First trip of the day was Stanford.
California Governor Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Stanford was the founder of Stanford. It was name in honor of their child, Leland Stanford Jr who died just before his 16th birthday. Ever since their one and only child has passed away Leland Stanford consider “the children of California shall be our children”

Local and students of the university refer to the school as THE FARM, it is because the university was located on the former site of Leland Stanford’s horse farm.

After that we went to Intel museum which is the world leader in silicon innovation and develops technologies and products. The Intel Museum showcases Intel’s history and operations through unique exhibits and presentations designed to let us explore Intel® technology



In Intel Museum we leant about microprocessor history, computer chip design and manufacturing. There was this exhibit which allows us to write our names in binary code.








One of us tried on the bunny suit, which is the outfit the engineers are required to put on before starting their work.










We learn something about microprocessors and chips which I we never knew. It literally unbelieving what goes into creating microprocessors? We also learnt more about founder of Intel Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce.

After that we went for a tour around University of California, Berkeley. UC Berkeley is the oldest and has 10 campuses all together and 32 libraries they even have a few museum in their university.

Our host told us Gordon E. Noyce founder of Intel was once a student in UC Berkeley.

Berkeley is a comprehensive university, offering over 7,000 courses in nearly 300 degree programs. The university awards over 5,500 bachelor's degrees, 2,000 master's degrees, 900 doctorates, and 200 law degrees each year. Class size ranges from introductory courses with hundreds of students and seminars with fewer than ten.


We went to hunting for six sixty factory outlet.
driver couldnt find it because 6-60 outlet was closed down like erm 2 years ago!!! without wasting our time we set off to twin peak for the sunset view!!! The ride up was alsoIt was lovely to at the top of the hill with a panoramic view of downtown San Francisco. You could even see the golden bridge, alcatraz, Teasure Island and The Bay Bridge.



Did you know that Twin Peak also houses The Summit Resevoir. The resevoirprovides drinking water to residents, water for local fire departments, and is a necessary water source to the birdlife in the area.

Stop over at this place for dinner the place was huge!! After dinner we went back to our hotel. Had to start packing since it will be our last night staying in Marriott!!
