USA 2009- San Francisco- Day 12

this was the very fantastic thai restaurant we had dinner the night before.

On board the cable car.

we alighted at Chinatown for lunch.

cheap cherries, but not as nice as those found in other places, prices really play a part in the quality of things you get.

very yummy dim sum at a random restaurant in Chinatown, the restaurant is run by staff from Guangdong and are all cantonese speaking.

they have a few shops in Chinatown selling mandarin/cantonese movies/dramas as well as porn!

NORTH BEACH- San Francisco's 'Little Italy' is just a stone's throw away from Chinatown.

There are many quaint little cafes here.

Bay Bridge

Coit Tower

Famous Ghirardeli chocolate

This is a must-try when you visit Ghirardeli, it's awesome!~

Lombard Street- the crookedest street in the world.

Check out the winding road.

Dinner at Lori's

the burgers are HUGE and very juicy

Our shopping loot!

USA 2008- DAY 11 (Los Angeles/San Francisco)

Our Los Angeles accomodation (feels like Pasir Ris chalet to me)

after we checked out, we saw some very vibrant activities going on opposite and decided to cross over to check it out.

Farmer's market!!

Santa Monica hosts Southern California’s local farmers at four separate markets on three days. Each of these Farmer’s Markets is an event more than an errand. In addition to the fresh, organic produce and cut flowers, artisanal cheeses and gourmet breads, the markets offer live music, chef exhibitions and many free samples. The Sunday market also offers pony rides and face painting.

The one happening in my pictures are at Main Street, happens on every Sunday between 9.30am-1pm.

Back at San Francisco (we took Southwest airlines from LA to SF)

We stayed at MAXWELL HOTEL (a mini boutique hotel on Geary Street), right at Union Square! (i got this hotel randomly from priceline)

i went mad in OLD NAVY!

we had dinner in this BANGKOK restaurant found in Union Square, it serves really FANTASTIC Thai food, staff were all Thai too.

the feeling of having spicy tomyum soup while the weather outside is freezing cold is simply great.

this is by far the BEST Pad Thai i have ever tried, so fragrant and the taste is just unforgettable!
