I know statistics are like bikini - what they reveal is interesting, but what they do not is even more interesting! So, I am not trying to generalize anything about the place. Just wondering about your personal opinions/experience!

Yes, Silicon Valley nightlife is rather dull for a large metro area.

My opinion is that it is because the area is full of techies. Also, it's because there are a lot of immigrants from other countries whose lives pretty much revolve around immediate and extended family.

Thanks for this article, which pretty much sums up my observations of the area and the statements that I have been making here on this forum.

I know many students from Monta Vista (white and asian) who say that article is bull.

i went to MV around 2000, and i wouldn't say its bs. they might have exaggerated it a little bit, but its definitely grounded in fact.
