California

by Jon Beattie

I haven’t been to California for many, many years, although I have fond memories from my last visit.

It is good to be back. San Francisco and the surrounding areas are really fantastic. This is sort of like my Graceland, being the hub of all things tech and Internet related. It has been very cool to drive past some of the head offices of the US tech giants and I was pretty pleased with the view from my hotel room:

Apple Store

Stock full of Apple goodness.

iPod Vending Machine

If you need a reminder of how deeply consumerism is integrated into America.

Freeway to San Jose/Silicon Valley

The freeways are in terrible condition. Maybe it is the earthquakes and constant sunshine?

San Francisco International Airport

No queues, friendly customs agents and easy to get around. Are you sure this is America? The complete opposite of LAX.
