So that was the last day of our visit in star sparkling San Francisco where we haven't found any flowers to wear in our hair. But for this time we went to the last company. LinkedIn. We were supposed to go to the Wordpress but they kind of back of it. (And there is a reason for me to continue using blogger and not wordpress).
I have to say, LinkedIn was one of the best companies that we visited during this week. I guess that the Danes most appreciated the fact that our guide was half danish. On the other hand one could complain about the company since he would understand.
He showed us around, all the offices, teach us a bit more about LinkedIn and it's goals that they will try to reach any time soon... and the greatest thing, brought us to free lunch. Now I'm not saying it because I would suffer by hunger or anything, but all the googlers and facebook people keep saying how great it is to have gym and food for free but at the same time: "don't even think that you'll get that free food though, that is just for us". But I get the point, clearly you cannot feed every visitor. Even though you don't have that many of them.

As I mention in previous blog post, we didn't really have that much to do there cause we visited basically everything we could, including all kinds of touristic trap. So I went for some souvenirs, rest of the class went for some clothes I guess according to how our room looked like when I came back. Well lets be honest, I also wanted to shop cause they have totally different cloths than in Denmark. And when I say different I mean colorful and not just black/grey things.
That didn't work out for me. More or less because since my Sri Lankan trip I'm afraid to buy anything that says "made in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cambodia... insert another south-east asian country". So I kind of run away from that store.
The high peek of the day was supposed to be dinner in Cheesecake factory. Or as I know them "the company where Penny from the Big bang theory used to work". Yeah. They suck. Not because of the food that is quite ok, although my ambitions for eating their burger must have been bigger that my mouth cause my god I'm not snake to open mouth like this!

The main reason why we kind of suffer over there was the reservation. Once you are over 20 people, you need to reserve table. In US, once you are people, you need to reserve... So we did reserve the table on seven pm. Guess when we get to sit down to that table? 20.15. The most impatient of us was I think Marianne, who kept going around the restaurant guessing which table could we possibly get and once she found that, at some point she even ask whether they already paid, cause at that point we had been waiting for one hour. That seemed to be most un-danish thing she have ever done. Also most bravest thing anyone that evening done. But of course she was told of by the waitress cause "this is not what we do here". But what they do there is keep 20 people waiting for more than hour and than ask for the tip.
I was so glad that I'm leaving on the next day....
