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! T...

The Golden Gate Bridge is obviously a must-see attraction in San Francisco. A friend and I decided to bike all the way to the bridge. It was very windy that day and the wind kept pushing me back. When we finally arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge, I was so exhausted that I decided not to bike any fur...

It really depends on what you want to do. Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are the touristy areas but are pretty fun to check out anyway.They are great place to get lunch or dinner with really fresh seafood. I like Alioto's for lunch or dinner. From that area you can also take a tour to Alcatraz. Union...

Nestled in the middle of Golden Gate Park, the De Young is San Francisco's largest and most famous fine arts museum. Housed in a earthy meets industrial looking copper-plated building, it's decidely more modern than the more classic Legion of Honor, SF's other fine arts museum. Personally, I prefer ...

Bernal Heights overlooks the Mission, but on a clear day you can see much much more than that. When we went it got really foggy as we went higher. This reduced the view but added a fabulous spooky feel. As you walk along the top, there's one place where you can look out and see several teirs of land...

Because the Lombard Street is so famous, I went to take a look. I took the wrong cable car and ended up at the bottom of the street. It was actually not that bad, because at the bottom of the street you can take nice pictures of cars coming down the street. When I walked up the stairs to get to the ...

If you have been on this planet for a few years you are aware that a giant, very steep hill is right in the middle of San Francisco. To tackle the public transportation problems involved with this hill San Francisco in it's early days decided to build a cable car system that would pull the trolley c...

I don't really go to Japantown except to get my hair cut (Comsa/Art'y on Post street, yay!). Mostly Japantown's kind of a big mall with specialty stores and this japanese looking tower thingy, but that said it does have some cool stores. You can buy some hello kitty accessories for tricking out your...
