New to San Francisco! My First 8 Observations!
Cali is my new home! I love living near San Francisco, and going to Silicon Valley. Being in Tech, this is the place to be!
But here are a few observations I have seen from moving from the East Coast!
• Tesla’s are everywhere. I love Tesla and there are no shortage out in the West!
• T-shirts rule the day. I see them on their own, under hoodies, and even under suit jackets.
• Kale is a major food group. I have eaten more Kale in the last months than in my entire life!
• Vball rocks. Yep, at Stanford, they even have a band and cheerleaders for volleyball games. Back in NY it is football, Lacrosse that rule. Not here! My daughters are thrilled (my oldest made second team all-district!)
• No main food. In Texas, you must have TexMex and Barbque, in NY, Italian, but what is the food of Cali? It is healthy and very diverse!
• Longchamp bags. My purse is a Longchamp that is a cool, Parisan bag, that I carry everywhere. No one I know in NY carries one but here I see them everywhere!
• Talented nice, helpful people abound. In NYC, I could find a great restaurant at every corner, In San Francisco, I find great talent and people at every corner.
