What up fellow ex Bay resident. Woo has way more character than anything in the Silicon Valley. It's turned into Diet L.A.

Yea, I’m actually in college rn and it’s nice having variety in the people I interact with. It’s not all tech bros and soccer moms. And because ur from the bay I’ll say I grew up in Menlo park

That's a good place to be from, I suppose, lol. I'm from SJ, tho I used to work in Palo Alto and in Los Altos, had a lot of customers from the Park (I was in auto repair).

Lots of the same type of people in Menlo Park. The Peninsula was definitely the worst of tech culture with all the heavy hitters being there.

I'm glad to be here, but I miss nicely paved roads.

Yea it definitely wasn’t bad, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a privileged upbringing. But it’s easier to see that out here than back in CA where every other car was a Tesla

I was pretty lucky too, the tech booms really helped my family even though my folks were in education. Hard to deny that reality.
