Take away all the dizzying noisy crowded tourist destinations, and one can actually see the real San Francisco.
Simple, transparent, laid back, beautiful, haunting, a City unique yet universally home to every person who choose to be a part of it.
On a quiet day, it’s hums nostalgia. On a clear day, it breathes freedom and rebellion. When no one’s watching, it’s allows itself to be vulnerable to those who deserves it.
It’s steps, welcoming like Time skipped and preserve its youth and innocence.
It’s Architecture, a reminder that there is wonder and magnificence in what’s old, and modernism is not for everyone.
Sometimes, one forgets it’s 2021 because we never really left the 70’s. The good stuff of the Golden Era we kept. It’s vibe and lifestyle we intertwined with our present day evolution.
San Franciscans are resilient. They are eclectic. Their thinking questions, their beliefs brings change. They are bold, outspoken, broad minded, curious, accepting, innovative, tolerant, chilled, artistic, dreamy. They are what defines the City, and not the City defining them.
Wasteland to Wonderland? Very San Francisco.
On your next SF visit. Skip the usual and walk the normal. I promise, you will see what I see and experience the extraordinary.
Art is Art. Love is Love. Beauty is Beauty. Life is Life. People are People.
San Francisco sees me the way I want to be seen, and that is something I can’t just find anywhere else.

Hello from Singapore! Beautiful post. So poetic too. 🙂 Now that you mentioned it, those houses do look like from the 70s. Argh, we missed exploring SF when we did our California 1 road trip. We were too sick to go around after driving down from Tahoe. 🙂 Maybe someday our family could visit again. 🙂 — Amor

I wish to see both in the future. All that we got to do last time was see the Golden Gate Bridge, which was amazing, but I knew there are more to SF. 🙂

Being on the tip of a hilly peninsula, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the United States of America. I love its modern skyscrapers as much as its charming Victorian-style buildings and the bridges that cross the San Francisco Bay. Can’t wait to visit one day 🙂 Aiva

Lovely photos! It took me back to when I visited 10 years ago this past summer. 🙂
I remember when we took the double decker bus through the Golden Gate Bridge it was so windy and foggy. Couldn’t see a thing! But when we got to the other side and saw the bridge, it was awe-inspiring.
The steep up and down hills were also interesting. I remember taking the tram up the hill and it stopped. My heart stopped thinking we were going to roll back downwards the steep hill. 😂
The houses are so beautiful in the city. So classy and love the colorfulness of the homes. So vibrant.
And when we walked down Castro Street, a naked man walked by. Let’s just say my mother-in-law’s facial reaction made me laugh.

Thanks Ab. That is one fun, exciting, happy SF adventure. Naked Man walking in public sounds very SF. On Santa Day, there’s Naked Santa’s in Union square with only a holiday sock covering Santa’s private part. People are not shocked at all. Wife and I actually got a picture with Naked Santa. Son was too embarrassed to join. Hmm, might do Santa Day again this year if it’s back post pandemic. Happy weekend my friend.
