Thoughts from West Coast

highlights:

• some wonderful tea flavors at Cha for Tea (still ginger black tea with milk is still best) but its nice to have cold tea flavors in this weather
• speaking of weather - its 35 C .. living in such hot weather in quite a loooong time
• speaking of weather again - nobody talks about how good the weather is here, sun is always shining; its also nice how back in Dublin, life sort revolves around good weather
• got a credit card (of 100 USD limit :D) for building US credit history or thats what the bank lady told is a good idea
  
• likes the vegetation here (apart from the palm tress), feels like back home in India
• Indian food is def. way better
• there are lots n lots of Asians in Irvine .. almost everyone :)
• almost impossible to do anything without a car .. ok i already knew that but thought might be different
