Austin

Kites, bats, restaurants, and music–there are so many things to do in Austin. Austin is a quaint little town that is full of many perks and is growing quite exponentially. Austin is an interesting town that has a lot of fun things to do.

For one thing, Austin’s most recognizeable feature–is their bats. There are one and half million bats that live under our most prominent bridge–Congress Avenue Bridge. The sight of the bats emerging from their hideout at night is quite incredible. Covering the sky with their wings you can’t even see the sky. Now some of you that are reading this might think that is gross, but in truth, these bats consume 10,000-20,000 insects per night! I find the bats a very fascinating part of my town. Austin’s bat have the caught the eye of so many tourists that the bats have bring in 10 MILLION dollars annually. The bats are a very big part of our society.

Additionally, Austin holds a variety of events around the year. We have SxSW (South by South West), F1 racing, and other music events. SxSW isn’t just about music, but contains technology shows, and marketing conventions. This events brings in people from Japan, places in Europe, and many more places. It is a great place to lear about things happening in the world, and businesses trying to make a stand. This event attracts people worldwide to see the amazing things we have to offer. F1 racing was held in Austin two years ago and was a great success.The council decided that Austin was a prime location for the event, and so we are now a permanent location for it. Just a few years before that, they were racing in Europe. How did our little town get on their radar? These event are spread throughout the year perfectly so you always have something to do. I especially love listening to the famous bands that come to our town (Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.). The festivals and bats make quiet little Austin into a place of fun and diversity.

Austin is a very diverse city that people come from all over the world to see. The fun things held here will reel any curious person in. So whenever you might be thinking of a place to visit, I encourage you to come over to good ol’ Austin and give it a try.
