I hella <3 SF.

I really do (:

So, I couldn't stop thinking, "OMG, everyone actually came" while we were out touring SF cause schools almost over and everything. But anyways, I'm glad everyone pulled thru with this last project! Also, I'm glad that we got to do one more project with our original group.

Our first stop was Chinatown, and it was pretty cool. Even though traffic was a b*, we got thru. The car ride with julie driving and dolly & josh in the back was pretty funny cause we almost ran a red light and everything. Chinatown was sooo packed with people, it was crazy. There were so many alleys filled with laundry hanging from the fire escapes and I remember thinking to myself, "thats so asian". And like, it really is. Even my fambam still hangs our laundry out to dry in the backyard. It was a really nice community in that everyone seemed so together. For example, in the square, there were soo many little groups playing cards and gambling or old ladies walking around with their neighbors, maybe to do some grocery shopping. I have to admit, I felt like a tourist taking so many snapshots of every store we walked by.

Our next stop was Japantown, one of my favorite spots in SF, thanks to my boyfriend(:<3 Japantown was much more quieter and had its own way of presenting its history in comparison to Chinatown's population. There were a lot of monuments and such, like the Peace Pagoda. We walked around thee Kinetsu Mall in the Japan Center for a while. I sooo loove that sticker picture taking place on the 2nd floor, its so fun! People should try it out if they haven't yet, you'll love it (: Donna & Kim even bought some yummy-looking crepes. There was a great variety of Japanese Cuisines and I wondered how people were able to choose where to eat. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tag along with the gang to the last spot cause they had to drop me off to work & i was late, but its okay haha. Overall, I'd have to say that it was pretty fun touring the city and going to these sites. It was a nice way to be with the group one last time before the semester ends.

And so, I made the slideshow/video thing we have to present to class tmr. I'll post it here as a sneek peak for whoever wants to check it out. Oh, stupid photobucket cut a little bit of the video off.. the rest of the members are: Dolene Simmalavonge, Julie Truong, & Amanda Whipple.
Hope you guys like it (:
