhere else
Bobby Guajardo any shady parts of downtown to avoid? Thanks!
@@Nate-pz1rf 6th street.
10 years since this video and so much has changed in this place. Transplants stole the soul of this once great city.
very relaxed city. Another homely big Texas city alongside Houston
Other great locations to visit in Austin: twin falls, sculpture falls, barton springs, lake austin
Underrated city. Overshadowed by Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio
+shortstackJMD96 do you think so even right now with all the hype of austin and everyone moving there? i ask as someone who's never been but want to live in a southwest city with some humidity.
+Brett Panzer Not much humidity in the southwest. . .though Austin probably has the most.
Austin is in a high pressure zone that makes it very humid while simultaneously making it not rain very frequently.
shortstackJMD96 Fourth largest city in the state
I somewhat agree!
Nice video, captures the music and experience of Austin very well!
Have to go to Austin some day, seems to be a must see when in Texas!
I Live There!
Dallas is pretty cool too.
worldtravelimagesnet check Houston #HTWON out too. We got the NASA station and the beaches
Seems very progressive, very beautiful city. :D
It sure is. Austin focuses more on technology than other cities do. This is one reason why this city has a massive growth in population.
Austin is AWESOME!! And I would say that the people are the best part :)
Love Austin, Texas!
I lived in Austin and loved it! Now, after 5 yrs. in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm ready to go back to where things are weird. LOL
Don't forget to try the Tex-Mex and BBQ.
Wow buenos aires thats the city from storm troopers
what do you do for work in argentina?
someday, I shall return to my home
Definitely looks like I'll be checking the city out. Seems like a great place to live in!
It’s not anymore, I’ve lived here my whole life. It’s very expensive to live here. Plus we have a massive homeless camping problem.

how many days do you need to visit the city?

what expedia isn't talking about is that we are still in a major drought and most water spots for the exception of Barton Springs is dried out.
