I don't know how (or why), but I thought this said you were going on a couple's ski trip, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why you were going to Houston for that! 😂

Andalucia's is one of my favorites for Tapas. Nancy's Hustle is also a must. 1751 Sea and Bar in the Heights is amazing. There are so many good restaurants in Houston. Tons of breweries, museums, and tours you can take as well.

For foodies in Dallas, I HIGHLY recommend the Asian Grub in DFDUB (DFW) group!! SOOOO many recommendations on food, I can’t list them all! 💕

Try Atlas Obscura. Their website usually lists some pretty cool destinations

I live in houston. Whats your budget? And what kinda shops? High end or more mall ish?

Umm...there’s a Bucce’s in Madisonville, but the real stop is Woody’s Smokehouse in Centerville if you’re into jerky. That’s all I’ve got. I’ve taken that route many a times between Midland and Houston. Lots of pretty, wide-open spaces.

If you have your prior passport, you can renew at your closest ROC mission (Houston). If you don't have it, you'll need a ROC national ID card, nationality certificate, or household registration. https://www.taiwanembassy.org/us_en/post/88.html
