A well <acronym title="entretenu">maintained</acronym> I'm your host Alex and today we’ll be continuing our city profiles, this time travelling to the hot and humid1 city of Houston.
Houston is the largest city in the state of Texas and the fourth largest in the United States, <acronym title="être sur les traces de">trail</acronym>ing only New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Houston has a population of more than two million1.
Houston's climate1 is classified as humid subtropical. In spring, supercell <acronym title="orages">thunderstorms</acronym> sometimes bring tornadoes1 to the area. <acronym title="dominant">Prevailing</acronym> winds are from the south and the southeast during most of the year, bringing <acronym title="chaleur">heat </acronym>from the deserts1 of Mexico and <acronym title="humidité">moisture</acronym> from the Gulf of Mexico.
Houstonians eat out more than residents of any other city, while here you can choose to <acronym title="se faire plaisir">indulge</acronym> in one of the more than 11,000 restaurants, <acronym title="allant de">ranging from</acronym> <acronym title="récompensé">award-winning</acronym> and <acronym title="haut de gamme">upscale</acronym> to memorable1 daily shops.
Houston has a theatre1 district second only to NYC with its concentration of <acronym title="sièges">seats</acronym> in one geographical area1. Located <acronym title="en ville">downtown</acronym>, the seventeen-block theatre district is home to eight performing art organizations with more than 12,000 seats.
Houston has a unique museum district offering a <acronym title="variété">range</acronym> of museums, galleries1, art and cultural institutions1 <acronym title="y compris">including</acronym> the city's major museums.
Fun in the Bayou City1 is easy to find. Houston's downtown has been revitalized with <acronym title="nombreux">numerous</acronym> clubs, professional sports <acronym title="equipements">facilities</acronym> and musical <acronym title="divertissement">entertainment</acronym> that has helped bring <acronym title="vie nocturne">nightlife</acronym> back to downtown, and that's, in addition to the rest of the city's attractions, shopping and restaurants to <acronym title="convenir à">fit</acronym> all budgets1.
<acronym title="vivant(e)">Alive</acronym> with energy and rich in diversity1, Houston is a dynamic mix of imagination, talent and first class attractions that makes it a world class city.
Home to a vibrant economy, beautiful <acronym title="alentours">surroundings</acronym> and a population full of optimism1 and spirit, it's no wonder that Houston is a popular international destination.
