I was in the Valley for about four years. Harlingen is always rated as one of the top 10 small cities in the U.S.

I love it except during the middle and end of the summer. where i work is smack in the middle of sugar cain fields so not only is it hot and humid but the mosquitos are ridiculous, but the people and city itself i love and Daves gym. I love Daves gym its a dying bread of old school/ hardcore and its 24hrs. Back to the RGV, cant wait. I love going to the island during spring break too.

No way. There’s no way I could come up with comedy gold like that post after post. I have a team of comedy script writers working for me. This isn’t even me typing its my PA.[/quote]
You don’t happen to employ the same team Saturday Night Live does, do you? Just askin.[/quote]
No. My guys are far too high brow for that.
I notice you live or perhaps lived in Japan. I love that country. My brother lived there for about 14 years exporting cars. He is back now with his beautiful wife and their stunning 3 year old daughter. She gets second looks everywhere she goes. I lived in Tokyo for 3 months. Had the best time ever. How long have you been over there? Can I ask what you do over there?
No need to answer if that’s too personal in this forum. Tried to PM but doesn’t seem to work.

Yeah, the PM function doesn’t work.
I’ve lived here for close to 11 years now. I also happen to be married to a very beautiful Japanese woman, and we have two very beautiful little boys together. One is four years old, and the other is a seven-month-old smiling machine (of course, he’s also screaming, pooping machine as well!).
Japan is a super, super fun place to visit, but you really need to have a good reason if you decide you want to live here. The difference is just unbelievable, particularly the difference between here and Texas.
As far as what I do, don’t trust that Chushin guy. I blew his cover long time ago, and he’s been following me around making posts like this ever since. You’d think a CIA man would possess a bit more class. (^_~)
Yeah, I own my own business here, an English school for little guys and young adults. And we also do overseas homestay tours in addition to teaching extracurricular English. It is hands down the most rewarding, fun, edifying, awesome job I can ever imagine doing, even if I lived a million years. I am blessed beyond all reckoning.

Texas has a great economy, and lots of opportunity.
Now would I live there? Not unless I needed a job. If you don’t mind flat, hot, sunny, crime infested cities go for it.
Their gun laws are a little too liberal for my taste. I prefer open carry and CCW with out any type of government oversight.
Speed limits? What are those? In rural areas triple digit speed are the norm. Awesome!
Tejano/Hispanic culture. Let’s say teen pregnancy and treating women poorly is very common. If you’re white and not a local avoid the Hispanic bars unless your just looking for trouble.
Hey Cortes, if you love Texas so much why are you in Japan? 
Read my post above. What I’m doing and the service I provide is more important to me than where I live.
Oh God, the FOOD in Texas. ~love~ I’m not a Texan, but I lived there longer than I’ve been any other single place (DFW and Austin) and I found good and bad, as with most places. The climate and geography were not for me, but people who characterize the entire place as some sort of buffoon-ridden right-wing caricature are idiots. People are people, places are places. There are always asses and boors and nice, restrained people along with good ethnic enclaves and places you wouldn’t safely go unless you were in-group.

I’m a one-man secessionist.
I was referring to seccesion, not to liking Texas. I’m very fond of Texas and its on my short list of places I want to live (NM and Wyoming are the other two top spots).

I think the crime infested cities is a bit of a missinformed low blow and not a real understanding of what a crime infested city actually is. Every major city and most all cities have crime all over. Not a single city in the whole very large state of Texas on the top ten most dangerous city list, not even Houston. Growing up in Baltimore city and spending time in many other undesirable cities such as philly and camden you get a perspective on what a crime infested city is, ive never felt like that in Texas and the statistics dont back a statement like that up. Teen prego rate is up there, that is a true statement. ive been to the hispanic bars and never had a problem not so much as a dirty look, there shocked at first to see a big tatted white boy but no problems ever.

Well, I think you are correct in your assessment from the perspective of someone who has lived in extremely high crime areas. However, from my perspective of living life in very rural areas. Most larger cities are defacto crime infested urban shitholes.
I have two buddies who are tall and fat(6 4 and 300). They don’t get much shit at Hispanic bars. (No saying your fat)
DFW area got a LOT worse after Katrina. I can’t imagine other areas were not affected, as well.
Oh, and as much as I want to love San Antonio (Remember the Alamo!), it has indeed turned into a crime infested city. Most of my maternal family live there, and that city has changed a LOT over the past 30 years. Not at all for the better.

Thanks for the response. I would love to get back over there now that I am a little older and more mature. I didn’t set foot outside Tokyo while I was there. I was too drunk and too enjoying the attention that went with being tall and exotic.

no doubt about it rural living is better imo and crime is always less because theres no sec.8 and the concentration of people is less. I just feel that for the size of Texas with all of its cities that it is not a bad place. look at illinois and its size and the amount of crime in its major cities, horrible. Theres spots in every city over 100,000 pop that you dont want to be in.

If you think that attention is good in Tokyo, come down to the country where I live. I’m like a freakin movie star here. Not exaggerating.
