Sushi in California

I went to a Sushi restaurant near Google campus. This was the appetizer. It was weird because they put salad in a bowl which should be used for soups, and put soup in a bowl which should be used for rice. So the owner's thought is not passed along to the employees, I guess.

This is Gyoza and Google roll. I don't know why they call this the "Google roll". There was "Microsoft roll" on menu also. We never get these in Japan. Sushi here is so different than what we get in Japan. But I do like rolls here.

Doggie bag. You should rather put hamburgers in it.

Napa

I went to Napa with Kaz on the Weekend. We took the Platypus tours. Our driver, Shawnda was so great, and all the tour members became very close so quickly. This winery was the Hagafen Cellars, which provides wine to the White House. The wine was great.

The wine yard. No grapes in this season.

The second winery we went. The young man taught us lot about wine. I felt winery in Napa is similar to hotels in Japan. You can go for either quantity or quality.

Shawnda made us sandwiches here.

Keep on jogging

It has been 7 days since I came to Mountain View, and believe it or not, I am still either jogging or running on the treadmill everyday.

This day, I climbed on a hill nearby GooglePlex. The white twin peaked tent is called the Shoreline Amphitheatre. I think it is some kind of an attraction. The brown buildings at the middle is part of the GooglePlex.

Looking on the opposite side of GooglePlex from the top of the hill, you can see the Southern most part of the San Francisco Bay.

The mountains you can see far away are the coastal mountain ranges.

GooglePlex

So, I finally came to the "GooglePlex" the main site of Google at Mountain View, California.

I've read somewhere that the two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin loved the academic atmosphere of Stanford University where they started Google, and designed the site so that it will keep the atmosphere.

Since the campus is full of nature and the air is so beautiful, I started jogging in the morning.  Here are some photos I took in the morning.

I don't know if this portion of land is owned by Google or not, but there are more spaces of expanding the campus.

This one was taken in the afternoon. I love this Android Robot. And you can also see a Doughnut.

And an Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread. If you are an Android freak, you should know what these mean.
