San Fran Part 1
I'm at San Francisco for about 3 days now. It's cool. There's so many things to talk about, I dunno where to start. Ok, here we go.
Our first stop was at Stanford University, there it is. It's massive and it oozes with architectural beauty and intellectual aura surrounding the buildings. Went into the bookstore to get souveniers and they've just about everything. From, sweaters, chess sets, frisbees, teddy bears, Ipods, pencil cases all with Stanford as the brand name. The basketball jerseys were quite cool and is sponsered and endorsed by Nike.
Because there are so many damm colleges in the US, sports competitions are so damm fun in the States. Basketball matches are aired live on the TV sets, you'll probably see your own schoolmates playing on TV. Yea, college basketball 24/7 on the TV set at my friend's place. That explains the sporting culture they have in the States, kids can focus on their sporting careers and have their fair share of fame that'll encourage them to do better. Unlike Singapore..
It's pretty dark here. That's already the second day. We're at some touristy site called the Fisherman's Wharf. Sounds familiar to Fisherman's village at pasir ris but it's very different. Nothing much actually. Beside me is Weisheng, minxiu's friend at Stanford doing his Masters. He kinda looks like James Lye and he is just a really nice and cool person. An Old RI boy and a Manchester United fan, haha, there you go. He just drives us around, bring us to the different places and keep us company. As I'm blogging here, he just left for his own holidays, doing some skiing. A great start to this trip has to be credited for his unmatched hospitality.
So you realised that California is not just about Arnie but it's also about driving and driving. Everything and everywhere is literally miles apart, so forgive me for being bo liao and narcissist for this.
Lucky we have minxiu's Ipod along the way, so we still do some familiar Asian songs along the freeway.
The thing that strike me most is about staying abroad and living in a foreign land. When I see both weisheng and minxiu, I see yea, the confidence, the independence. They have probably really lived life. It's hard to describe. Y'know.
The night scenes are lovely..I'll continue this some other time..
