San Franciscoooo (part 1)

Day 1 in San Francisco! (On our own without the stoopid tour group. HALLEIGHLUJAH!)
We arrived at 5am in the morning cos we travelled in an overnight coach from Los Angeles, which totally sucked.
All of us hardly got any sleep at all (except jean) and though greyhound wasn't supposed to be like BAD or anything, daddy says only real poor people in america take buses, cos' everyone drives.
Anyhooies, it was so crappy. And we also had to drag all our luggage in that freaking weeee hours of the morning to the bus station so we could go to our hotel.
And that guy (the crappy manager or something) at the hotel was such an ass. Honestly. Even though there was nobody at the hotel, he didn't allow us to check in any earlier.
And when we went in to put our luggages, he kept going in his loser gay voice
"OH MY GAWD. SO MANY BAGGAGES. I CAN CHARGE YOU, YOU KNOW. OH MY GAWD"
Not knowing where to go, we went down to Fishermen's wharf to get clam chowder and fish and chips for lunch (:
And then we went to...
AQUARIUM OF THE BAY
(Singapore is such a copycat.)
It also has the same travelator thing (whatever it's called)



The day i fell in love with a fish.

Made of jelly.


DAY 2! CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
Random
Random Random
Cave!

JUST TO SCARE YOU!

I think it's seriously disturbing to know that like underneath you, you're that ugly. DONCHA THINK? With the buck teeth and all.



Stuffed real animals :D
Not kidding.

JOAN! Who's going away to the hostel in 4 days.
AWWWWW.
Who's going to annoy me every day now?


PEEKABOO!
Haha, you can't see it properly here, but there's a yellow stone fish in between the white coral and the purple rock at the top.
THERE! It comes out. I think it looks freaking cool.

Rainforest! It's this enclosure where they keep snakes and stuff. The butterflies come so close to you, it's kinda scaryyy.

See what i mean? I had to keep ducking cos' they were above my head.

This one is sooo unique.
It has a fake eye on it's body to look like some other animal so others wouldn't attack it.
CUTE!
Haha, lameee.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOOOOKAY.

UNION SQUAREE! Pretty isn't it? :D
It's a mall full of shops, but it's super pricey. Like even in Abercrombie & Fitch, one plain shirt cost USD37.


What we used to get around for the six days (: We took the bus all around, cos we bought this 2 week pass thing or whatever. It gives you free bus rides, cable car rides and a free pass to 5 attractions in san francisco.
LOVEEEE! it was fun i guess, getting to know how to get around everywhere yourself and understanding so much about one place in such a short span of time.
