We arrived in San Francisco after spending about 6 hours on a Jetblue plane. Jetblue is a low-cost airway but it provides more legroom and free meal. we paid about $120 for the flight. a good bargain to me XD we stayed at
Green Tortoise Hostel which was a way better place to stay at compared to the one in NYC. San Francisco is the best of all the cities I've been to in the country! XD
slopes everywhere =.="
had dim sum at one of the shops in Chinatown
Chinatown! :D
another street in Chinatown
The Dragon Gate
Grant Avenue (i think xp) at night
be glad. the city's got lots of zero-emission buses XD
adjacent to Chinatown is another tourist spot known as Union Square
The Bay Bridge. It's double storeyed!
The Lombard Street famously known as the crookedest street in the world
a close-up shot to show how crooked the street is lol
nice view :)
Pier 39
There are lotsa shops and restaurants at Pier 39
a few miles away from Pier 39 is a place called Fisherman's Wharf
the Chestnut Street, located just a few streets from Fisherman's Wharf
i like this place ^.^
another shot
and another one
top of the world!
...and yet another one. we climbed hills this high to get to Lombard Street >.<
this is the last one kaka
ah~ the Golden Gate Bridge. we gave up going all the way to the Golden Gate Park where we could take a close-up shot of the bridge. I guess we got fed up of walking lol
The Alcatraz at a distant. This beach is kinda strategic huh? we could take pictures of two famous attractions at a time
The Palace of Fine Arts. pretty near to the beach where we took pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge
Japantown in San Francisco!
lotsa Japanese restaurants can be found here
it's the largest Japantown in the States
The Peace Pagoda
another shot
another view of the town
had lunch at the Japan Center Kintetsu Mall
ancient cable car. pay about $5 for a ride. we didn't do that of course haha
this is called a streetcar, providing transportation service to certain parts of the city. we got on the car to get to Pier 39
on our final day in San Francisco, we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant which I assumed was quite famous as I saw pictures of famous celebrities on the wall. the food was not bad really
