Visiting Silicon Valley

It's a nice place... but I wouldn't want to live there.
Spent a few days in Santa Clara at Foundry Networks for a training class. Found a few things interesting:
1.) There are a lot of Pakistani living there.
2.) People don't give a crap about driving laws.
3.) Santa Clara is very well kept.
4.) Can't talk on the phone and drive at the same time (oops!)
5.) There are fifteen million Indian restaurants.
6.) People are not all that friendly there.
7.) The airport is a nightmare (they are updating it though).

It's one of those trips that makes you really appreciate home.
Here are a couple of pics:


Heres a pic from my rental car. On the left is Citrix on the right is Foundry.

These 2 are from inside Foundry who was Lucasfilm used in the production of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Thats a switch on the left.
