BART Station, San Francisco, CA. Looks like city hall MRT right, lol…
Away from the sheer impossibility of vegas, San Francisco lay an hour and a half west by plane, over the spectacular snow-tipped mountains of Yosemite. I wasn’t able to plan a trip down, although I would have really loved to. Such a pity.. Looking at the winding ridges poking up above the billowing clouds, you can’t help but feel that an opportunity has passed, by you choosing not to go.
A 8 dollar, half-hour ride by BART brings you into the heart of Downtown San Fran. The main thoroughfare street, Market Street evokes images of Chicago in me. Bustling skyscrapers still holding onto some historical decorative marker, with streets that feel alot more modular than thought-out, San Fran has alot that one would call the typical american “big city”.
Looking down Nob Hill, San Francisco, CA. The island in the middle is Alcatraz.
What sets it apart, though, it that it’s really very much like singapore. a small peninsula close to oakland and san jose, its huge bay and access to the ocean means that SF grew up first and foremost as a port city. (sound familliar?). To this day, Pier 39 remains one of the most touristy places on this Planet. (PAP, are you listening?) As a result, the place really has a Bay-ish, hill-ish city feel to it.

I only managed to set out at 5pm, this means that I only had a few hours of sun to work with. Let me just finish with today’s set of photos and I can get down to actually seeing stuff around tomorrow. This place is so steep, they have to constantly remind people how to park on a slope without taking out a whole row of cars.
