Thoughts on Trip
Above is a shot of my favorite dumpling place, right near the last hotel we stayed in (bamboo garden). It was in the northern part, right near a subway stop, and a little block and a hutong crawl from the lakeside bar district.
I’m telling people that it was overhwelming, and that’s [...]
I’ve finaly gotten enough sleep not to feel dizzy. I flew in yesterday on a small boeing 700 plane yesterday afternoon from the longest journey of my life. It started at 5am in Beijing, checking out of my sleepy hutong-courtyard hotel. The staff there sleep behind the desk in a makeshift bed (six chairs pushed [...]
Lower Haight
It has changed so much since I lived there. I was at the dentistry school nearby and decided to walk around a bit and see if all the crack houses were in full force. Nope, not at all, and even moreso a bar has turned in to (gasp!) a wi-fi cafe with wine AND [...]
In preparation for the Great Beat Creep, my birhtday celebration centerd around North Beach and Poetry, I have to frequent certain establishments that are going to be the inspiration for budding poets.
Jazz at Pearl’s
Super score, I mean, that place totally rocks. We showed up 10 mins before closing, but they did an encore. Excellent!

Pacific Heights
Alltime favorite Pac Heights story. Walking around with my brother in law (who lives in the bay area) he is asking me constantly, what neighborhood is this? me: “pac heights.” him: “No it’s not. It’s something else.” me: “Oh maybe, there are all these little nook neighborhoods I don’t know.” One week later, he [...]
So, procrastinating to write yesterday I found banane.com -> in another country, Belgium, and it’s a joke site (blague!). So I translated a joke. Funny how your language skills are really good when you are motivated!

Links
So, here are some cool local links:
SF MetBlogs- I’ve been reading this for a few days. I went to a party with these folks a while ago but don’t remember any of their faces and names, which makes going to networking events such a good use of your time, you know?

Randomly today, on my walk around Aquatic Park, I decided to stop at the Maritime Museum on Beach Street, right across from the Dolphin Club and in the Argonaut Hotel. Wow, it was an excellent exhibit and I ended up staying over an hour, up to closing time. A few key things you shouldn’t miss [...]
Fire! Fire!
My brother in law, sister, and assorted friends were enjoying a glass of wine on the roof of my apartment yesterday. We were beseiged with mist, basically, since it was a really warm winter day but the precipitation was coming hard. Bro-In-Law goes, “I haven’t really been listening to you guys for the past [...]
Homeless guy in front of a shop with very loud marenge music blasting onto the sidewalk. He rattles his paper Starbucks cup, full of coins, to the beat.
Along the block of Taylor, where there are tacky little shops selling t-shirts “I bet you wish your girlfriend was as hot as me,” and “Hard as [...]
