China town II

San Francisco Chinatown II, California

June 20, 2003 in San Francisco, CA
Friday

I woke up at 9:00 am and felt really tired. There was no any motivation for me to leave the hotel room. I just modified some pictures and did some preparation for the web pages.

Keith recommended me to take shuttle bus to airport; the shuttle bus he mentioned called Blue Van. I called 1-800-BlueVan and booked it. The Blue Van company told me that the van will arrive between 4:00 to 4:45 pm.

I left hotel almost 1:00 pm without breakfast and lunch. I walked to Union Square and took cable cab to the China Town. China Town is always a mess, I just walked around. There is a video rental shop, the assistants inside were all Shanghainese. I spoke in Shanghainese to kid with them.

It was almost 2:00 pm but I didn’t find any good restaurant yet. There is a restaurant pastes the menu on the windows with Shanghai dish name. I walked in and the boss spook Cantonese to me, I exited restaurant immediately. I don’t think a Cantonese can make real good Shanghai food in United States. They even can’t make good Cantonese food. Eventually, I gave up finding a Shanghai restaurant. I had Mock Turtle Noodle at a normal Canton style restaurant, the noodle was Cantonese noodle and the dumplings inside were real good.

I bought a 24oz Bud Light and a small bottle of Jack Daniel’s. I went back to Hilton Hotel by #30 public bus. I had nothing to do and just sat in the lobby and went online through wireless service.
