Home away from home

[grumbleboo]

Its been two months and a little bit more since I came to San Francisco. I was told I'd take a while getting used to the place, probably feel really homesick since this is my first time away from home - in short I was warned about adjustment problems

Hi Rahul!

I agree with you. From whatever (little) I have seen in this country, I am so glad I am in San Francisco. Its not only pretty, its a very liberated place.

Have you visited or stayed here? Asking cos I'd love to explore little known places in case you are able to recommend any.

Ive visited. When i get a job somewere there, hope to stay in frisco.
Hmm some little known places that i could recommend.

1. kerouac alley.. assuming you are familair with jack keroauc. This place still has a very beat cafe and all.

2. When you cross over from frisco through the golden gate bridge, if you take out the first exit. it follows to some army place and on the way there is a very long tunnel that has only one lane of traffic. and traffic lights at both sides are exactly 5 minutes long!! they hace signs saying that. its a curious place to visit. especially in the night when you are probably the only car and you can ( i did) drive through the tunnel with the headlights off.. haha

I havent read anything by Jack Kerouac but now that I googled and found it intriguing, I probably will.

The second place sounds interesting as well! But I doubt I will ever take the risk that you did. :-)

I had moonlight to guide me :) Its still a nice out-of-the-ordinary place to visit.

I recommend jack keroauc - on the road.

a quote from that book stays with me.. "There is nowhere left to go, but everywhere"

I agree with that!

Have you read anything by Oscar Wilde?
