alcatraz island

The last thing on my visiting list is mark. Alcatraz island.
Its was a windy, cloudy and cold sunday morning but the trip was worth it. This marked the last weekend that i have spend at San Franscisco. Next week this time i will be on the flight back home.

point lobo state reserve

Last weekend at san franscisco. this sat plan was to travel down highway 1 down south to visit the beautiful coast line at the pacific ocean. Rest & relax for the whole day.


Finally a good resting place with great view.i like this picture cos the shining light behind me makes me look so cool. perfect timing.

twin peak & golden gate bridge

Twin peak has a clear view of the entire city of san franscisco, alcatraz, golden gate bridge and the pacific ocean. too bad the weather wasn't that good. but its cooling though at the top. Next destination is golden gate bridge but thick clouds cover the golden gate bridge..sianzzz... lucky the view over the other side of the bridge is good.
enjoy the pictures. :)

yosemite national park

here's the pictures from yosemite national park california abt 212 miles away from where i lived and a travel journey of 3 1/2 hrs by car.
enjoy the pictures :)

happi weekend

this weekend is fantastic. went to yosemite national park, Mount diablo, treasure island and golden gate bridge. the feeling was good and the mood is right. took a lot of beautiful picture of the place.
will upload once i have a good night rest.
meanwhile i have 2 more weeks before going back to the small island so next week is my last weekend spend in san franscisco. Hope i get to visit alcatraz. dun want to miss that.
ta-ta. miss all of my friends.

Pebble beach

one of the beautiful beach in california known as pebble beach or 17 miles.

monterey bay aquarium

This weekend outing was to monterey bay aquarium with my classmates who drives a car. it was a 2 hr drive from where i stay to monterey bay aquarium. though i wasn't the one driving, i say it was tiring job. we were like travelling at 70 ~ 75 mph (110 ~ 120 km/h) cruising on the freeway and i say we are not the fastest. pple here drives fast on the freeway, i mean like 140 ~ 150 km/h crazy speed . maybe cos i dun see any speed limits on the freeway except when u are out of the freeway. i bet those who likes to drive really really fast cars will like it here.
we spend abt 3 hrs inside we before we left the aquarium and headed for pebble beach at carmel. it wasn't far distant away from the aquarium. it was beautiful there. if u are veri veri veri " rich", like to play "golf" and wants to "retired" , can try there.
But first enjoy the pics at the aquarium.

FishErmAn WhArF

My first time in the USA and the first place i visit is fisherman wharf and rode on the world famous electrical railway( e onli operating cable car left in the USA). It was a wonderful, beautiful experience. i bought a 3 days pass to i allowed to take the muni, metro train, bus and train as many times as i want.($18 USD) so next time if u do visit here, remember to buy the pass as a 1 way ride cost $5 USD.

And dun have to feel shy abt reading the map here to find out where u are cos even the americans (tourists) themselves are reading the map too. They are abt as lost as we are. HAHA...

i spend the whole day here just walking fisherman wharf . didnt managed to go alcatraz, cos the tickets were sold out. Maybe i tried next weekends with my classmates.
so on my list left is :
1. alcatraz
2. golden gate bridge
3. chinatown
4. Lombard street
Need to think of most interesting place to go. well..ask the locals.
Enjoy the photos

Yes...Sat morning. After a nite of planning, i gng to fisherman wharf today. But something very astonishing in the newspaper got my very attention.

Though i always heard and saw on the CNN, NBC news that earth quake in USA is common but please.... not during my stay. A closer look on the map... shit...less the 5 miles from where i stay ( black arrow). A 4.2 magnitude quake right on the nite i stepped into my hotel. Experts are telling everybody to be prepared. Even more shit!!! And i gng to be staying here for a mth. SHIT x 3!!!"Ti gong poh piang siong ho mei lei, ho wau ping ping an an kuek"

San Francisco

Mar 1 2007, left erlangen,germany on in e afternoon and headed towards san Francisco. The entire journey took me abt 15++ hours before i managed to step into my hotel room.
Damm tired lor. The best part was when i took the short flight from Nuremberg airport to Munich international airport. Our tiny twin propeller plane met with strong wind and it was like sitting in a roller coaster. This is also the first time i actually throw up from my seat and slam on my butt. Thank goodness...

The next morning, Mar 2 2007, i went to out to recce the surrounding. Found Mcdonald, starbuck, a shopping mall and the "Abercrombie & Fitch" boutique. At least i don't have to run all the way to the central city to buy.

The only thing i hatred abt here is that YOU NEED TO DRIVE A CAR. Even the nearest supermart is a 30 min walk.
