New to San Francisco! My First 8 Observations!

Cali is my new home! I love living near San Francisco, and going to Silicon Valley. Being in Tech, this is the place to be!

But here are a few observations I have seen from moving from the East Coast!
Tesla’s are everywhere. I love Tesla and there are no shortage out in the West!
T-shirts rule the day. I see them on their own, under hoodies, and even under suit jackets.
Kale is a major food group. I have eaten more Kale in the last months than in my entire life!
Vball rocks. Yep, at Stanford, they even have a band and cheerleaders for volleyball games. Back in NY it is football, Lacrosse that rule. Not here! My daughters are thrilled (my oldest made second team all-district!)
No main food. In Texas, you must have TexMex and Barbque, in NY, Italian, but what is the food of Cali? It is healthy and very diverse!
Longchamp bags. My purse is a Longchamp that is a cool, Parisan bag, that I carry everywhere. No one I know in NY carries one but here I see them everywhere!
Talented nice, helpful people abound. In NYC, I could find a great restaurant at every corner, In San Francisco, I find great talent and people at every corner.
