来到湾区不到1个月，住在号称美国犯罪率排名第四的城市，奥克兰，它北面的城市里奇蒙就是排名第五的啦，呵呵，其实没有感觉有多危险，室友是个墨西哥菲律宾老小伙，来自佛里蒙（中国人扎堆的城市，就在东湾的南面，类似大多地区的马克汉姆或者士家堡），说奥克兰我们住的地方跟佛里蒙一样，很安静，除了面孔大部分是黑人外，并没有感觉有多乱。
开车沿着湾区从机场上101过海湾大桥，再沿着880或者580南下，满眼看去山上山下全是各色的平顶房，大概都是上个世纪初建的房子，很丑。周末开车去看过几个open house，老的房子里面有股怪味，新的房子后院几乎没有，清一色的烧天然气的炉子，用这种炉子做饭很慢，至少我的体验是这样的，还是电炉好，而且这里的牌子基本都是kenmore或者whirlpool的，一点都不现代。
周末去coin laundry洗衣服，真是个耗时间的活，机器提示2：25洗一次，翻遍了兜也没找到1块的硬币，突然想起来美国没有1元的硬币，得用4个25美分的硬币，这一下子效率就低了4倍。美国真破，看偶们加国有1元的loonie，还有2元toonie，用起来那叫一个方便。
不过这里的生活用品和食品比加国都便宜些，没有便宜一半那么夸张，但少个1块2块很平常，比如free run的omega3的鸡蛋，1打12个3.5元，加国得上5-6块。Costco的烤鸡4.99，加国是6.99。有一个例外，就是油价，跟加国基本一样了，regular 4.4/gallon = 1.16 / litre。
在哪儿都不容易，刚刚在银行开了户申请了信用卡，重新攒信用吧。
