We were sitting at the Union Square and people watching. We only stayed there for about 15-20 minutes because there were too many pigeons. Hm...what are the chances of having pigeon poo over our heads when there were more than 50 pigeons flying together?

Almost everyday, we parked our car on some street parking closed to a BART station in Oakland and then we took the BART to San Francisco. The parking fees in the city was quite expensive --around 6 dollars an hour.
Look at the parking meter, sometimes I wonder if the cops really used a random plastic bag to cover up the meter to show that the meter was not working. We parked our car for almost 6 hours for free that day. So I assume the cop could somehow figure out if the meter was working or not based on the way the knot of the plastic bag was tied.
And speaking of this rental car, we got a free upgrade from a Hyundai Accent to a Ford Fusion which came with a GPS. How so? We just told the guy at the rental car counter that we wanted to 'test-drive' the Ford Fusion because it looked like a very cool car. That was it, quite easy, eh?
San Francisco Downtown
It was raining most of the day on Tuesday. Luckily we spent most of the times in the museum to stay dry ;).
San Francisco Downtown
Just like any other tourists, we took some random pictures. Before we walked down the Bart Station, we found this building entrance looked quite grand and antique.

@ SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts). It felt good to just walk around the galleries and look at those paintings and sculptures even though I didn't really understand them
SF Tour
After having lunch in Oakland China Town, my uncle suggested us to visit the Mormon Temple. It is the second largest Mormon Temple in the states. Once again, it looked gorgeous.

This is the view from the library. When the sky is clear, you can see the entire Bay Area- especially when it is at night, the view of the city is gorgeous.
Chinese Food @ San Francisco
This is one of my favorite Chinese dish- Stir-fried Shanghai rice cake with vegetables.
Happy Holidays
I take a whole week off next week to go back to the Bay Area to visit friends and family. Once again, not bringing my laptop this time as it is too heavy. I might have access to Internet, but I don't think I'll post here every day. (That's what vacation is all about right- to refill my mind with new ideas, relax and drink bubble tea ;))
When I come back, I'll post some pictures here.
Happy Holidays everyone!
