嚟到呢度,又進入行程o既第三個階段﹗第一階段就係Las Vegas啦,第二階段就自己玩San Francisco啦,而家嚟到第三階段,我哋同康熊貓聚聚舊,佢會帶我哋周圍去玩﹗而且係充滿住神秘感+驚喜o既行程呢,全權由康熊貓決定,我哋無論去到邊都會好高興o架~

首先我哋約咗朝早十點左右係San Francisco o既Stratford Hotel pick up我哋,不過佢搵呢個地方都花咗少少時間,而且又塞車,所以我哋碰面o既時間都晏晏地lu~我哋直奔去食lunch o既地方~康熊貓帶咗我哋去Japan Town食嘢~

我問佢呢啲盛開o既粉紅色小花係咪櫻花,佢話係cherry blossom,咁即是係櫻花啦﹗估唔到去到加州都會見到櫻花呢~ 閱讀全文

今次去到Las Vegas McCarran機場可以影下相了,嚟時得自己一個人,行李又多,影相都唔方便~淨係想快啲跳上架車度返酒店~

1-7-2006:大個女再去三藩市

DAY 12 @ USA

The second last day at Hong’s place!!! Today we went to San Francisco. Going to bed late the night before, we slept until around 8am, being waken up by my dad’s phone call. “WHY DON’T YOU GET UP? ENGLAND VS PORTUGAL!!!” haha~ We are watching the other match in San Francisco~

We went to the China Town of San Francisco to have breakfast (probably brunch). On the way there, we ate some of the fruits that we bought yesterday. We went there to have some congee (Hong made a mistake~ She thought that the “sang-gwun-ngao-yuk-juk” equals to “min-chi-ngao-yuk-juk”!!), “ngao-lei-so” and “ja-leung”. They were very delicious but the portion was too big.

Then we joined Hong’s sister’s friend Daniel to watch the World Cup match at Little Italy (a region where there are a lot of italian people and shops). The better pubs and restaurants were full of people. We went into a small pub. The pubs here are non-smoking, which is SO GOOD. The pub seems to me that it is a place for the oldies…oops! The atmosphere was not too good but the TVs were good.

France won! Wow~ Before the match, I actually hoped that France would won because Spain was defeated in the previous round. If France is really that good, Spain is not shameful to lose. I’m not too sure if the whole team is good or not but Zidane is really fit today. Looking forward to the future matches.

After watching the game, we walked around the city: China Town, Union Square, Cable Car museum…and some places that I don’t know how to name.

Daniel said that the triangular building behind us is a bank.

This is a very famous street (I don’t know the exact name of it). Have you ever seen the Mainland version of karaoke of Miriam’s “joi-kin-yi-ding-muk”? It was filmed here. (I wonder how it is related!!!)

Hong’s sister had left afterwards. She went to see a concert (the group is called “Il Divo”, they sing the theme song of the World Cup this year~) tonight. So only Hong and I remained. Then we went to the Fishermen Wharf.

There are a lot of seafood restaurants near the pier. We bought some fish and chips to eat. It was quite expensive but tasted good.

We walked around the nice shops and enjoying there for a long time.

Very nice environment.

There was a gallery showing different artwork. Remember sea otters?

I like this very much. Seal family~

We finally had our dinner late. We ate in the Rainforest Cafe. The one in Hong Kong has closed for many years. I love this restaurant so much! Nice environment, nice food.

When we drove back home, I was super sleepy. Hong told me to sleep…but I think, I’m sleepy, she must be sleepy too, I should chat with her in order to keep her alert. But…I failed to do this. I fell asleep very soon in the car.

Need to get up early tomorrow morning again. We are going to Hong’s church.
