We went on a tour of SF Bay area and the University of California, Berkeley (Cal for short), organised by the Int'l centre, on Sat 23rd Sept.
There was a football match going on at Cal that day, so it was a bonus for us to see their Band in action (plus some cheerleading eye candy). We learnt that Cal and Stanford have always been "friendly rivals" for sports and probably among the students as well. Their official colours are blue and gold, while Stanford's is red and white.
We had stickers pasted on our tops that day with our names and countries where we came from, so it is easier to strike up conversations with fellow int'l students. We met a Japanese lady who is working with the Japan embassy in Russia for 2 yrs before she was sent here to undertake studies in Russian Language and Culture - cool right?
These are some pics we took that day at Cal...more on the SF Bay area in next post
