San Francisco Love

Part 2 Of Adventures of Super Sophia!
Sooooo. I went to Chinatown since it IS the biggest Chinatown in America... MEH
 The fortune cookie factory! Wtf man had to pay 50cents to take a picture. (-.-") HAHA! They didn't even taste good and I heard that Fortune Cookies originated from San Francisco. How true it is?? I'm too lazy to google it. Go look it up yourself man!
 Since the day was SOOOOOOOOOOOO Nice considering how much rain we had been having I headed to lombard street on the damn cable car (I HELD ON TO THE POLE FOR MY LIFE as we traveled the steep slopes) praying that the fat lady sitting in front of me doesn't fall off and send my FLYING (T.T)

Finally I hopped off on Lombard Street, the world's Crookedest Street. LOL Watching the cars make their way down was actually quite funny. There were a pair of Saudi guys who were having a party in their open top Mustang (I honestly hoped a fat seagull would plant a poop on their heads) So very annoying. I Totally skyped Kishen while I was here. I thought that was quite cool!
 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, since there was essentially nothing else to do and the day was too damn good to waste, I went to the Golden Gate Bridge! Little did I know what my stupidity was about to bring down on me.
 This little piggy decided to walk 2.7 km to the end of the bridge! The View was spectacular!
 Obviosuly I did not think it through because I WAS STUCK IN THE OTHER SIDE! There was NO bus coming back. G.R.E.A.T after a DAY of walking this was NOT the best idea I had... EVER! Gheeze! It was other hitch hike and hope I don't get raped OR walk back... *mumbling and grumbling* I WALKED ALL THE WAY BACK! Well, I better have had lost weight! By the end of it I was sick of the bridge!

SOOOOO I headed to have dinner! I wore a pair of white heels my uncle bought me in Hong Kong and this gay couple stopped their car at the bus stop to tell me my shoes are awesome... What a weird country.

Dinner at Gary Danko (supposedly one of the best restaurants in the Uniter States) Was FANTABULOUS! :D The waiter was sooooo cool and the food was mouth wateringly great! The dessert was Souffle! WITH BELGIUM DARK CHOCOLATE FILLING AND VANILLA. OMFG

The next Day I went to California Academy of Science at the Golden Gate Park. Quite sakai la. I saw Penguin Drama! One of the penguins was stealing leaves and branches from his neighbors til he got caught and attacked! I found that sooooo funny.
There was an indoor rainforest, a planetarium and an indoor aquarium in a building topped with a rooftop garden. WOW! It was small but very impressive and the presentations were innovative.
 By the end of the academy of science, the de young museum was closed so I headed next door to the Japanese Tea Garden. Its devestatingly scary really what is happening in Japan.

Last  but not least I went to a place called Farina @ Mission which is the Spanish neighborhood of San Francisco. Dude they had the chef's award winning Basil Pesto with homemade handkerchief pasta. It was pretty good! 
 At the end of it I was heading home and this guy FOLLOWED ME! Thank god he didn't have money to get on the bus!

On the Last day, I spent it lelong-ing with my dad's cousin. :) We had awesome dim sum and finished it off with Indian dinner! It was funny because ME SOPHIA KOAY gave her directions on HOW TO PARALLEL PARK! LOL! Also I gave her directions on how to get to my hostel! We had a whole argument about it! LOL. But it was fun! I got to ask her about my dad, and she brought me to the Legion of Honor they had a special called Pulp Fashion, and it was like they created olden times fashion with paper! elaine and my mum would have loved it!

The night I had to go back to New York, I was up at 2AM FaceTiming Elaine and this french guy mooned me............. that was totally NOT cool man! He had a white hairy ass. -.- Later I found out he would have been my roommate had I stayed one day longer. THANK GOD I DIDN'T

Ps I stayed in a TERRIBLE neighborhood.
Mike: Soph, so you need to avoid this neighborhood called tenderloin, its full of homeless and gangs but has the best night clubs
Sophia: Thanks! I'm staying under the D of tenderloin on your map :D Nice to know my neighborhood is so awesome
Mike: Oh....

So that ends my trip... I came home and bought baby wipes :D WOOHOO! I AM COOL!
