When I was around 8 or 9, my Dad would travel occasionally on consulting assignments in Europe, Asia and the US. When I was around 12, cousins and aunts on both sides of the family migrated to the US. Since then, I was kind of dreaming that someday I, too would have a chance to go abroad, even go to the US and see my relatives again. When I was in my 20′s even my sister left for Canada! So you could imagine how much I wanted to be there as well. On my first job, I started as a Programmer Trainee for three months. During this time, I would always hear about our more senior staff getting hired and leaving for the US. It even got to the point where the President of our company gathered everyone for a meeting to talk about it. He basically told us that he also lived and worked there himself. He then told us what are the pros and cons of living in another country. Nevertheless no one really took his warnings seriously. In short, all the senior programmers and analysts left eventually. On the meantime, our current batch was already starting to wonder how we could also land a job ourselves. Pretty soon we found out we didn’t really need to look further. Every now and then someone would spread the word that Mr. so and so would be at this certain hotel having a talk and of course would be collecting resumes. This happened quite regularly, some recruiters came from Singapore but most of them were from the US.(...)

Are they barren or are they lush? These trees are extremely unique and they thrive in the desert. This huge national park located in Southeastern California, around 2 hours from LA is surely worth your visit. The attraction is not just the trees but the also the stone mountains.  When I was there mountainers or rock climbers visit the park in droves and they do group practices there.
