=Mr. Tha`nh,

=You're darn right.  Texas girls are a lot better than Cali girls.  No
=questions about that.  However, Georgia girls are even better than
=Texas girls.  I don't mean to convince you to go to Georgia.
=I used to live in Texas.  Texas has no state tax, i.e., you can save a
=few thousand bucks right there.  Texas has low automobile insurance, a
=lot lower than Cali.  Housing price is about half of that in Cali.,
=similar to rental, i.e, apartment, too.
= 
=If you are looking for a girl, Houston is a better place compared with
=Dallas; however, in general, Texan girls are more loyal, submissive,
=natural (the real thing), and beautiful than Cali girls, i.e, they
=don't have boyfriends A, B, C, etc. at the same time.  Similar
=comparison, they are less compared with Gegorgia girls.  The only thing
=is the availability here (Georgia) is not that high like in Texas.
=Quality cannot go with the quantity, you know.
= 
=If you depend more on Vietnamese foods, Houston is better than Dallas
=area including Ft. Worth, Arlington, and Dallas (Garland, Richardson,
=etc.), but if talking about jobs, Dallas is a lot better.
= 
=Well, I'm no longer a Texan, so I let current Texans add more
=information.  Kho^ng da'm mu'a rie^`u qua ma<'t tho+., you know.

=Tu+. Ro
=Ex-Texan
= 
=P.S.  They (I mean girls) are hot like chili and know how to ride very
=well, I mean riding horses, not other.  You know what I mean.
