My lovely city! See the cluster of tall buildings on the lower left corner. That would be the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world! All those buildings are either hospitals or medical schools. We got at least 13 general hospitals and 7 world-class medical schools along with other specialty hospitals, etc. if you want to have anything to do with medicine, this is the place to be.

And a bunch of low buildings with red roof to the left of the Texas Medical Center would be the rice university, my alma mater!

2013年12月10日，广州荔湾恩宁路安土街44号的房子孤独地立在荔枝湾涌边的工地上，朱惠旋站在自家门前

恩宁路的改造多年来反反反复，大部分2007年时被列入征拆的片区，目前已融到广州粤剧文化博物馆项目和荔枝湾涌二期改造项目当中。大拆大建的过程中，几乎整条被抹掉的街巷有几条，如钟巷、安土街、元和街等，如今只能在历史资料里寻找它们的踪迹。

I was in Houston about 10 years ago. didn't care too much for it. Seems dirty and grimy and saw a bunch of unsavory characters. I probably shouldn't paint with broad strokes though because I may have been in a bad part of town LOL
Some parts of my town look like scenes from Robocop as well if you are in the wrong area.

An obscure melon once cultivated by Buddhist monks in China to sweeten tea could give the $8 billion U.S. diet soda industry a shot at winning back consumers concerned about artificial ingredients.

You won't find monk fruit in any of the soft drinks at your local convenience store. So far, shaky supplies and limited demand have kept the expensive melon on the sidelines of the sweetener industry.

But some experts think the fuzzy green fruit, which ripens to the size of an apple, could be the ingredient soda makers have sought for decades: a natural product with great taste and no calories.
