My Bad...

Well i guess i've started slacking in my blog again... sorry about that... anyway alots been goin on... again gettin stuck into work and stuff and well social life as well making alot of friends and alot of great people... enjoying my time and making the most of this experience... but like i said, theres alot goin on... so i'll give you a little taster of wat i've been at the past few days (besides working and getting drunk) ...

A few Sunday's ago was the Office Christmas Party. We went to Asia SF. The food and drink was incredible...kinda worked like family style tapas...in total there was 18 of us...that includes all the office staff and the odd driver and ofcourse guests if people chose to bring...so anyway...Asia SF ok...now if you hadn't realised already that San Francisco is little CRAZY... this post will surely show you...

Asia SF is a restaurant/bar/club where all the barmaids...well arn't maids at all... they were trannys ... you know drag queens... which you see here alot but... these could pass as women...the looked like it (sometimes) you'd be surprised...well until they opened there mouth i guess... anyway our waitress was Vivica lol she was really great craic...they all put on a drag show... wow they could dance... and it was a great night and enjoyed by everyone... awesome experience!

Heres some pics...




I was working the next day so i didn't party too hard... it wasn't too late of a night either. Other than that i've just been wanderin bout the city. Getting the odd bit homesick... but that was inevitable... its getting into the Holiday Season, but next week i go to Arizona ... im goin for a few days so it'll clear my head. I can't wait. Then i'll get home in time for New Years... my plans...are up in the air right now...i hear there's fireworks at golden gate bridge though... so its lookin like that for now. Oh i went to an IMAX movie... ' The Day The Earth Stood Still' it was ok...loved the Imax, but as far as that movie was concerned...it was just ok...anyway i think i'm done bloggin' though i can't help but think i've missed something...so just watch outtttt! :)

Byeeee, let the weekend begin.

Sitting on the dock of the bay....

Today I took a stroll to The Embarcadero. The Embarcadero is the eastern waterfront roadway of the Port of San Francisco. I walked the whole way from one end to the other viewing all the piers and boats ending up in Fishermans Wharf...the weather was nice, so i enjoyed the stroll...you could say its the Blackpool of San Francisco? Touristy and stuff...was nice had a clean atmosphere and alot of little shops ..there was one of those antique shops, that sell likes of signed movie posters and plaques and stuff and there was a LEFT HANDED SHOP (thought this was funny.. im not left handed so i hope no ones offended)...they also had a Bubba Gump Shrimp(but thats old news now)...but then i heard clapping and this voice over a speaker...there was some kinda show running...so i walked towards it and it was this little stage where this girl was acting and stuff...and there was 2 ppl from the audience up there...she was hilarious...she was a street performer...you can see the video ive put together of her... below...so i carried on with my journey...to where i could see Alcatraz(Just about)...it was foggy out there...couldnt really see it :( booohooo same with the Golden Gate Bridge...could only see the top of it...so i carried on round passed the sea lions(or seals) sunbathing...back onto the road...and theres break dancers...which were cool i guess...i got them on vid too...so i walk on up and theres only JOHNNY ROCKETS burger joint place thingy...but i dont have enough cash (i had 10 bucks)so i keep walking for a wells fargo or an ATM ... no luck...so 4 or 5 blocks up the road...
