Friday night we went to Wendy's "drop out of 'loopt'" get together (loopt is the company they all work for as computer engineers here in silicon valley - side note: that's why there are so many Indians in the pictures ;-) loopt is a community like facebook, but it works for cellphones. the program tracks the phones on a map - so friends always know where their friends are and keep a journal updated so that any of the friends can see what the others are doing at any given moment.) and to the 500 club, popular hang out place of theirs. On Saturday Aroon and Alok (photo) took me to the Yerba Buena Gardens were we saw a Jamaican band perform and went ice skating. Pretty strange thing to do when it's hot outside. But we had a lot of fun, having little ice princesses teaching us how to spin and laughing and tumbling over each other. Actually, we got better and better. Aroon once showed off a dangerous landing and earned himself a considerable hematoma, it is dark purple and big as an apple now but he is brave about it. We randomly stumbled into a freaky art exhibition opening, the gallery was crowded with the strangest bohemian figures. A transvestite repeatedly tried to hit on my friends! The next day we went to Sausalito, that pretty and expensive area on the other side of the Golden Gate bridge. Unfortunately it was cold and windy and the sunset failed us, it was uncomfortable up there. That night we went to a preparty at a very luxurious apartment of a friend of a friend. The people there were quite drunk already and had soooo much booze in the fridge still! We did a veeeery bad thing: we actually took a bottle of vodka ON THE STREET! Uncovered! oh my. We ran a couple of blocks to the club we wanted to go to. We believed we could save the 10 dollars! A couple of blocks is a long way to run in San Francisco. by the way we got there it was after 11. Clubs close so early in the States, even in big cities. Well, people start partying earlier, it's not too bad.

San Fran Cisco WEEKEND!!
I have this phrase stuck in my head..."Next and final station stop is Saaaan Fraaaan-Ciscoooo!" said in an amuzingly happy voice by a good-mooded conductor on the Caltrain downtown. This was a smashing week, I had so much fun and saw so many things in the Bay area. I took the train every morning to get into the city from Mountain View, where I am staying with my friend Aroon. While my friends here have to work - and they work unbelievably much, also nights and weekends if they have to - I had time to explore SF on my own. In the evenings we met up and went out together. Pretty exhausting. ok, where do I begin? Glad I came for the last weekend, so we had some time during the day.
