kensington提到的这几届中秋晚会偶全参加了，那个N年前的中秋晚会俺猜谜还得了个小
奖品，现在还留着呢。。。俺不是学生会的，但偶尔惨遭抓壮丁帮点零碎小忙，就俺知道
的情况来看，学生会的历届领导们都还是很有热情的，也做了很多事情，都是俺素来敬仰
的，因为大家都是用自己的业余时间来为大家服务，这里谁也不是闲人，都有课要上有作
业要做有MM/GG要泡……至于出现的各种问题，原因是多方面的，就俺觉得主要来讲有两
点，第一个是人气问题，N年前的中秋晚会节目就不多，但靠大家的热情撑下来了，俺至
今对QI主席LIU主席的景仰仍如滔滔江水……N-1年前因为完全没人报节目，就搞了聚餐，
N-2年前办舞会也有一部分是这个原因。俺觉得人气弱的原因，一是这里的中国留学生数
量一年比一年少，二是学生会发动群众的工作还不到家，这个地方有才能的GGMM其实挺多
，有不少同学有很棒的设计天赋、组织天赋、表演天赋，有的甚至达到专业水平，但没有
得到足够的动员。当然俺承认，群众工作是天底下最难做的工作之一，不然怎么只有共产
党得了天下呢……呵呵，扯远了。第二个是钱的问题， |

个变速的地方以后左手边有一条小路，好像还有个小桥。转上去以后听指示准备three-
turn然后开回来。出了test center右转，开了一段时间以后，左手转到一个叉路口，
three-turn然后开回来。 |

发帖数: 1582 | 9 我在DMV的网上预约，但ms搜索结果都是no exam available
这个路考真这么难约吗？还是online不管用要打电话？
我看了精华区想预约ALLISON PARK或NEW KENSINGTON
居然都没有空
有人知道这个空位是怎么个放法么？
网页上说每周二中午会加新的
那我是不是只要周二中午在网上守着就行了？
一般预约都是多久以后的？
看网上说只能约六周内，但考位似乎也太紧张了。。
要是一次没过再约下一次，很多次才通过的话，就得拖个半年一年
了？。。 |

发帖数: 817 | 26 请问在sunnyvale北面海湾附近的住房如何？
本人要四月分入住。Google上搜到附近有很多apartments
，比如 Shadows Apartments, Oakwood Mountain View, Tamarind Square，
Kensington Place Apartments，Summerhill Park, The Meadows, Morse Court
Apartments, Sunnyvale Town Center Apartments。 但看地图发现他们离机场(
Moffett Federal Airfield)挺 近。离San Jose 国际机场也不远。担心会很吵。也不
知是否安全。
在craigslist上有一些Sunnyvale南面house里single room的广告。房租要便宜
很多，但感觉有些远，也不知是否安全。

Q***N
发帖数: 2972 | 30 首先,我不是MM,是GG(实际是大叔). :-)
实际上东湾偏北的几个地区(Oakland Hill/Piedmont/Albany/Berkeley Hills/El
Cerrito Hill/Kensington)安全都没问题, 但去SOUTH SF都不方便. 主要是BAY BRIDGE
的交通在RUSH HOUR太糟,而且需要横穿SF市. ORINDA因为24公路的隧道,开车去的话更
费时些.
除了ALBANY不在山上,其它几个地方靠山的地方基本就是比较安全的居民区了.
去SOUTH SF,除非是公司有SHUTTLE去BART站接(这几个地方里BART站都不远),要不然的
话应该是SF市或半岛才是选择. 因为我也做CASTRO VALLEY,我遇到过2个SELLER卖房的
原因是2口子工作都转到了SOUTH SF. 也就是说CASTRO VALLEY到FOSTER CITY附近还可
以接受,但到SOUTH SF的DAILY TRAFFIC也让人受不了. |

发帖数: 2972 | 31 另外忘了说, BERKELEY HILLS/EL CERRITO HILLS是HAYWARD FAULT经过的地方.
BERKELEY的FOOTBALL体育馆好象是在FAULT的正上方, OAKLAND一带是沿着HIGHWAY 13 (
LAKE TEMESCAL)一直向南延伸到FREMONT.
BERKELEY HILL的VIEW大多数都被树挡住了, EL CERRITO HILLS/KENSINGTON的树少些,
有BAY BRIDGE VIEW的房子多很多.
另外,在BERKELY HILL/EL CERRITO HILLS和一小块的OAKLAND HILL买房需要留心
LANDSLIDE ZONE(泥石流区),不少房子都在LANDSLIDE ZONE里. SOIL ENGINEER的MAP基
本能精确到每个房子. 我问过他们,据说MAP的误差在半个房子左右,基本MAP上
LANDSLIDE ZONE相邻的房子也不能买.MAP是无数打点采样后绘制的. |
