The opportunity came unexpectedly, I really need to thank Dr. K on this since it was my first business trip ever. After we landed in San Jose, I (and possibly Dat) was like an excited child and couldn’t calm myself when the SUV came across many big names, i.e. Yahoo, Sun, and Intel, along the highway. Although sounds a bit silly, I really didn’t realize until then that I was actually in the Silicon Valley – the mecca of technologies. Looking around with admiration, I kept imagining how great it would be to work here when I graduate.
The meeting with Intel was on the next day. As Dr. K indicated, I had mixed feelings about this trip as well. We were exposed to some of the frontier research that Intel has been focusing on. Nonetheless, it is obviously not an easy task to ask for someone else’s latest inventions. Another soothing fact was that the working condition there cannot compare with what we have in our lab, where everyone has a dual-monitor workstation.
