@isavirginiapadron: 🇺🇸⚽️ The World Cup Is More Than Football—It’s an Experience! It has been wonderful to see so many international visitors sharing their experiences on social media after visiting America during the FIFA World Cup. From enjoying authentic Texas brisket and BBQ, to exploring traditional American markets, discovering local culture, and experiencing the warmth of Southern hospitality, visitors are highlighting much more than the matches themselves. Many posts mention: ✨ The friendliness and welcoming spirit of local communities ✨ The diversity and vibrancy of American culture ✨ The sense of safety and organisation throughout the event ✨ The unforgettable food, music, and entertainment ✨ The genuine hospitality that Texas is known for As a Houstonian, it makes me proud to see our city and our state creating lasting memories for guests from around the world. Football brings people together, but the connections, kindness, and cultural experiences are what truly make this World Cup special. Welcome to Texas. Welcome to America. 🌎🤍 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #HoustonTX #TexasHospitality #SouthernHospitality

It’s the same in every state buddy! You should have not spent all your time there and went to other states too. You will see that every state has all the same choices but with the flare of their state and culture
