So after I got my CNA license, some of my internet friends invited me up to go on a road trip to San Francisco with them. I had known Colleen for a while and her boyfriend Lou and we had a mutual e-friend Jasper who lived in San Jose. This is a blog about our journey.
After they came to pick me up, we stopped at a burger king to get some food. Off of the freeway in the middle of nowhere, the setting seemed to be straight out of a zombie shooter.

Lou smiles as I awkwardly sip Dr. Pepper. There were roaches in the bathroom 
We arrived at our motel at about 1AM and I immediately went online and started browsing teamliquid, facebook, reddit, and such websites. An internet addict never sleeps.

Of course I had to text my mom at night to tell her we had arrived safely.

We pick up Jasper and head to SF to take a bus to the golden gate bridge. We stand at the bus stop looking manly and deep.

I look bored as Jasper laughs at me. What a jerk.

We finally arrived at the golden gate bridge which of course had awesome scenery. There were hella tourists around, so it was a bit crazy to navigate on foot but it went fine. I was very nervous being up so high above the water and the massive amounts of wind didn't help.

The dark side of the bridge.

Being too cool for NORMAL tourists, we pause to look manly as fuck while colleen snaps a photo.

We finally get her in the picture. Jasper snidely points at the two of us. Didn't anyone ever tell him pointing is rude?

Jasper's O-Face.

When we arrive at fisherman's wharf we decided to take a sensitivity class. You're never too far from home to learn.

Jasper tries to teach me to use chopsticks but it is of no use. I ended up using a fork like the american barbarian I am.

Lou dies and I stand nearby and sweat.

Then it was time for drunken Magic The Gathering/DotA/League of Legends/StarCraft
I play Protoss 1a2a3a ez.

Then it was time for Chipotle. Eating is the best.

I use my gravity to attract small asian men toward me. It always works.

In JapanTown we went to one of those supa kawaii photobooth things that all the japanese teenage girls do. This is the result. Beware.

You were waiting at the taraval bus stop for the 28. RIGHT?
|
This is really confusing because two of those faces are completely interchangeable. Do you think if the girls face were burned off in a fire the guy would give his to her so that she could go on living a normal life?

that's an interesting question. I wonder if they've ever swapped faces as a practical joke? The staples would give it away if you looked close, but it would still be great fun until people figured it out, i'd imagine.

Just more confirmation that the Bay Area is the best part of California.

This is a great blog entry. I rarely read blogs but I'm glad I opened this one.
You represent a selection of the best posting Doc Hel. Stay cool

u shoulda came when i was still in cupertino
also bay area sux
|
If you would compare the "Bay Area" to NY, where would that be?
|
San Francisco seemed OK. Although for one of the pictures I can hardly see the bridge that is on the background. Air pollution or fog?

Rather than try to explain it, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area
There's a couple maps there.

LOL wtf that first picture looks really photoshopped. I didn't believe it was real till I saw the guy in the other photos. The japanese style pictures were hilarious haha, looks like fun.

You look totally different from what I expected, but it looks like you had a good time. Did Colleen/Lou start off as e-friends as well or did you meet them IRL first?
|
Man.. Casper and that girl look the same. The pictures on the bus tripped me out, I had to look at them at least 5 times.
(I'm Asian)
