It is a long planned trip to the head quaters of Oracle,SFO. The Official visit has been planned for six weeks.
This is the first time ever I am going out of India. The Sillicon Valley is the heavy money flowing area of the world. The Infrastructure is amazing here. Anyone who see the so called free-way first-time will be impressed. thats for sure. I have never been in the road in 150km/hour before coming here. 5+5 lanes are common here. I just dont compare this place with any where in the world. Simillar infrastructure may be there in the world, But I am very impressed here.
People here are supposed to be friendly. That is how they are brought up. On Morning walk, We can see people smiling at others, saying Hi and even Good Morning, How are you guys? The people are forced to respect the pedestrians and cyclists on the road. Anyone driving in the road definetly respect STOP sign. Onseeing this sign, Most of the car riders bring the car speed to zero and move. The on-demand pedestrian crossing is a good idea for the locations, where we have less people on the road. The good infrastructure made the city to expand spaciously. This leads to car-ride for everything. So, everybody has car. This in-turn leads to Poor public Transport.
The important thing to mention is food. I could have been impressed by infrastructure, But not by food. The so called Indian restaurants doesn't serve the Indian food. The customized version of the Indian food is not good here. I have been forced to cook most of the item, because of the poor food. Most Indian Non-vegetarians take Chicken, Mutton, Fish and prawns. But here, beef and pork are the most common food. Dont get surprised, If people doesn't know the meaning of Vegetarian.
