Last day of the trip

Date : 15 Jan

A week passed so fast when u really enjoy it =) On our last day of the trip, we were asked to come out with a short video presentation, to tell our own story and what we experienced in the whole week, using Flip video camera and Flip software.

Not much photo taken on last day, because some of the netriders need to leave at morning and some late night and the next day morning. For team Malaysia, our flight was around midnight. For the free time between 1pm till 9pm, we went to The Great Mall, Dave and Buster and also loitering around Hilton Garden Inn area. Its really a mixed of sad and happy feeling that night, happy because its really a nice trip, not much ppl got this chance in their life to visit Cisco HQ and San Jose, sad is when seeing everybody leaving with their luggage.

But, for sure we make new friendships, new real human network across the world now. Keep in touch Netriders !! Nice to meet you all =)

Google Day !! :P

Date : 13 Jan

3rd day of our trip here, today we will be going to visit Compliance Lab and Google !! ^^

Pics taken on the night we reached hotel, some of the Netriders.

remember the virtual receptionist i mentioned earlier? this is their workplace in call center ^^

1st stop @ Compliance Lab-> anechoic chamber, here all the cisco products will be tested for EMI to make sure it follows the EMI standards

the room is surrounded by carbon material

The "silent" room

at here, Cisco products will be tested to measure how much of noise it will make during operation.

its such a big lab, it have different section or department to test different things against different standards. at here we can see engineering knowledge and skills come into place in networking world =)

after our lunch, we head of to Google !! yeah.....

group pics

too bad we are not allow to take pics inside Google =(

Dinner @ Dave and Buster....

The trip so far has been interesting, and its getting more and more interesting. i like this because usually when we went for a trip, we will get bored after 3 or 4 days, but certainly not with Cisco and all the Netriders...hehehee, credit to Tracy, Bob and Charlie @ Cisco and all that involved in this trip. TQ so much..

Editing video for last day presentation =) thanks to Flip video cam.

Job shadowing was great, we get to follow different team/department to see what they do daily.

and visit to Stanford really opened up our eye, its a nice university with great network design, uplink of total 17Gbps man !! in order to support R&D that might need high BW.
