Day 12 - San Francisco
... hosted by one of the hostel workers Joseph. He was originally from Peru but has been living in San Francisco for about 5 years - very funny guy. The walking tour took us across Union square and then through China Town where we were taken past a fortune cookie factory, we were welcomed in, given free fortune cookies and saw how they were made by hand. On our way back onto the alley way an old guy appeared out of his barber shop and gave us a couple of renditions on ...

I got into San Francisco around 6.45am and go the bus to my hostel, I couldn't check in and couldn't use the bathroom to freshen up as you needed your room key that I didn't have. So I headed out feeling grim. My next mistake was walking into Macy's with a sale on (oh, so that is where my money is going) When I went ...
