So, my trip to Northern California is pretty much ending tomorrow.

Prepare for poorly written things, because I did this in roughly 5-10 minutes.

April 19th: Flew into San Francisco airport at roughly 9 PM, went to hotel in SF.

Stayed overnight, a strange, jet-lag filled night.

April 20th: Drove an hour North into Sonoma County, paying attention to the scenery around the highway and up to here. The scenery is unimpressive and repetitive compared to what I've seen before.
Got to a hotel to stay in after the drive (About 2 PM). Stayed at hotel for the rest of the day.

April 20th-26th: Went around to a few places in the so-called "wilderness" around here. Most of the scenery bores me still, my parents continue to want me to go with them.
My parents have been to some of the wineries, of which most are old, decrepit, ugly buildings with only one last purpose.
Went to SF a couple times, to China Town and Japan Town. Those two places were quite nice, with unique restaurants, items, and landmarks. Japan Town, as I could say, nearly fulfilled all of my weeabooish whims (which there aren't many of). I didn't really buy much, to tell the truth, just a couple manga books and other little items from the shopping complex.
China Town just had a lot of pretty yet low-quality items with somewhat low prices; Japan Town was all the more expensive. Had some of the food from those places, et cetera.
Went to the North Bay, an old, antique part of San Francisco. It was nice to an extent, however there was something about it that I did not like. The rest of San Francisco was impressive in some places, but crappy in others. I drove through a part called "Height Ashbury" District, which was probably one of the most terrible places I've ever driven through. It's filled with hippy-people and goths. My Lord...
Well, it sounds as though I didn't like San Francisco, but I did overall.
I'd give it an 8/10 for being a... Different city. However, some parts were a little too different for my taste. inb4acceptmoar

I'd give Sonoma County an 8/10 as well. It wasn't that bad, and had a nice suburban feel along with a modern aspect to it. However, the old aspect to it wasn't of my taste either.

April 27th: I'm just messing around in the hotel, with hardly anything to do apart from swim/compute/whatever.

April 28th: I'm leaving.

So, this was a bad reiteration and I should feel bad for writing it.


Thoughts?

I've also heard that there are Smashers around here... Oh wait! I don't care!

Personally, I'd like to visit San Diego again, along with the rest of Southern California. It's a desert, it has more of a modern feel to it, and I thoroughly enjoyed San Diego and Los Angeles. Seaworld and Universal Studios were both amazing parks.

Also, Yosemite National Park... Quite the impressive place if you ask me.


No Cool Story Bros, pl0x.


Edit: Wow, this doesn't fatal error.

Nice to hear you enjoyed Chinatown and Japantown...

Well then. Sayonara. Don't let the door hit your *** on the way out.

I rate this blog 7.9/10.

Edit: It's "Haight-Ashbury," btw.
