Hi everyone ! Last week I went to the grand opening of the Dolores Park (One part of the park was closed for a moment) and I wanted to share my feelings about this amazing place. I went there with other exchange students and when we arrived,...
Hi everyone! I am Adele (yes, just like the singer), a brand new exchange student from France. I’ve left baguettes and croissants for three weeks now, and I’m really ok about it! It is kind of weird leaving home and travelling to the other side...
I have stayed in San Francisco since the last Fall semester. Yesterday evening, I and my firneds went to the SF downtown to celebrate one of my friend's birthday. The downtown left me with different emotional states whenever I went to there. When it is unbroken sunshine, a lot of people walk around roads soaking up the shinshine and...

I mentioned tourist traps and underwhelming sights and locations in the former blog post. Golden Gate Park is the opposite of this. Even though this park is world famous, and tourists visit the park, this a place you want to go back to - again and...
Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Golden Gate Bridge, Napa Valley; world-famous, amazingly underwhelming. Fisherman's Wharf is just a tourist trap with expensive cafees and restaurants, crowded piers, and bad public transport. I came, I gave it a chance, and I left. The sea lions are cool, and...
