Well just in case u wanna check it out: Genki Crepe. Don't say I didn't warn you, it is very addictive. Yum yummmm
Their wonderful house is situated up high on a hill that overlooks South SF, with the most serene and peaceful surroundings. *Envious* I could totally picture myself sitting out at the balcony, sipping my favorite ginger milk tea, watching the magnificent view of the sun setting in the background.
Fun fact: Vince claimed that papaya salad is not a Thai traditional food but Laos.
We were greeted by sounds of the waves and definitely cold ocean breeze the moment we get off the bus. As we walk closer to the shore, we began to see stunning views of the waves crashing on the cliffs and rocks. The most appealing part however, was the Sutro Bath ruins which looked like a cool little maze.
We quickly made our descent to the ruins to get a closer look of it. It turned out that it could really be a cool little playground. Yes, it was so little that even S-sized creature like me had to squeeze my way through those small little openings to get to the inside.
We explore further into a cave but back out halfway as the sun is already gone and none of us brought a flashlight. We decided to detour upwards to catch the view of the
The view from the top of the street is still takes my breath away like it did 2 years ago. The only difference is I am at ease this time. I just knew that I had to come back here to finally have a better feeling of the place. No stress, no rush, no anger.
As we walk downhill and up again, admiring the scenic view of the city and those tastefully decorated houses, we could not help but sympathize with dwellers along the street. Always swamp with herd of noisy tourist chattering while descending the street or those that stood in the driveway snapping their very own photo memorabilia. But still, I would take any of these houses within a heartbeat. The great view of the place will definitely take the pain away. 
Earlier the day, I had the chance to visit the kinda secretive location of Lucas Film. I was lucky that Justin is an intern. Else, I would have just walked pass the
Got to tour the production office but had no luck with pictures as it is strictly prohibited. Did not get anything from the gift shop as I was never a Star Wars fan. Nevertheless, playing with the light saber is still a fun experience.
Despite rapid gentrification, the neighborhood still retains its hippy charm. The Victorians here are by far more colorful and creatively decorated than others around the city. The bold and daring designs clearly edges out the much raved about Painted Ladies. If only these houses has a view of the city as well, guess Haight district would replace
Took a bus down to the neighboring Japantown right after to get ourselves a well deserve dinner after that long shopping workout. Apart from the Peace Pagoda and food, the place looked similar to any ordinary neighborhood. Still, the ramen is Ooosshhiiii!
Another warm sunny day in the city. I wonder where the fog went. Have yet to see the fog since weekend. With such nice weather, it is definitely a day for the outdoors and photos! It really did not take us long to figure out where to go. Popular wedding photo spots = beautiful photos and in SF, the 
Apparently the whole structure was built just for an expo, to show off to the world that SF has ‘recovered’ from the earthquake of 1906. The temporary structure was so well liked that the people decided to rebuilt and make it permanent.
Never get to explore the grounds before as it was fenced up for renovation the previous times that I droved by. The walk around the place is so therapeutic. I can almost feel my blood pressure drop. What a nice place to just sit down, relax and breathe in the breeze. That’s what we did, but only after taking gazillions of pictures round the ground. Lol.
Although the place is pretty and looks all new after the renovation, I could not say the same about the lake. It reminds me of those canals in 
I must confess that although the parade which stemmed from the stone wall riot back in the 1960’s is supposed to be the main highlight of the event, I am more interested in checking out the stalls and the stages for performances. There is like an Asian Pacific, Latin American, S&M (ouch) and money other different pavilion set up around the civic center. Who knows People spotting, grabbing goodies, getting autographs and watching performances could be so fun! And this is especially true when big names like Boa performing.
Can I say that the weather was like soooo hot that day? Too hot for a place for SF but oh well, I kinda like it that way this time around. Hehe.
Upon reaching the base of the tower, we found out that the view is kinda inferior to the 
Although hiking up the Telegraph Hill is a no no, taking the steps down is a whole different story. Walking down the Filbert steps is such a relaxing experience. Nice quaint houses with the Bay as the backdrop. What could be more relaxing right? We were told that the view is just as nice down the
Spent some time shopping for souvenirs around Chinatown. Its always fun to look for cheap and sometimes useless decorative things here. And hey, we gotten ourselves some pretty nice bouba drinks. Hehe.
We finally gave up and took another shuttle to the airport. Yes, we were rushing again to board the plane like the year before, only this time to find out that the flight was delayed due to severe thunderstorm and lightning in the vicinity. Oh wait, I remember that. A thunderstorm actually delayed my flight from landing in Vegas back in 2006. Still remember than painful 3 hours delayed that turned the whole trip into a chaos back then. The delay however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise this time around as I get to win a couple more bucks from the slot machine while waiting for my plane to board. :D
On arrival to
The Orchard Hotel down at
