LOL I say that every time I see a CA license plate here.
Anywho, enjoy your stay here Rick. I hope it's a great experience for you.
As many have stated so far, buying a hair dryer and such at Walmart or Target is your best/cheapest bet. They also have cell phone chargers that should fit your Razor. The generic ones are less than $20 USD. Your prepaid Visa is definitely the best idea. If you're interested in having a temp bank account while you're here I would go with a credit union since their fees and such are generally cheaper than the larger banks. I'm sure once you meet a few folks at UCSD they can point you in the right direction as far as things to do/see. Lots of food to try as others have mentioned. Try everything that looks good that you can afford. The locals at the school could offer a lot of local places, I'm sure. Always be aware of people and your surroundings. Just like anywhere else there are scam artists and not so good people.
Most of all.......HAVE FUN!!!
