In San Francisco now where everything is beautiful, food is delicious and butter is cheap. The weather is cool too even though it's summer and I have a lovely view in front of my window while writing this as I'm staying with my Aunt and jazz music is playing in the background.
So far, I have only been to San Francisco city once and that was looking for a Lake Tahoe tour (but not finding any) and haven't done much touristy stuff as my Aunt has been busy with after dinner guests. But hey, I'm heading towards Yosemite in 2 days time and later on going to Monterey Bay . And, I finally managed to satisfy my Costco white chocolate macadamia cookies cravings and now have one whole box sitting on the kitchen table. Not to mention eating the sweetest cherries anyone could find from SF Chinatown. In case you haven't figure it out, yup I have been putting on a lot of weight.
I just realised that it's kinda weird being on the same time as most of the people I'm following on tumblr.
Next Day Post:
Well, I had cut short writing the day before because I was too tired and was chatting on Skype. So now onto what I did today which was where I did the touristy things by going down to San Francisco city and visiting Fisherman Wharf. I also went to see a play done by the people from Delancey Foundation and can I just say how amazing they were? It was fantastic for an amateur play and the costumes were pretty and the acting was entertaining to boot.
Walking down Fisherman Wharf I think I managed to see all the types of people I usually watch on shows: goths, bikers and sexy spanish guys were just the beginning. What's more I got to eat sweet crabs and al dante cook to perfection lobster pasta. I also think I never ate muscles so fast before and to top it all off, the famous Ghirardelli chocolate ice-cream sundae made everything seemed so wonderful.
Next, I finally saw the famous alcatraz together with the most crooked road in the world (Lomboard Street) . And can I just say SF hills are super steep that it seems I'm getting on the Battlestar Galactica roller coster ride back home. The next stop was UC Berkeley where my mum went through the shock of her life as she realised all her old hangout places is gone (gone, gone). The only thing remaining was the clock tower where we took a picture that was taken nicely by a very friendly freshmen (I love college students, they're super warm and sociable!). When we went to this store to buy some waffles, there was this cashier who could talk about everything to every one and he mistaken me for the student there and I was like, nah it's my mum who was a student and he was like "yeah, I hope everything was the same." My mum vividly shook her head.
To end off the night, my aunt brought her to this lovely Vietnamese place where I finally ate my Bun again! It wasn't as good as Vietnam of course, but I remembered why I loved is so much compared to pho and really missed those Vietnam days.
Well I got to end here, it's nearly 12 and I got to wake up at a godforsaken time to go to Yosemite. Until then!
I'll probably post pictures some other day.
