Finally, I had the chance to upload and edit those photos taken at San Francisco when I was there for business trip a month ago.
We stay at Serrano Hotel. A rather authentic hotel which was situated in the city.
Yes, we went sailing at the coast of San Francisco. For most of us ladies, it was our 1st sailing experience, luckily neither of us got sea sick.
Yes it was sunny but at the same time it was cold. The sea breeze made us so relax that we almost forgotten that we were here on a business trip. Well at least that's the thought I had...haha, not too sure for the rest of the guys though..
Still at Fisherman's Wharf - window shopping.
Look at the pigeon, so fat and juicy. Looking at it make me think of "roasted pigeon"...haha
Look at the strawberries, so big and juicy. At the store, you can purchase these strawberries and dip them into chocolates and start munching away.
All along the street they have shop that sell oyster with pearl in it. Each of them cost about USD15.00.
Food, food and food....look at the baby lobsters and crabs. My god, they are so fresh and nice. Most importantly, they are cheap as compared to SG. I had a plate of oysters, and they cost me about USD$6.00...yummy...Make me want to go back for more... *drooling...*
In SFO, there's this famous restuarant - The Cheesecake Factory, their food are nice and they serve extremely delicious cheesecake.
There is it. My favourite tortoise. You can find hundreds of it kind at the bakery - Boudin at the Wharf, along Fisherman's Wharf. This is a 2-storey building where visitors can see how the bread are made. You can also learn about the story of the famous sourdough French bread, how it is made. Most importantly, all bread are fresh from the oven!
Some scenic views of San Jose, where we were there for meeting and training.
Gilroy Premium Outlets - The shopping paradise! Yes, this is the famous shopping paradise south of San Jose. There is a total of 145 outlet stores, to name a few: Banana Republic, Levis, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Coach etc.
We took about 2 hours to get here. First, by Caltrain from San Francisco to San Jose, and from San Jose we hopped onto a bus that take us to Gilroy Caltrain and then a 5-min cab ride to our destination. Though tired, but all these travelling are worth it, and you can definitely find some good bargain here.
In order to be efficient in shopping we tried to take a snap of the directory on our camera. Guess what, a staff from a nearby store saw us and she offered each of us a Gilroy directory. Thanks! It really help, else we have to go hunting around for the specific shops.
But, a note to those who are going on your own, remember to plan the trip well so that you can catch the last bus back in time to catch the train so that you dun can stranded at the country side.
Finally, it's time to head home. On our way home, we had to stopover at Korea for an hour. I'm missing SFO already. When will we be going there again? I hope soon...=)
