Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

My name is Tracey, and I'm a new teacher at SES. I'm so happy to now be living in Japan! Before moving here, I lived in Dallas, TX for almost 14 years. It's such a cool city! Would you like to know more? Here's a bit of information I thought I'd share:

  •  Dallas is the 9th largest city in the United States.
  •  Dallas is the 3rd largest city in Texas (Houston is 1st and San Antonio is 2nd).
  •  Approximately 1.28 million people live in Dallas.
  •  Dallas is home to DFW International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.  
  •  Dallas is home to five major league sports teams. They are:
    • Dallas Cowboys (Football)
    • Texas Rangers (Baseball) ** 3 Japanese players have been or are currently on their roster (Koji Uehara, Yu Darvish and Kyuji Fujisawa) **
    • Dallas Mavericks (Basketball)
    • Dallas Stars (Hockey)
    • FC Dallas (Soccer)
  •  On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas.
  •  7-Eleven originated in Dallas, TX in 1927. 7-Eleven Inc., is headquartered in Dallas as well.
  •  Toyota is relocating its US headquarters to Plano, TX, a city in the DFW metroplex.
  •  Sendai, Japan is an international friendship city to Dallas.
