Christmas Lighting and Decorations

Last night I drove around my neighborhoods to take some Christmas lighting and decorations.  At every subdivisions, there is always that one guy trying to out do all his neighbors.  In my circle, most of the houses have some kind of lights or decorations except my house. hahahhahah  I’m way too lazy to hang up all those lights, perhaps just didn’t feel like spending the money on the lights and electrical extension cords.

Even my brother got into the Christmas spirit.. Little princess posing next to the reindeer, it is hard to see.. I didn't get to play with different settings, it was really cold out..

My parents even got their lighting up and on...

My folks neighbor...

 

I like the lighting of this house... I parked across the street and set my tripod... few neighbors drove by and stop to see what am i doing..

This guy out did everybody in neighborhoods.. I've notices that he doesn't keep his light on too long like other years.

Port of San Francisco

I sure did a lot of walking this past weekend.  The weather was almost perfect for this time of the year.  There are so many people out walking around the Port of San Francisco/Ferry areas.  I managed to snapped few shots from this area.

Occupy SF

I heard on the news about “Occupy NY Stock Exchange” few months ago and didn’t pay much attention to it.  This past weekend I found myself in the middle of all protesters near Financial District in San Francisco.  Across the street from Port of San Francisco building are tents/camp ground set up and looks like they been there for weeks.  I weaved through the crowds to get few shots.

Talking about ruining the nice park..

This guy see me taking picture and he was trying to hide his face.

**disclaimer** adult viewing only please.. I couldn't believe what I saw too... smack in the middle of all the protesters, there are these two naked guys... only in san francisco

the cops are in full forces..

The Best “Dim Sum” in San Francisco

I think New Asia is probably hands down the best dim sum in San Francisco Chinatown.  This past weekend, I stop by for late lunch and people are still waiting for tables.  We waited for about 25 or 30 minutes before our numbers got called.  For some reason they only had the 1st floor open, normally both floors are full with customers.  I’ve been eating dim sum at this restaurant for at least 20 years.  But, it was the first time for my niece.  She said it was the best chicken feet ever and she ordered two bowls.  I don’t eat chicken feet at all:-).

shu mai and chicken feet..

pot stickers... we had 2 orders of it.

garlic and pepper chow fun.... so good...

1 shu mai, 2 chicken feet, 2 pot stickers, and a plate of chow fun for $20.65 is not bad at all.

This place is locate on Pacific and Stockton Streets.
