Arrived in Berkeley yesterday evening, living in a lovely garden cottage. It doesn’t really seem to matter whether you return your green ticket when you leave the US – I forgot last time, and the immigration officer didn’t even ask about it.

Berkeley is a beautiful city. At least in North Berkeley, people say “hello” when they meet on the streets. Everything is green, the Campus is great.

Pros:

  • Coffee at Peets (Telegraph Avenue)
  • Wheather is great (Spring, almost 20°C)
  • View over the SF bay

Cons:

  • Cody’s, the famous bookstore, has moved. Not in Telegraph avenue any more.
  • Cal swag too expensive.
  • I’ve walked too much.
