A Visitor’s Guide to Silicon Valley

If you’re a visiting dignitary whose country has a Gross National Product equal to or greater than the State of California, your visit to Silicon Valley consists of a lunch/dinner with some combination of the founders of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Twitter and several brand name venture capitalists. If you have time, the president of Stanford will throw in a tour, and then you can drive by Intel or some cleantech firm for a photo op standing in front of an impressive looking piece of equipment.

This post offers things to see/do for two types of visitors: "I’m just visiting and want a ‘tourist experience’" (i.e. a drive by the Facebook / Google / Zynga / Apple building) or "I want to work in the valley" visitor who wants to understand what’s going on inside those buildings.
