After almost a year longing for a proper visit to the probably the most hip city of the west coast, here I am at San Fransisco with a bunch of my CMU (and somewhat related to CMU) friends. The city in short is wayyy better than Pittsburgh in any sense. 

Flashback

Around month of May last year (2009), I was stranded in SF, missing my connecting flight to Singapore thanks to United Airline stupid delays involving malfunctioned toilet . Despite being in the city for only around twelve hours with Ms. Chiam and Mr. Tan, I was awed by all the nicer thing the city could offer: proper shuttle, superb airport (not as good as many airports in Asia though but close) and awesome weather. Promising myself that I will be back for a proper visit, as a tourist or otherwise, here I am.

ps: To be fair, I also visited SF before around August 2009 during my twelve hours transit (many thanks to SQ unreliable reservation system), meeting Mr. Teja, my primary school friends who enjoyed ever wonderful weather and fat salary, along the way. However, since its less than a day, I do not think its counted as proper visit.

Now

My travel itinerary is somewhat very sketchy. Not much plan involved in it – just hoping for the best like what happened on the first day (e.g. yesterday) where we went to Lombard St., Fisherman Wharf and nearby Pier 39.

My today’s plan? meeting Mr. Teja or rather Arya who are supposed to bring me around the town.

I will update this post as time goes… hopefully
