With SIGGRAPH over we have flown up to San Jose. US airport security sucks you even have to take your shoes off and put them thru the x-ray machine !
San Jose is big and our hotel is little out of the way. The gift basket was a bag of lollies and microwave popcorn. Excellent. I really get the feeling you need a car to get around this place. It is also very very hot here I think I even got a bit sunburnt.
Our first stop after checking in was the flea market. Its supposed to be the biggest in the world only about 400 of the stalls are open on a Friday so it wasn't to busy. Apparently 2000 stalls are open on Saturday and Sundays !
After that we caught a cab into the downtown area of San Jose and went to TheTech museum of innovation. This is a create place with almost all the displays being interactive in a way and all to do with technology. We only had a hour before they closed so rushed from one place to another.
From there we wandered around the downtown area for a bit and had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant. The food was very good.
Headed home for an quite night as we are planning a day trip to San Fransisco tomorrow. Gonna try get a Greyhound bus, how American is that :)
