Stanford

After we touched down, we spent some time running around like headless chickens before we finally found Weisheng. Then it was a smooth drive to Stanford.

Yeah, I never liked the sound of the place. Too elitist for my liking. But the campus is pretty damn amazing, both in size and appearance.

First there's a crazy long driveway up with palm trees lining the sides, which they must've spent like a gazillion dollars on. And then a huge circle leading up to the grand old buildings with grand old pillars like these:

I could never resist pillars. Then there were courtyards with cool-looking statues, which might've looked much cooler had they not been surrounded by fucking tourists.

Then they also have their own church, not that I'm a big fan of Christianity in general. It tends to fuck me over in the strangest ways, which will be explained in a later post.

For a guy who doesn't deal well with Christianity, I sure have an eye for religious imagery.

Anyway, yeah, the whole campus was ridiculous like that.

We spent the rest of the first day exploring the campus and an outlet mall. Hooray for consumerism!

No, I didn't have his phone number. It's kinda silly to run around campus yelling, "Richard Hu! Richard Hu!"

Or is he even called Richard?
