Well my first day here in Palo Alto has come to an end. I did a lot, I first went to look at a room in a house in the morning in Menlo Park after I picked up my rental car. Then, I went to Stanford University to see if there were any housing for rent (I didn't find much, they usually start on the 1st of June). There at Tressador Union, I went to eat inside Union Square. I saw lots of Stanford students there so I tried to blend in as best I could. There were lots of students with laptops, and I didn't bring mine, I could have blogged in real time, but I left my laptop at the hotel!
After lunch, I went to go see another room in a house in Redwood City so I drove the car down there. Then, after, I went back and passed by Stanford shopping center where I decided to have a look. The pictures that I took from my Palm Zire are here on Flickr. There was a Palm store and naturally, I went in and asked Palm technical questions hehe. I went inside an Apple store and the Sony store, and marvelled at all the gadgets in there. After that, I drove the car and opened my US bank account at Wells Fargo. Then, went back to the hotel, checked some e-mail, then went for dinner.
At night, I drove mistakenly to Mountain View but I finally did find a place to stay for my summer here, so that's great. And I found out everything here is accessible, it's only like 10 minutes between Palo Alto and Los Altos, and then after Los Altos is Redwood City, and Mountain View is on the other side of Palo Alto. The different cities is like equivalent to the different TTC subway stations in Toronto! This is because the Bay area is part of the peninsula where everything is compact. But it's nice, and I think I'm really going to enjoy the summer internship here.
Once again, all the photos I took of my Palo Alto travels today are here on Flickr.
