I am living in the Homestead Village, the self service inn just beside the
Microsoft campus. It is only one road away (NE 28th St) from building 27. The
house above is seen from the window of my room. It should be the 4th building of
Homestead.
This is the building 26, where Windows Media team now stays. I saw the two big
disks hanging on the window. They are the release signing disk for Windows 2000
Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I remember they were hanging in the
lobby of the building before. It is also another most memorable I saw on campus.
It is mid-Nov and the leafs on the maple trees has completely turned burning
red. The campus looks fantastic with all the trees.
Some of the leafs has become light yellow. Look at the leafs. The color are so
pure and I really enjoy the scene there.
The temperature rises a little bit recently. The maple leafs - some are and some
are not - falling to the grass land. The greenish windows are the building 8.
There is nothing to eat and with the serious jet lag, I cannot eat anything. So
I only bought a piece of fried chicken at $5.99 and some orange juice. Bad
lunch, I have to say. It is interesting to see different people treat the same
food differently. The Americans like this kind of food?
Every time I bring a laptop with me, the incompatible plug specification is a
big problem. It is not a problem of voltage. Most laptop converters accept 100 -
240V. I have to go everywhere to find a converter that convert the China plug to
US power outlet. I was wandering near Seals with the shopping cart. Finally, my
conclusions are:
Stay tuned
I have a lot of photos and interesting stories about the trip. But I am badly
lack of time to write it down. Will get more stuff later. Thanks for your
attention.

It depends on where you are. The international shipping fee is high.

Thanks

Posted by: Biju Scaria on May 24, 2003 4:48 PMYes I do. But I have to fetch my laptop at office. Would you mind if I send it to you about two days later - do remind me if you don't get it in a week - I frequently forget things, especially when there are too much readers asking this and that....

I stumbled across your blog by typing "best wallpaper" at Google. The results produced one of your photos. I have since viewed almost all of your photgraphs. I had no idea China is so beautiful. Quick question: is "Daocheng" the same as "XiZhang"?
Keep up the good work!
