- If you're a person that has lived on the east coast mostly all of your life.. and thought that California was the land of sunshine and beautiful people.. (thanks to the countless tv shows depicting Orange County) well, you're only half right.. it's not the case up here in North California. And this is how i'm experiencing it.

Starbucks bar

Isn't this cool.. A starbucks with a 6-seater bar table in front of where baristas work. I'm in the first starbucks in asheville, nc. Back when it first opened, the hippies (probably) spraypainted the brick wall of the starbucks bldg that said in black paint "GET OUT". Heh. They're just scared, that's all..

And in all of the starbucks here in ?8 that I've been to already.. They always ask "where do you work at?" I tell em California and they get 'amazed'. The ppl in california don't usually react that way.. Well at least not during my visits. I tell the baristas in NC to go to south california. Not up north.

And if you don't know about what asheville is like.. Well, its in the same category as Eureka.. There are hippies and environmentalists here, but they're more nicer, friendlier, civilized, educated, and hospitable to tourists and locals. Eureka is totally the opposite. The climate here totally kicks ass too. :)
