SaN francisco Day 1 & 2
















San Francisco is SOOO beautiful. After visiting UC Berkeley, i suddenly regretted choosing USC for my exchange program. Not tat i dun like USC or wad, but UC Berkeley has a beautiful compound. Its definitely a place u wont dread going to everyday. On top of that, Berkeley town is a nice, quiet and peaceful neighbourhood with a hint of warmness. I love it!
I arrived at Sanfrancisco and took a train to meet Ronnie at the train station near his home and he showed me how to get to his place. He passed me a set of spare keys so i can have access to his place. He's realli very nice and treated mi with much hospitality. Thank you Ronnie. I owe u alot. And OMG Ronnie's place is AMAZING. I was totally shocked when i saw it. Its not that big but it is very clean, spacious and elegant. Ronnie's place is paid by his company & the monthly rent is like close to 3000 USD la! Coz it is juz too nice! They have 2 blocks which is like a community. There's indoor basketball court, pool table, pool and gym. And the reception will open the front glass door for u when u wan to go out... Haha... I almost didnt want to leave la. Compare it to my Sierra housing in LA... Makes me feel like a refugee.
Anyway i visited Berkeley and Downtown SF for day 1 coz it was already evening when i got there. For day 2, i nearly died of exhaustion coz i freaking hiked the the whole day la!! My legs, back and shoulders were aching so bad and my feet felt as though it was gonna break. I conquered fisherman's wharf, hiked Alcratraz Island, hiked up the almost 45 degrees street to Lombard street (world's most crooked street), then i walked to chinatown, and then to union square. ALL MY FEET LA!!
But it was a very nice n satisfiying day =) At nite i met Ronnie when he knocked off from work and he treated me to a nice dinner.
