Friday evening and I am returning home from a little stores' tour around Union Square. That is the more touristy, commercial area and primarily satisfies those who wish to buy a Californian license plate, have a laugh at the sexy books at Urban Outfitters (e.g. the sex coupon booklets for couples) - or be greeted by those here: "Welcome to the GAP, how are you doing today"? The Walgreens there actually sells Ritter Sport chocolate and Nutella, probably a tribute to the German au pairs here in SF. And sure enough, only one aisle away, one of those bumped into me. No offence, but it seems it is either the Germans or the Chinese who bump without regret.So, do I dare to venture into Chinatown tomorrow? San Francisco's Chinese New Year Parade is coming up, truly a major event! Tonight at Union Square, TV stations were already preparing their broadcasting sets. See the floodlight instalment in the above photograph? Yeah, I think I will dare to go.
