    @Mountain View 短暂的Bay Area之旅

      这礼拜去了趟Mountain View,先感慨一下北加州凉爽的天气吧,即使是炎炎夏日,也不过20多度。相比德州动则40度的高温,上帝真是偏爱湾区很多啊。

      因为在San Jose是租车出行,让整个旅行方便很多。Mountain View的路都是弯弯曲曲,即使是bypass也不老实,经常能有个90度的大转弯,给我一个意外的惊喜。而且加州的司机,统统地没有让车的习惯,永远的奋勇争先,不知道是不是因为受到硅谷的aggressive的文化的影响,还是因为Bay Area有太多的"Chinese/Taiwanese crazy  driver"。住的地方就在101高速公路,因为是三藩通往San Jose的主要通道,到了上下班的高峰时段,Freeway 101 经常像停车场一样,所有的车在路上慢慢地爬。更苦了bypass上的司机,乖乖地等着进入高速的红灯。在加州有一个戏言,说加州实际上是由交通部门运转的,反映相比其他州,加州的罚单尤其厉害,特别是现在经济不景气,州财政吃紧,正是需要开源的时候,闯一个红灯,就等着收一张300刀的ticket吧。

      因为湾区大概有10%的人口是亚裔(其实主要是中国人啦),所以湾区遍地可见的,就是中餐馆和中国超市,这几天除了开会的西式伙食,也大快朵颐的吃了好几顿川菜,台湾菜,上海菜。上海菜就没啥特色,估计是没吃到好的餐馆,但是川菜的水平,确实比休斯顿的要高。在湾区的最后一天,和ZY mm还有师兄一起去吃了Palo Alto Stanford旁边的一家湖南菜,点了三个菜一个甜两个不辣,真是枉为湖南菜之名。后来向服务员成都老乡打听,原来老板是台湾人,大厨也不是湖南人。不过成都老乡就推荐Mountain View的Downtown有一家正宗的川菜“川外川”,老板和厨师都是正二八经的成都人。看来下次是不容错过啊。

      说完了享受和吃喝,未免显得土人我太不重视文化修养,所以我偷闲去了趟Stanford University,逛了Stanford的几个著名景点,胡佛塔,哲学院,Main Quad....遗憾的是走马观花地游玩,只能观赏Stanford的景致,却无法感受到Stanford这个学府的底蕴。
