[北加]The first month

Currently, I work in Santa Clara, CA. The life here is a brand-new adventure, full of challenges each week.
First week: I stayed with Hank's sister, and drove to work with a rental car.
Second week: I stayed in a new place where I found from the cragslist. It is a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo. My roommate comes from HK and her age is like my mom. I drove my rental car to work.
Third week: I returned the rental car, and started to bike. Driving from where I stay to work takes < 10 mins, but biking takes 30 mins. Very good exercise. I cannot feel my legs for a while.
Fourth week: I walked to work on my first day of this week, because I didn't bike home last Friday. I passed the DMV near 8am, and saw a long waiting line in front of it. I am going to be one of them in the near future, because I need the written test to replace my MA driver's license to the CA one. Walking to work takes 90 mins, which is a little longer than the Bus (> 60 mins because the transfer and the walking in between). It's a very healthy life by doing so. Also, I enjoyed buying a Starbucks coffee on my way to work. However, I do need to buy a car.
