I definitely wouldn't say all American large cities are the same, they are VERY different depending on where you go. Like VEGAN said, don't let Houston be your view of America as a whole.

Houston is an enormous city and I don't believe it's so much different from other huge cities in the middle of the country and the people there are nowhere near as homogeneous as you suggest. Sure you can generalize a bit but this is like saying that all people in, say, Los Angeles have bleach-blonde hair, plastic surgery, drive convertibles and are all as
sholes.
I live in Austin and although it is much more, um, liberal and whatnot - it is also much smaller and people still need to go to Dallas or Houston for world-class things like theater, museums, and restaurants. Lay off Texas, people. Houston is a fine city to visit.
