Lately~~

I've been pretty busy these days, showing my high school classmate, Yoyo, around the city and the bay area. She arrived last Friday evening. We had some food at my neighbor's(Christopher) place in the evening and then we went out for some coffee and snacks at a nice Italian restaurant later that night.

Saturday, we went to another famous street called Chestnut St. for cafes and shopping close to the ocean. After having some nice lunch, we walked all the way from the Marina area to the Golden Gate Bridge. That was a nice sunny day, but the wind at the beach was just freezing...both of us were so cold and tired after a 3 hours walk along the beach. When we got home, we could barely move our bodies and could only lay down on the floor in my room...we didn't go out that night but only stayed at home, watching some random movies showed on TV and doing some facial mask. Well, beauty time~~~

Sunday, it was cloudy in SF so we decided to go south to Palo Alto for some sun shine. It was a great decision because the weather there was just good enough to take a walk in Stanford University and in Downtown Palo Alto. We had lunch at an Italian restaurant there and it was the the soccer game for Italy and Spain~~Oh well, the Italian went home eventually....We also met my friend Sheryl and had some afternoon tea and dinner together. Girls talk time~~ We caught the last Caltrain back to SF and being frozen again by the weather in the city.....

Monday, we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. It was crazily cold there!!!! I haven't been to that place since my father's visiting...We were at the famous Pier 39 and were watching some street show from the 2nd floor deck. There was a guy standing next to me and he said that the performer was playing the same trick before he went into a restaurant. I thought he was from the U.K. because he got the British accent. But then he introduced himself, saying he's from Köln, Germany!!! Yoyo and I were so surprised that I could bump into Germans anytime....that tell us: 1. there are Germans everywhere; 2. I'm appealed to the Germans. haha~~ :-)

Anyway, that guy was just a tourist and I tried to practice my German with him. But not much though. Since that day was cold and I had class from 5-9pm, we headed back to downtown earlier. I asked Christopher to take care of Yoyo and then I went to the first class for this final semester. The new professor was quite nice and he's working in a private equity firm. He knows a lot about the practical things instead of only academic stuff. I think this class will be fun.(well, also need some work though~~)

After I got out of my class at 9pm. I went home and found Yoyo was at Christopher's place making pizza. I was hungry so I went there to grab some pizza. Christopher also played some guitar music for us while we were waiting for the pizza. 11pm, Yoyo, Christopher, his roommate(John), and me went to Castro(the gay district) to meet with my tutor and his boyfriend. Because the law for gay marriage in California has just passed, Castro is totally crazy at night recently. We went to the gay bar which I went last time and being hit on by some other gay guy. It was quite crowded in the dancing pool, but we still had lots of fun there until 1am. Yoyo, Christopher, and I left and John said he would like to stay longer. (Oh well, I guess he's also a gay...) We got home at around 1:30am and went to bed at 2:30am. I was exhausted....

Tuesday, we got up around 10am and Yoyo began to pack. Her flight was at 1:30am Wednesday. After she has done the packing, we walked to the Golden Gate Park from my house. Yoyo's Taiwanese friend Johnny drove from San Jose to meet with us. We then went to Sausalito. It was warm there, with nice sunshine. But when we got back to the city, it became cold again. I really don't like this!! This kind of weather gives me a headache...it's already the end of June and it's still only 12 degree!! When can I wear some summer outfit??

Whatever, Johnny drove us to some famous spots for Yoyo to take pictures. Then we went back home to an Ethiopia restaurant near my apartment. That was very special food and we don't have that in Taiwan.

We walked home with extremely full bellies and had some hot tea. Then we helped Yoyo to get all the luggages onto the car. Johnny drove her to the Airport. Then my tour guide trip in SF finished.

Yesterday, I went to the German Counselor with my tutor and his boyfriend to watch the soccer game. Yes, all Germans in the room, only me and my tutor's bf are Asian...the live game has faced some technical problems so we missed the second goal of Germany. But they won at the last minute anyway. hehe. GoGoGo!! Germany~

After the game, we had some lunch and they drove me to my class. Another afternoon class. The teacher is nice and we've had his class before. We'll have to do a project for this class but it's a group project. It will not be too hard but will be fun.

Finally, I got home from class, cleaning my room, doing some laundry, and resting. I slept until 11am today. Watched some episodes and a movie. Relaxing life eventually started!!! ^_^
