And finally.
The eagle has landed.
After quite an uneventful journey of three and half hours in an extremely crowded plane of people in sauve coats, business formals, and expensive leather bags unwielding clumsy laptops.
There was not even one damsel in distress.
What more to expect when you are flying from one tech area to another!!!.

This is what a bird's eye view of southern Austin looks like. Try to correlate with this

Luckily, my baggage came through safely and quickly.

And I am staying in Cupertino, in a quite big apartment rite behind the Apple headquarters @ 1 Infinite Loop. (Pictures to follow).
Apple is a stone's throw away. Literally - I can throw a stone and it can fall into the parking lot of Apple.

One of Apple's buildings - there are about 8 of theirs here. And all of them have this famous Apple sign. Read the address - 1 Infinite Loop. LOL


The Symantec office, quite near to the Apple Hq.

And how does the city look? Take the best area of Bangalore, and spread it everywhere. Thats how it is - minus the snarly, overcrowded, potholed roads, and the dust-laden air. And an amazing weather that never crosses 80 F (27 C) - its the perfect weather for everything. And that is why companies like AMD, Intel, nVidia, Symantec, Apple, Google, Cisco and a lot many more have their home bases here. And that is why it is called Silicon Valley.

One of the few things that I DO NOT LIKE about the city is the lack of public transportation. California in its entirty is notorious for lack of one. It is often said that If you have to go a distance farther than your car, take your car. Unfortunately, I do not have one, making life all the more difficult for me.

Work starts tomorrow. At 8 am. It is going to be a miracle if I get up that early.
