 I loved Chinatown! Jul 05, 2008
Chinatown was on the list of things I had to see and experience while in San Fran. And so I did, with the help of the little book we had, we went on a walk through Chinatown and it was as good as I thought it would be.
I've only seen it in movies and shows, but being there in person was great! The buildings are so cool. The place holds a lot of history and the shops were pretty awesome. There are some great murals and some pretty old churches. Imagine a fortune cookie factory! I was in heaven... This is a must see!  Part of the The hills are alive in San Fran! travel blog

The biggest Chinatown I ever visited! Mar 11, 2008
I really love Chinatowns, because I am interested in how Chinese people in other cities or countries live. Although I understand that most local Chinese people do not go to their Chinatowns anymore nowadays, it is still a must-do thing for me.
San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest one in North America (or maybe in the whole world)! Everything there was very Chinese to me. You can find a lot of places for dimsum, pastries and souvenirs. It was pretty safe to walk around, even at night.

This is a really cool area of SF to walk around. In the daytime, it is
always bustling with people and there always seems to be something going on. There are tons of little shops selling everything from silk pillowcases to live chickens, and it's fun to just walk around and browse. The food here is probably among the cheapest you'll find in SF and there are countless dim sum places where you can pop in and grab a quick bite to eat. The markets and grocers here are also very cool and sell exotic fruits and vegetables that you rarely see. The main part of Chinatown is along Grant Ave. but I've found if you head over one block to Stockton, the streets are less crowded with tourists and the shops seem more authentic. |

JP, Patrick and I went for Dim Sum in Chinatown at some place that I think was called Golden Mountain. Have you ever noticed that you can basically make a random name generator for Chinese Restaurants? Like, watch... Pick a word from column A:
Gold…Chinatown Classic.
Chinatown has some great stores for FOB fashion though. Dude, these shirts crack me up.
Exhibit 1: Tshirt saying "Cal State San Marcos"
Exhibit 2: Tshirt with Britney Spears' photo saying "Fantasize the Youth. Years an eye several decadesesesLed the fine youth imperceptably… Chinatown! FOB Fashion! Dim Sum! |

Don't pay attention to the title, because we actually sat on the mass transit for at least an hour or two. The metro there stops at every street corner it seems, and possibly multiple times at every storefront. It honestly is probably as…Chinatown- which was REALLY cool! The main street seemed expensive and touristy, so we ventured over one block and found the REAL Chinatown! The one with crazy fruits/vegetables and whole dried fish sitting in baskets outside the store. We stopped in a bakery… Walked for 8 hours all over San Francisco |

Olin ajatellut tuhlaavani loput rahani, mutten tuhlannut yhtään.
San Franciscossa ei näyttänyt olevan yhtään kiinnostavaa kauppaa.
