San Francisco/Oakland/Alameda

Above is a picture of SF in Legoland, This is where I will be next week. (In SF, not legoland) On a business trip. I am kinda glad I am skippin town next week. I am also gonna be at Jonathan and amanda's wedding on Friday. I hope that SoCal won't miss me too much. I am sure it won't. The funny thing about being gone for a week is that I finnaly a have my freedom from my tryniacal pops yet I won't be here. I will he up north. One of the perks about being a travelling sales man is that I get to leave once in a while. Away from the daily grind and in a new environment.

Since I am gonna be in Berkeley, you can be sure that I will visit Top Dog. I have one of their T-shirts.(thanks to Andycalbear) I am sure you've seen me wearing it.

Does it make you wonder why someone would want to live in SF. I think that SF is pretty cool and all. But I think it is a bit over rated. I love many things about that city. Especially their China Town.

There is a restaurant called House of Nanking. I kid you not, their food is Da Bomb. They are a small hole in the wall chinese restaurant. They serve you on metal plates. But you certainly don't go there for the ambiance. I have never been to a Chinese restaurants where the service was great. They pretty much throw their food at you. But the owner of the place is pretty cool. If you've never been there, and you see the owner, ask him to recomend somethin' and it is a winner.

But outside "the city"(as the Norther Californians like to say it), there is nothing else..... So once you get sick of "the City" (as if it was the only city in the world) it's over. How about their dreaded sports teams. Giants and Niners. Not too far away they have the Sac Queens. I hate them all with a passion. I really do. Oakland is Ok. They have the Faiders and the A's. But it's ghetto. So there it is. Why anyone wants to live there is beyond me. No parking and expensive. Yuck. But they do have the BART(Bay Area Rail Transit).[update] It is Bay Area RAPID not rail Transit. Some real cool person told me so.

The only thing that I am really jealous of. But its cool.

Final Say
I LOVE LA/oc!
