San Franciso for one year

Funky light in American's bathroom

Funny thing we discovered today. 

American's people use bathroom as nightclub! I'm kidding! Actually like this build is/was used as a kind of hotel, it's in case of the personnel for example want to clean the flat, they will not disturb you because this light show them that you are using the bathroom.

Our second flat in SF

Well done!

We finally got the flat. After the 2000 Broadway St, we are now at 845 Pine St. It's still a Trinity agency flat, so it's furnished. This flat is better on several point, first we have 3 bedroom, actually, 2 br and 1 living room. Secondly it's in the downtown and third it's a more hot flat. 

It was not an easy job to got it. Normally we should rent it without problem. But few hours before we plan to sign the contract and give the money, the manager called us to say that we should hurry because at least 3 people wanted to rent it. So we run in SF to get the money and finally got the flat, what a crazy day.

We are still looking for a 3 bedroom flat/loft but it's almost impossible to find with our criterias. Moreover we must find it before saturday!

Run just for the landscape?

I'm just coming back for running, about 15 minutes away from my flat, I can run on this kind of beautiful beach... For sure it's more motivating than running in Paris!

  

 

4-by-4 In-and-Out

After the 2*4, we have tried with Fabien the 4*4 In-and-Out burger, finally it was easy to eat and I still hungry after it, next time, let's try the 6*6!

 

Startup Crawl event, feedback

It's an amazing event! Startup crawl consist in many startup which are opening their door, furnish food and drink at the same time. You can go there to discover buildings of your favorites online services, meet employees and other people for networking.  

Most of the time, startup have cool atmosphere, in each one you can find funny things that you don't imagine to find in a work place. At the same time you eat and drink a beer, and meet many people to exchange about your life, technology and business. It's definitively a good moment to share and exchange!

I went to this event with Fabien and Adrien. First we went to Pivotal labs which develop Ruby on Rails software, Engine Yard it a deployment and management Ruby on Rails services, Sauce labs which provide open source services and finally to Scribd which provide a document share platform. We was very good welcome in each of these companies and I thanks them for this.

I juste take a funny picture from Scribd:

And a little video of Scribd. I did not take picture and video of other companies:

My vision of an american cinema

Just a little post to share to you something I just lived. I went to the cinema to see the 2012 movie. About the movie, nothing very exciting. A irealistic stereotype cliché story but with very impresive special effects. Come back to the main subject. First each american people (or almost), buy his 2L Coca Cola goblet and his big pop-corn packet. Seat are, for sure, wearing hole to welcome it. After 45minutes of advert and teasers, and I'm not kidding, the movie start. What amused me was the american people who was laughing about the ridiculousness of the scenes and laugh about it like it was the best joke ever. So we laugh about things that should not be funny. Of course, I'm comparing with a french's cinema. Indeed, french do not laugh like this for action movie. I very enjoy this atmosphere, the american way of transforming sad things in funny one is a very good way of watch movie and I adopted this comportment by doing the same. A very big culture difference!
