chocolate and crazy taxis
chocolate festival was today. jei, zelly, mom, and i went up to san fran to it. wasn't the best fiestival but it was good. some random chocolate free (tasty) and stuff to buy. parking was shit though. i ended up parking in what looked like a cement hole in the wall. stupid parking lot.
but we did see the biggest damn chocolate ever.
yes, that's my mom's hand against that chocolate
so we left to head to japantown. OMG powel street is that typical street with the really steep hills and the trolleys. omg omg omg. not fun to drive. especially when the taxis are trying to plow you over. and i nearly got hit by a bus when he turned. thankfully the driver was pretty good and missed me pretty well. still scared me. but we made it to japantown in one piece, had udon and japanese crepes there, and shopped. mom wanted to get me something so i got pac-man bandaids (they're so cute) and the cutest little rabi keychain!
so damn cute!
we also went to that "japanese fashion" place near japantown. we expected to see something like a japanese hot topic. nah. so disappointing. it attempted to be a posh store with $350 fugly gothic lolita costumes and a very small selection of books and stuff on white round table things. wtf.
well we started home and that's when the chaos ensued. the highway was completely blocked and sirens were blaring about. so we decided to take a detour. through a really creepy neighborhood. there were srs bars on the windows of the stores. and we passed a school. with a black power bus parked in front of it. yeah. we got outta there. and made it to the highway. that's when we saw at least 20 police cars, both marked and unmarked zipping down the highway like a moving road block. wow. i have no idea what was going on but we gtfo'd. srsly.
and so i'm home after dinner with mum.
