The area around my place resembles an industrial area. (The satellite photo
above is quite old. A few years old i think). Just replace the industrail
lots with shops and restaurants. There are no houses around my place. Being
in Silicon Valley, I dunno where the houses are. Just that my immediate area
consists of shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels and lots of carpark. The scenery
is fantastic while the plants around is incredible.
The weather here is fine, usually sunny. Temperature ranges from 7 to 15
Celcius. Sunrise should be around 6 while sunset is around 5pm.
The In-N-Out Burger stall. Picture taken on the first
morning. U can see the nice background. Some hills, dunno what (must
find out later:P). All the shops around here are small and cozy.

Kawanku ATM card).

Applebee's Grill. Never been inside or at the windows. The food should
be quite pricey (for my standards) but otherwise normal for US standards.
Food cost around US7-15 around here for food comparable to Swensens
or Coffee Bean standard.

More of the menu. I usually Take Away my food since the servings
here can be huge, and then i can eat them at leisure. Always remember
to give tips if the place accepts them. People stare at you if you
don't.
