Housing update

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Ok, since I wrote so much about housing last time I will have to explain a little bit about what happened to the housing quest since. As I wrote I had got an offer to share a room in an appartment in the sunset district. I was going to share this room with Mike W Moore. He is a freshman in Cinema and a pretty nice guy. So I moved to Judah st (Sunset district). And actually it was pretty good, and fun. I kept looking because I wanted a better commute to the trainstation, and a room for myself.

Now I found another room in an appartmet on Ivy st. This is a small street, very centrally located between the Civic centre and Hayes valley. Close to both Market st and the nice hippie-ish Hayes street neighborhood. I share the appartment with a 30ish guy working non-tech in Mountain View. My bedroom came (nicely) furnished, and as such looks a little like a hotel room. (see pic).

 

Outside lands music festival

One week after I moved to the sunset district there was the outside lands music festival, which I had been looking forward to for quite a while already. I went there with Petri, another intern at HP. It was fun. And besides it was only two blocks from my then-room on Judah st.

People

Some people keep asking if I start to feel at home and if I’m meeting nice people. Well, yes. I do. Nora introduced me to a couple of nice people, and via via I have met more, in San Francisco it is not very hard. For example I went to another festival (the treasure island fetival) yesterday with a guy I met on the train Friday.
