diamondlifeSan Francisco is a weird place. I feel more vulnerable here than I have anywhere else in the US or, probably, anywhere ever. Everywhere else I've been pleased to have my accent, as people have always been curious and eager to chat; here, I just feel it marks me as a small-town, probably-posh, naive tourist, ripe for the taking advantage of. :/ I daredn't go anywhere, cos I don't know who or where to trust. I think I'm just worn out! I'm tired now, tired of having to pack and repack my case, tired of dragging it around, tired of having to find places to stay. I can't even be bothered to look for cheap things or interesting food anymore! I bought my train ticket, though, so I'm setting off at 8.20 tomorrow morning for Chicago - a three-day train journey! It would've been nice to have stocked up on food etc (train food here is ...not the most exciting) but I just can't be bothered having another bag to lug around.
Today I went to Golden Gate park, which is freakin' huge! I had tea in the Japanese tea gardens, which was lovely, and wandered down Haight looking for hippies, but like I say, I just can't get into San Francisco. It's all either too cool, or too seedy, or some weird mixture of both.
Nevertheless, last night will remain one of the most fun of my trip here.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
new_kate and hibem took me cruising in the gay district, and it was one of the most memorable (and surreal XD) nights of my life. ♥ Thanks, you guys, cos I'd never have had the nerve to go myself! ;D
Now I might go sit on the roof terrace (if Lawrence Wong hasn't taken it over o.o) and drink some of that delicious wine I had last night, and book my flight!!! *chomp*
