Russians are rather aloof and cold. They would not help a lost tourist. No smiles, no thank yous but loads of Vodkas. Was said that Russian Vodkas are smooth to drink even if it's neat. Nothing piercing like Absolut Vodka. I didn't manage to try.
Reds Square
St Basils Cathedral built by Ivan the Terrible
Russian stacked dolls signify unity in a familyHouston, as compared to other states in USA, has more blacks and Vietnamese. Due to its proximity to Mexico, many signs, menus etc have Spanish as well. FO Justin mentioned that it is possible to drive to Mexico but Tim says it's dangerous in Mexico. Perhaps my next visit to Houston, i would try to convince more people, especially the guys to go along.
And now.. more visuals.. :)

Mock ups
The many tiers of freeway in Houston
NASA was a disappointment for me. I wanted to see for myself the interior of a space shuttle. But there wasn't. There's a more exclusive tour called Level 9 tour which costs nearly $90. But due to limited tickets, we didn't manage to visit that. But am not sure how worth it it is though.
