May 12th : San Fran

my room in pacific tradewinds, San Francisco, CA. Awesome room, as you can see.

Its hard to explain how Cantonese San Fran is. in fact, you dont really see many caucasians around. well at least those that exist are all pretty uptown. so there.

today was the touristy day.. fisherman’s wharf, golden gate, etc. have to try my best not to end up with touristy pictures.

trying my best to have an opiniated blog but im so tired these days that all i want to do is to just upload and go to bed. walking 8 hours a day does wonders towards your consciousness (or lack of it).

First up, the extremely touristy pier 39. eeks. nothing noteworthy, except the awesome chowder i had and also the sealions. gf said she wanted some, i’m throwing in some confused birds as well… hahaha..

 

Bird with an identity crisis, San Francisco, CA

Walking along the bay trail i’ve gained a huge appreciation for the bay. naturally, san francisco was seen as a crucial bay for control of the west coast, due to its location and all that.

i must say, it’s hard not to fall in love with san francisco bay. a mist drapes over the water due to the air condensing over the cold water, which periodically thickens into a fog. the bay reaches out into the water, although it never quite intrudes on the water’s privacy. sea lions take leisurely swims, and there’s seafood. The hilly place is hard to get around but it’s the way most girls like things anyway, so pretty but so impractical. There’s very little to dislike about this place…

One of my main purposes of this blog is to not end up doing 1001 touristy things. I mean i do have alot of postcard pictures, but that really defeats the point if you ask me. at least on this blog, im trying to present a side of each city that’s not likely to end up on a card or on a website, just a different perspective of things. I also hope that my pictures will say something about the place, although i dont suppose that i could actually manage to characterise a town in 2 days.

till tomorrow, ciao!
