Teresa was visiting Silicon Valley for the first time, the legendary birthplace of many high-tech companies.
Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Byte Company... they were all here, and Teresa started looking around curiously as soon as she got out of the car.
Silicon Valley's first impression on her wasn't as grand as she had imagined, with its ubiquitous tan walls and red rooftops.
The buildings were generally only a few stories high, and with their vibrant exteriors, a strong California style hit her in the face.
Teresa was somewhat surprised; she had always thought Silicon Valley would be like Seattle, with beautiful glass curtain skyscrapers.
But it wasn't until she stood here that she realized how approachable Silicon Valley was.
Yes, Silicon Valley's impression on her was not just the intense California style, but also the relaxed and free atmosphere that was lively all around her.
