San Francisco


this was the last destination in my american west coast trip. i dont think its fair for me to write anything about San Francisco since ive only spent 2 days there and i was really sick during the last one.

San Francisco is not big at all and there isnt much to see on the tourists attractions map, never the less, alot of people like it and swear by it so ill leave my review till my next visit . yep, im planning a real westcoast road trip where ill be driving from orgeon all the way down to san diego. maybe then, ill give san Francisco another chance.
the first thing that ive noticed in san Francisco is the great number of homeless people !! they are EVERYWHERE .. like literally everywhere and they are in VERY BAD living conditions. people were picking left overs from THE TRASH and EATING IT !! this is insane !!! i never imagined seeing such a thing in the united states of america !!!!!  we do have homeless here in toronto but NO ONE STARVES IN TORONTO and thats a fact !! because there are too many shelters and food banks !! they are everywhere !! they may sleep in the street but they will never starve or will never need to eat from the garbage !!!

it seems like San Fran is similar to LA when it comes to crime. it has a high crime rate and in fact, we saw some one stealing something from the grocery store and running away with it !!  also it seems like there's alot of drugs and stuff around the city.
ive also noticed alot of arabs there and khalijis ! i dont know if its coz its xmas holidays or if , in fact, san fran has a big arab community.

we havent seen much in san fran because we arrived on xmas so everything was closed. however, we did get to try the famous cable car and we saw the golden gate bridge !! a bridge that i find to be very disturbing .. it all started after watching a documentary called the bridge which films people jumping off the golden gate bridge .. after that, golden gate bridge is no longer a bridge for me, it feels a cemetery to me now..

Oh yeah! U can see SEALS from the beach!!! We saw a couple of seals there!! N i saw a dolphin in santa monica and whales in quebec earlier this year!!! The only thing missing is sharks lol




there was more stuff that i wanted to see like little japan, alcatraz prison , muir wood and pier 39. yosemite national park is definitely a place that i wanna hike one day.

i cant say much about san fran i guess .. since im considering doing my fellowship in the states and most likely in san fran. maybe i should go back again and explore it better before i make such a big decision of moving there .
