i realized that it's different to be tourist and local here. When you tourist, you can't actually feel all difficulties living in USA, because you are tourist, and being an Armenian in particular, since if you are Armenian in USA, especially in California means you have at least couple of buddies, who will organize your all needs.
... including BBQ, party, pub crawling and so on.
But imagine, you are move to work and live here... Let me tell you something guys... It's 180 degree flipped world. People are not considering you as a guest, so you can't really expect that they gonna spend a lot of time with you, which is totally understandable because of totally different life style. I used to have relaxed life style in Armenia, and because i worked with Canada (at Macadamian Technologies) i had a a bit shifted working schedule, and taking into consideration that i lived 5 mins on walk from office, i could always sure that i'm not gonna be late. Not in United States. need to noticed though that i was lucky that I'm in SF bay area, which is THE BEST place in entire USA from the logistics and transportation point of view. Really THE BEST.. They have caltrain (which takes me to Bay Area) they have metro or tube or subway (not the Sandwich place with Best Avocado inside :))) ) (as they called it here), cable car, buses, trolley buses, Bart and some other types i never explore. The good thing is that all you need is a Clipper Card...
And all this makes your life easier, but still i need a ride for 20-40 mins by muni transport, after 20-30 mins on Caltrain to get to the Silicon Valley, another 20 mins of walk, and here we go! I'm at work, Exciting , isn't it?
... Overall 60-80 mins , which means i need to wake up early morning to make sure I'm on time. Anyway, it's interesting experience, gonna digging deeper, to see how it works... P.S. - I don't forget that i need to back to the Kardashian Story as i promised on my previous blogpost
