yk - enjoyed your report very much. I may try the cityscapes tour when I'm there in September. Just wondering, is Dublin near Palo Alto?

Hi Cpg, Dublin is in the East Bay. Palo Alto is on the peninsula south of San Francisco about 30 miles. Dublin is around a 45 minute drive from Palo Alto.

abranz, it didn't become Westfield Centre until the expansion. It wasn't originally owned or developed by Westfield - it was owned and developed by Sheldon Gordon and then sold to Forest City enterprieses, another shopping center developer, and then sold to Westfield.

cpg, I don't remember what yk said about Dublin, but you would have no reason in the world to go there. It's just a far-distant suburb of San Francisco. Think car dealers, office parks, and chain stores.

Yup, I agree there's no reason to head out to Pleasanton/Dublin. The reason I went was because my relatives live out there, and the Koi Gardens is a convenient Chinese restaurant nearby (with very good food). The Koi empire has a much larger restaurant in Daly City called Koi Palace. I hear that place is ridiculously popular, and dim sum is very good there too.

Thanks. I'm not going, but it would be helpful if I looked at a map, don't you think?
