Stanford university

One of the best university in the world.

Top private university in California.

Stanford is easily accessible from throughout San Francisco Bay area.

Stanford is located in Palo Alto and is in the heart of "Silicon Valley".



Every time visiting Stanford I was completely taken by the campus.

I love roman-style buildings. It is the best gorgeous campus I have ever been.

Stanford is not only famous for beautiful campus, it is also famous for Rodin's sculpture.

You can touch and enjoy great masterpieces.


This is an obvious difference between US and colleges in Korea. All the lawns and arts in Korea keep out of the public.

Go Stanford graduate school??

Trail1 Sowol-gil

Walking on the Sowol-gil(street) is my favorite trail.

In Fall season, thousands of yellow leaves shed on the Sowol-gil and this street is famous for its fall beauty.

Every night, you can see buildings on Hangang-ro street and Hangang Bridge in the distance.





Seeing with naked eyes gives you much better night view.





Walking from the Namsan library to Hyatt hotel is my recommendation. (i mean Hyatt direction, not to Hyatt hotel)

Redwood national park

I camped in Redwood national park which has been designated a world heritage site. Personally, I was fully satisfied with the camp. You know, without experience there is no way to know how Americans stay in and manage a national park. Camping for days under huge trees was great.



Redwood national park is located in northern California. The park is famous for tallest and massive trees on Earth. Some trees are over 110m. The majestic trees make up California's Redwood national park.



US 101 passes through the park which is 550km north of San Francisco. One of the scenic route US 101 runs along the Pacific coast of the United States and the scenery is somewhat primitive in comparison with CA-1 route's.



Somewhat more humid than South California and pretty chilly even in Summer. We had to gather firewoods at night.
