First day here

California is a funny place when touring just the area of Palo Alto. You can basically see the nicest and cleanest neighborhoods of the US while also seeing that for the majority of the population in PA, dressing spiffy really is not expected or shown. There are some quirky rules for traffic, for instance one cannot turn right on red, and the fines for such violations are subject to the neighborhood your in. For that matter, the penalties are random numbers like $381.00, whats with the extra dollar? Also, the area has its own perfect culture. The streets are always clean, the universities and high schools are prestigious as can be, and the cars driven are all relatively new and somewhat fancy. Palo Alto is almost like a little bubble of heaven with some kinks here and there. I do find interest in all the startups throughout the town as it is very interesting how these companies found there ability to adapt and survive in an area where the restrictions and regulations are so harsh.
