Tour de Silicon Valley

Okie! Finally the Silicon Valley tour had already started. We went to many companies in this southern California area. Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Salesforce, CNET, Sun, Cisco, and much more were here. We had about 5 days but we went to all the companies in just 3 days. The first day was about the orientation and some small companies gave us a talk. The last day was the interview day. I didn't bring my suit and everyone wore suit everyday... hmm...I was a blacksheep in this event, but that's fine. At least most of the companies here were tech companies, and all of their employees were casual! So, I was not that weird... :-)). Visiting these big companies were really great and inspring. I wanna have my own company which can make some impacts to the world as just like them too...

Carnegie Mellon West Campus

I had arrived Carnegie Mellon West campus just a day before the Silicon valley tour started. My friend, Umm (and his girlfriend) drove me to the campus. Thanks so much! dude. The west campus was not that big. It had only 2-3 buildings and it resided in NASA Research center. I stayed in a provided room with another roommate. One bad thing was this place was really far from anything. Ok, just waiting for the tour to start...

Back to San Francisco again

After I departed LA and bye-bye to all the friends in the trip, I took a shuttle bus back to San Francisco again. This was because I had registered for Tour de Silicon Valley event at CMU. So, I needed to go to CMU west campus in NASA Muffet field, which was pretty close to San Francisco. I stayed with my friend, Fluke in the downtown for about a week. We went to many travel places in the downtown.
