As some of you may know now. I'm in San Francisco for memorial day weekend. I wish i could extend my stay here cos my boss is away till friday but haha I'm already off 3 days next week for E3! So oh well two days in San Fran better make use of it eh.
First up. Wasted Saturday. I woke up late so i was scared ill miss my flight but then again john wayne is like 10 mins away....and unfortunately flight was delayed cos there was congestion at SFO because San Francisco was extremely foggy and only 1 runway was opened.
The one time i want to eat unhealthy food in San Fran and there was none at the airport. Airport was crowded..prettier than the last time ive been here. Only then i realised Virgin gates are in the international terminal. Virgin airline is awesome by the way. Plenty of leg space. Onboard wireless. Personal Screen. For just a 1 hr + flight! That's impressive Virgin Airlines <3 Except that everything couldn't really be enjoyed cos the flight was so short! But really. Super comfy. I wanted to doze off but before i could get some shut eye we were landing -_-'''.
So i reached pretty well into noon and made use of airport wireless to find my way to the hostel on the BART which is really like the MRT. Found my way downtown and it was already around 3. Took a nap cos i was really really tired so by the time i went out it was about 5.
Walked around powell st and union square area and westfield mall. This area isn't for me especially since im alone. So much shopping! i went to forever 21 to find some socks but i gave up cos there was so many people! there was just tons and tons of people around. I say this place is like a shorter NY smashed together with the feel of LA. By the time i finished this area it was getting late and i don't want to be caught outside at night :P so i went back to the hotel. Hopefully today will be more eventful~!
Overall I say San Francisco is more of my type a place than OC for sure But i prefer the scene of San Diego where the slight tranquility of Orange County is still there. And the fact that i don't feel so scared walking out in the middle of the night in San Diego But i don't feel comfy walking out past sunset here. Otherwise this place has a cool vibe! and good to lose weight! everyone is skinny here cos its hills galore!
Anyway I am gonna go explore Chinatown, Japantown and golden gate park today! hopefully Ill find my way well! See ya~
