美國 Texas......

通常見有人答得甘長,我都唔會多口.而且樓上果位睇得上花咗心機做reseach.但你問到San Antonio,唔出聲又違背我係呢度嘅本意.
San Antonio係TX中部嘅二線城市,人口及面積比北面兩粒鐘車嘅首府Austin大.但比東面開車三粒鐘嘅Houston細好多.(Houston係美國第四大城市)但玩嘅地方比Houston多.好似Seaworld,Fista.Alamo同downtown 嘅小運河.好多houston人放假去San antonio.所以S-Ato比較似一個旅遊城市.裏面冇乜中國人.墨西哥裔人多(向西開車兩個半鐘就可以到美墨邊境.)講西班牙話機會比英文多.冇唐人街只有幾間雜貨鋪.揾大型華人超市要到Houston.
食物隨咗果D大型(麥記,BK...)都係墨西哥餐多.中餐除非有人食過(唔係美國人,佢地心目中嘅Chinese food同我地唔一样)帶你去,否則唔好試.大部份都好難食.BTY,德州啲shsui幾底食.
冶安都OK,但係點都要小心.不過你冇車,一個人唔去得邊.
着短袖衫到十月尾.你到十二月係冬季,最凍係一月.凌辰有可能到零度.不過最多一、兩日.到白天會升返上十幾度.時常瞓覺開heater.中午要開冷氣.好少機會落雪.S-Anton舊年都有落雪.其中I-10(即係往Houston嘅公路)同埋Austin 機場封咗一日.其實唔係甘嚴重.只不過搞笑係Austin機場冇準備同飛機除雪嘅化學劑,同埋公路管理局唔夠雪鹽.甘你就知係幾少落雪喇!
三月開始熱.六月至九月夏天時好熱,(三十五度以上)不過好少會曬倒太陽.(你尊登去曬另計)出門撻車開汵氣,去到目的地最近嘅車位.(通常就係門口.)落車入到室內好少機會要行多過一分鐘,而且濕度低,會比HK舒服.六月後有可能有颶風,至於龍卷風亦有可能見到,機會同俾雷擘中差唔多.
機場係市中心(即係好似啓德),Trinity都係.應該少於十五分鐘車程.不過強烈建議你揾人接機.唔係冇公共交通.(好過冇少少)但絕對唔適合剛落機攞住行李嘅你.
Trinity係間小型(相比TX A&M,UT)嘅大學.裏面有宿舍.好唔好我就唔知.
如果你用嘅係三頻或四頻手機,可以帶嚟用,三頻只能用T-mobilehttp://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/
如果係四頻,除咗T-mobile外,仲可以用AT&T.http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/get-started/index.jsp?q_returnUrl=/cell-phone-service/go-phones/pyg-plans-phones.jsp

只為你只留六個月.建議你用perpaid.打返HK可以用SKYPE.
亦唔建議你開户口,更簡單嘅方法,只要你張提欵咭有下面嘅Logo(呢間係 VISA嘅附屬公司,另有一間 Cirrus 係附屬Master咭).滙豐/恆生咭一定有.

然後到美國有呢個Logo嘅提欵機襟錢.HK收幾錢手續費問你間銀行.美國每次收US $1-$5.但一定便宜過匯錢.90%以上嘅提欵機都可以.問題係揾部平D手續費.真係要匯錢可以用(Western Union西聯)
除咗S-Ant玩嘅地方.到TX一定要去NASA.其實係一處幾無聊地方.但一生人一次,唔去過邊有得鬧?

(1)距離
this is the map, i am pointing at the airport for you.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=san+antonio+airport&ie=UTF8&ll=29.450361,-98.456039&spn=0.431097,0.677032&z=11&iwloc=addr

the distance is not too far from downtown. 8 miles only. I would say within 20 minutes.

(2) 天氣
yes fairly warm, since it's near central America.

3) 居民
According to U.S. Census data from 2006, the racial composition of San Antonio is 66.0% White, 6.7% African American, 2.1% Asian, 0.5% Native American, 22.5% Other, and 2.1% from two or more races. However, 61.3% of the population identify themselves as being of Hispanic origin. Whites of non-Hispanic background were 31.83% of the population.

(4)食物
Mix i think. But i'm pretty sure that the portion is big.

(5) 旅遊地方
(read Attractions from Wikipedia la~ sorry i can't help much with this)

Hope it helps. Good luck!

(6) 電話費用
我想問如果在那兒用本港的 3既電話卡, 大概一分鐘要多少錢???
3既電話? you mean 3G? I don't think we have 3G fully available yet...

當地的電話卡??? 大概幾多錢?? 在哪兒可以買???
this one i can't help you. sorry. However, I'm sure that there is a Chinatown kind of place in San Antonio. You should be able to buy a card there. I would say within US$10.

7) 銀行
I think it's better for you to set up a new account over there instead. Pick one that is convenient for you, or ask friends/professors at school to suggest you one. I know Citibank and HSBC are the ones that are both usable in US and HK. There might be some others.

Ah, just checked the banks in San Antonio. If you decided to set up a bank account, set up at Chase or WaWu(Washington Mutual) or Bank of America.

I did a search on banks in San Antonio, and sorry i don't see any Citibank nor HSBC...
btw, citibank is 花旗銀行, and of course HSBC is 匯豐...
