Quick thoughts
San Francisco is a funny place to live. At first everything is new, than after a few months your expected to know a few things. Here are a few things that I have picked up on.
1). Your constantly getting asked directions whether you know them or not. Maybe I just have that face of a person who looks like they know the city, (hint: I don’t but I’m getting better at it).
2). Chinese people (specifically women in China Town), no matter what age will go grocery shopping and take the bus everywhere, everyday. I don’t care if it’s a brand new mom with 2 kids or a 90 year old grandmother. They’re on that bus, they’re riding where they need to go and they really can careless what anyone else thinks. It’s great.
3). When you start seeing the same people on the street, someone needs to grow some balls and say hello…but no one really says hello. Maybe I’ll start a trend, maybe I’ll be the grownup in this forced awkward situation. Come on man, you’re older than me, we see each other all the time, get over yourself.
4). When you live in a specific area/district you tend to stay there. This is horrible, I need to branch out more like I did when I was here the first 6 months. The thing is, people know what they like, and sometimes can be scared of something new. This is not the point of San Francisco, you live here because you are the opposite, don’t forget that.
5). Rooftops are amazing.
