YES! YES! YES! My long awaited time has arrived where I'm finally gonna see the city of San Francisco again. I must say it's one of my favourite cities in the world. The landscape and the culture it exudes is just fantastic. Maria, Samuel, Funing and Me took the train (called 'Bart') down to San Francisco today. I loved it from the moment I step foot on the city. The weather was just fine, cool and nice. It's a fine city without the over-crowding of New York. The landscape is just so interesting. It also houses the World's Most Winding Road! Our first stop was the Chinatown. Once you're in it, it seems like you're in China than the USA. I think it is probably the largest Chinatown in the world out of Asia! You can get anything Asian there; even the people walking around there are Asians. Maria told me these immigrants can live in this part of the city and never need to learn a sentence of English to get by. A really thriving Asian community. It seems to be more typically Asian than Singapore itself.

Next, we went to take the World-Renowed San Francisco Trolley to Fishermans Wharf. It is an experience equivalent to seeing the city itself. You can't say you've visited San Franciso if you haven't sat on the trolley. Like you can't go to France and not see the Eiffle Tower. Thoroughly enjoyable as you rail past the hilly streets with the Golden Gate Bridge in sight from time to time.

Lunch was our next called when we arrived at Fishermans Wharf. Wanting some good American fast food, we settled for "IN N OUT" Burger. If you have not tried that, put it down on your list if you ever to come to California. Everyone will tell you it's the best. A very simple menu of just hamburger or cheeseburger, fries, drinks and milkshakes. But the place is just simply packed with people. What's the catch? You can go for the doubles, triples, quads and even up to 6-7 times the patties on the burger. Also, the fries here aren't frozen. Freshly cut and fried on the spot. Samuel and I had the triple with fries and soda. And yes, a tip from the locals here, when ordering the burger, make sure you order it "Animal style". I can't really explain what it is, but is just a better way they prepare they burger with onions and stuff. No extra charge and free flow drinks. All American style.

To complete an American lunch, after a hearty meal at a fast food joint, it's time for something sweet. Just beside it, we have the "Cold Stone Creamery". Hmm... if you guys think it sounds like "Cold Rock Creamery" from Australia, well they carry exactly the same concept. Note the pun, "Cold Stone" and "Cold Rock", I'm not exactly sure who came first though. But 1 things for sure, the serving here is GIGANTIC! Check out the pics! Do you "Like it", "Love It" or "Gotta have it"? I had a love it with (of course) Reese's as my fillings with banana ice cream. Sweet!

Now to check out Fishermans Wharf. Besides all the seafood, the happening place is Pier 39. A really touristy but nice place just to shop around. Grab more food and lots of nice souvenirs! It also has the Chocolate Heaven "The Greatest Chocolate Store In The World". Pretty Impressive.

There was just so much to see. Before we left, we gotta have the seafood chowder soup in the sour dough bread. Too full from lunch, the 4 of us shared 1 bowl. The seafood just gotta wait for next time.

This was followed by a dinner invite to the home of another member of the Bo Family. Uncle Bo (youger brother of Brother Bo) and family invited us over for a really nice dinner. Another full-filling day!
