Its one week back to Sunnyvale, and it is such a relief to be back! Feels terrific to be home!(err...home?!)
I realized how much i missed this place after the 'hardship' in Shanghai. Don't be mistaken. My hosts treated me extremely well, and brought me out for many lavish meals. Far more hospitable than my US counterparts.
However, the entire environment in the valley juz beats it hands-down. Why?
1) The fresh air! Nowhere beats the air in California!
2) The weather. Not too hot in summer, not too cold in winter.
3) The traffic. No ridiculous amount of horning, no unnecessary cutting into lanes, respect for pedestrians, courteous drivers etc etc.
4) Smoke-free clothes.
5) Able to walk freely without fear of phlegm "bullets"
6) 100Mbps Cable access, VS 512K DSL(the most common in China)
7) Free access to any, and every website
8) No more vulgarities.
9) Open, friendly society. No more alienation just because i can't speak a word of Shanghainese.
10) Finally, PEACE of mind.
