Scribbles

Finally finished moving out of my apartment last night.  After one summer internship and 6 years, I left the one city I have stayed at longer than any other in my whole life.  Not only that, but even my time in that very apartment measures the longest I have stayed in any single residence — a whopping 3.5 years!

For those of you unfamiliar with Mountain View, it’s one of the cities composing Silicon Valley.  I did enjoy living there, as its location was perfect for me, situated between work and Stanford.  The city itself has its highlights and lowlights, but all in all, it never exuded an overwhelming sense of suburban sprawl, while providing the usual amenities and more.  Downtown around Castro street is one of my favorite hangouts for food and coffee.  The people are not much different than those in neighboring cities of SV, relatively friendly and polite.

And just like that, it’s an end of an era.  I will certainly look back with fond memories of friends, loved ones, and personal growth.
