Things & Places Seen Around San Francisco - Part 1

I'll be posting random shots of pics I've taken here and there that caught my eye as I go for my daily walks in San Francisco. Probably quite a few, so here's Part 1!

Chinatown Colours 1
Colourful Chinatown

Colourful Chinatown shopping!

Transamerica @ Montgomery Street
Transamerica Pyramid at Montgomery Street...currently the 105th tallest building in the world.



Checking out the sound at the circle at Trans
One of the few circles on the grounds just outside the Transamerica building. Zahara pointed out that if we stood right in the center of the circle and speak, our voice becomes one of an "alien/robot"! We tried it out and our voices did change! Check it out if you're ever here. I'm not sure if this is a well known fact, but if not....You heard it here FIRST!

Side slope parking!
Talk about parking challenges, San Francisco is the place! Look at this side slope parking. I might just roll down the slope when I alight from the vehicle! Hahaha....Important driving lesson here - Remember to have your hand brakes on and gear in Park!

Cool Two Front Wheel Bike!
This cool two front wheel bike looks quite futuristic!

Cute Bug!
Cutest Bug I've seen! :o)

Stairways to Coit Tower

    SF is a lovely place. Go to Castro, the Haight, and the Wharf. Then rent a car and drive over the bridge to Muir Woods and see some Giant Sequoias. Mind you, with your sis over there, you might have seen it all already. Oh and by the way, that 2 wheel bike thingy? It's availalble in Bali too! ;-) hahahaha

    I saw quite a few two-front-wheeled bikes while we were overseas lately - they look rather strange yet cool. Nice photos - it's nice being able to see things from your point of view.
