bits and pieces of my life.: Chinatown San Francisco

I am finally writing my travel journal when I am about to leave this beautiful city. Still amazed by the fact that I could be here and experience everything I could never dream of. Kick start the posts with the travel journey at Chinatown and I promise there are more to come. Planning to write something more relevant to my daily life such as the living expenses in another post so it could be a reference for those who are planning to do Work and Travel in San Francisco.

倒数即将离开这个美丽的城市，我终于开始了我的旅行日记。在这里会记录去过的地方和一些吃过的东西，纯粹记录和分享。后面有机会也会写写比较生活化的方面，比如帐单，住宿和交通让想要来三藩市体验打工旅行的朋友了解一下。毕竟这里的生活费真的没有想象的低。无论如何还是很感恩有机会来到这里打工旅行，体验不一样地生活和认识一群很棒的朋友。

Never know there is any other place that could get more Chinese than here. We are surprised by the stuffs we could get here. Chinese restaurants, drugstores, raw ingredients and seasonings. It is really a Little China! Everyone speaks Cantonese since most of them are immigrants from Guangdong, China and Hong Kong. We followed the walking trail suggested by National Geography Traveler. Restaurants we had been to are recommended by Yelp and Tripadvisor.

第一次来这里真的有被震撼到。没想到美国也有这么中国的一面，觉得自己真的孤陋寡闻了。这里比马来西亚的华人街更“华人”上几倍。从华人餐厅，中药行，原材料到调味都应有尽有。根本不会有想家或想吃中餐却吃不到的悲哀。这里的华人都说广东话，也听得懂中文，因为大多数都是广东和香港移民。我的观光路线是参考国家地理频道的书籍。餐厅是网路搜寻的。后面会一一介绍。

You can walk Jackson Street to get a glance of the everyday life of the people here. It is where people run groceries and spend their day in the coffee house. You get to see old folks sipping coffee and chitchatting in the chinese style coffee shop.

如果想看生活化一点的华人街可以去Jackson街。那里有很多卖蔬果，鱼，肉和点心的店家。这里是老百姓每天买菜和喝茶的聚集点。
