San Francisco

September 1st, 2007 by alexander

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Nicknamed ‘City by The Bay’ San Francisco located at the west coast of California, United States. This city is surrounded by the pacific ocean, mountains, tall buildings and Latinos.

The world famous island prison - The Alcatraz

Why so foggy?

According to the wikipedia, the combination of cold water from Pacific ocean and the high heat of the California mainland creates the city’s characteristic fog that can cover the western half of the city all day during the spring and early summer. San Francisco has the Mediterranean climate which is mild wet winter and warm dry summer. However, the climates are strongly influenced by the cold currents of the Pacific Ocean.



Challenging stunt - Driving on the left side car, on the right lane road , one hand steering the wheel, one hand snapping the photos.


Believe it or not. This is actually how thick is the cable supporting the bridge. Diameter of the cable - 92.4 cm.

I wonder how Magneto can use his power to shift the whole bridge, breaking its supporting cables and placed the bridge at the Alcatraz island….

Golden Gate Park walkway. Each brick has names on it.

What does Ped Xing stands for?

Ped Xing mean pedestrian crossing or crosswalk or better known as Zebra crossing in Malaysia. In US, car stops whenever people is using the crossing. Well, it is ethical.

Back in Malaysia, I’ve tried crossing a busy road in front of the Curve to IKEA, no car stops. Instead, they honked when I’m using the zebra crossing. Sad mentality.
