If you truly want to get to know Austin just spend some time with Kim & at her place.
I found myself there more than anywhere else while I was in Austin. I still did my usual thing of going out each night, but the night life wasn't feeding my soul the way Kim & her place did. She carries the heart & soul of the "Austin" I've grown to know & love. So while you're there, my suggestions are: spend some time out back, enjoy the space. See if Kim has time to teach you some poi or how to hoop because learning something like that is priceless. She can teach you countless things. I enjoyed myself there. Kim is a very accepting person. Needless to say, respect is a given - so do your dishes, etc. I won't spoil the fun stuff for ya but I will say I think Austin is best experienced by allowing your curiosities lead the way. So in short - Austin is the attraction. Kim's is where you wanna be. Got it?
