Snippets from articles about Google expansion to Diridon Station

a collection of land and former industrial lots in downtown San Jose, just 10 miles east of Apple’s glittering new campus, has attracted so much attention. Google, the new owner, has plans for something transformative. The tech giant’s desire to continue its   aggressive expansion in the area   and build a new corporate village adjacent to Diridon Station, a decades-old rail station, isn’t important because of cutting-edge design:   it may end up stretching over 50 acres and being twice as large as Apple’s new HQ, accommodating 15,000 to 20,000 employees.

Google’s plans may turn Diridon Station—an expanding transit hub with a   high-speed rail stop   in the works—into the Grand Central of the west. The move could catalyze an e...

When people build their homes, the  main door  or the entrance is always facing the East.  The ideal home [based on  Indian culture ], the  front door  should face  east  and the back door should face west, because the sun rises in the  east  and sets in the west. The main  doorway will ideally face the  east , but it can face  north  or west. (Facing south is least desirable.) if your home entrance faces east, it is said that its ruling planet sun makes the owner of the house ambitious, courageous as we...

Lv dao xiao ye qu Green Island Serenade Lyrics Vienna Teng with the Chinese character only (No Pinyin, No English): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHQaUCsq0YM (Warning: Vienna Teng's version is hard to follow for Mandarin-learners because Vienna softly enunciates and plays around with the slowness and quickness of the syllables.)
