o hoei, from san francisco
Asma and I arrived in SF Saturday morning. We missed our first flight but managed to get on the next one on standby.
This area rocks. We've had a lot of good food and done a lot of walking. We've also taken tons of pictures. The scenery and weather is amazing. The weather can be confusing, though.
Our first order of business after checking in to the hotel was to meet someone to see an apartment. We walked through a very sketchy area and thought we were going the wrong way, so we turned around only to realize we were going the right way. So we scrapped the apartment but managed to find Taqueria El Castillito. Amazing food. So that turned out to be a succesful outing.
Right now I'm on the Caltrain, on my way to Redwood City to meet Raymond. We're going to prep in our temporary office for a meeting with an angel investor. It's the second one for this guy. First time I'm ever participating in something like this. I'm nervous.
I also stood in front of Facebook's main office (wow!). Stanford is amazing. Berkeley has its pros and cons.
Commuting around here might actually be fun. All seats on Caltrain and BART have enough space to work on your laptop. And the scenery [again] is nice. Metro's has mayb 25% of their seats as being laptop friendly, and half those are handicap-preferred.
In conclusion, we feel good about the move for sure.
