Gau Poang is a local Chinese food restaurant in San Mateo. I had the pressure of eating here. The restaurant is located just cross street from our Prudential California Realty office. I'm a regular here and always order my favorite dish Mongolian beef; I usually order mild, so the food has a good spicy taste but is not too hot. They already know what are my favorite dishes, but today for lunch I ordered beef with vegetables and steam rice. The meat was cooked just right the way I like it and the vegetables were crispy and fresh. The service was great and the food came very fast and as usual very tasty and fresh. The waiters were very attentive and refilled our tea and water. Gau Paong prices are reasonable. Definitely head to Gau Poang Chinese restaurant in San Mateo for lunch or dinn... 03/22/2010

When looking for a farmer's market in San Mateo California to purchase fresh organic produce, make sure you visit College of San Mateo Farmer's Market.    This is good farmer's market, because it has plenty of parking and easy to find. It is conveniently   open every Wednesday and Saturday, but on Saturdays, it gets a little busier than Wednesdays. This farmers' market has become one of my favorite markets in the bay area. What I like are the fresh salads, fruits and the French bread. Usually the same vendors are there every week, so you get to know them by name. There is one vendor that I usually visit during winter because it fresh peanuts and it great prices.  We have several farmers' markets in different location here in San Mateo County and around the San Francisco Bay Area.   Here... 03/16/2010

How can we help Haiti? I just turned on the TV this morning and the first thing I saw was the Earthquake tragedy in Haiti. After seeing these depressing images I though what can I do to help other than contribute with a donation. The only thing that came to my mind was, to seek help from our Active Rain network. I am from the Dominican Republic, so Haitians are our neighbors even though I have never had the opportunity to visit Haiti but I known their history of poverty and all the tragedy that the Haitian people has been gone through. If you are looking for a way to help, the best way and most effective is to contribute with cash President Obama Haiti Earthquake Relief Update The earthquake has devastated segment of the city and knocked out telephone communications throughout the count... 01/16/2010
