Lessons for Future Scholars Part 1

Hello guy,
big stop news!!!!!
Today, we’ve finally rented two cars:





a Dodge Caliber

and a Kia Rio



For the first time in my life I drove a car with automatic gears, it was a really strange sensation. I couldn’t take the left leg and the right hand stopped and I hope I will be comfortable quite soon also with this kind of cars.

Now… move on…
I believe that this blog must be an open window on our life here in Santa Clara helping in this sense people reading this blog to understand why we are here and what we are doing. But at the same time since we are a sort of pioneers in this project I also believe that we should leave as much as possible useful information to the posterity.


So I want to point out here a list of essential things to do once the next generation of the BEST students will arrive here in US:

  1. Open a Bank Account
    this is not essential but help a lot, The Italian Bancomat doesn’t work here and this is the only way to have the ATM (the equivalent of bancomat here in US).
  2. DSL connection and telephone
    The first is absolutely indispensable, the second can be avoided.
  3. Buy a USA Mobile

    This is really useful you can communicate with everybody at acceptable fare
    NB: In US you pay both when you call than when you receive a telephone call




    …See you next week guy
    with the second part of the list.

Have a nice week
Abramo

Ciao Abramo,
it's a great idea to compile a list of recommendations for future fellows, you should also prepare Word document and update it regularly. I believe we should do the same thing with meetings you had and you will have, providing a bit of background and contact info on each individual. Why don't you take the lead on this project?
