Back to the real world
Well, I guess it's back to the real world for me, returning to some version of a daily routine. Only this daily routine involves palm trees and nice weather. Once in the office however, may you be in Bogota, Singapore, London, or Santa Monica, you're in a standard cubeville design with climate control. The only real differences are the people who walk in and out of the elevator every day. I'm not really implying anything negative here, since the very standardness of the universal workplace design is pretty much what enables me to work here just as efficiently as in Toronto. I guess it was the lack of culture shock that shocked me.
Anyway, I lucked out on my starting day, I will be going to New York City for a company function through most of next week. I'm looking forward to checking out the Big Apple, since I extended my stay to over the weekend. The last time I was there must have been 3 years ago, and it was a short one-day tour. I'm sure bodaciousness shall ensue.

LOL. You're just all over the U.S., aren't you? :) Have a good time in NY - I've never been but want to go sometime.
(Are the other co-workers going with you young and fun? e.g. will there be partying involved? :)
Haha...I always imagined the Californians would be more laid back. You know, sipping on their starbucks latte and typing out their reports in the sun.
New York is so full of energy. You'll love the city.
Make sure you got to Dean and Deluca in Soho (it's a coffee shop with a deluxe supermarket??)!

I'm going to be going with some pretty cool guys from work to NYC, they're young, and pretty close to my age, which is like, awesome. (You see? I'm picking up the Cali accent already!)
Oh and the laid back attitude, well I guess that's more Bay area, they're really laid back. And somewhat in the OC as well. LA people tend to party hard, I've noticed.
