Do any of you live in San Francisco? If so do you have a room to rent? I'm going down for a 3 month assignment and figured I would ask here first rather than get a Craigslist ad.
I'll be working on the north end of the island. California Pacific hospital. The closer the better.
Cool. I'll hit you up. I'm either going to get a roommate situation or I'm going to fly down weekly and stay in a hostel or call room. I was gonna bring my rv but the commute will be a bitch in my truck plus finding parking. I'll just take my bike and leave it locked at the hospital.
Won't have time for that. I will get some urban biking and longboard riding in though. Good news is that I get a month off in a couple weeks and with the amount of pay they give up in SF I can probably take the winter off this year and ride every day. Doubt I will though. May work until January then take Feb through April off.
@snowklinger the sushi has been excellent in Japantown, I work by it and park in it. There are like 10 sushi bars between work and my truck, I have to seriously resist the urge every day, I have stopped a few times though.
oh and I ended up going the RV route. I commute 2 weeks from Santa Rosa, then a week in candlestick park, then 2 weeks in San Jose, then a week in candlestick, rinse repeat....
I camp for free at these particular parks so I am saving quite a bit of money doing it this way. I FUCKING HATE TRAFFIC though and it is driving me nuts. I forgot how much I hate it. Oh well, I will be here until Oct, then off to the beaches of mexico for a month. I am going to come back again for 10 weeks but after Jan I will be off the rest of the season riding as much as possible while my son competes again this season.
dont take this the wrong way, usually nobody takes the time to explain this to us. I'm not callin u out, but explaining it to everyone else who likely doesnt know.
fwiw: putting your chopsticks into a bowl like that is not cool. you can ignore it and forge ahead like everyone else, but it is offensive.
it is reminiscent of a couple different funeral rites across Asian cultures and has connotations of wishing death or bad luck. (incense sticks pointing up in a temple or at a grave, also 2 chopsticks are placed straight up in a bowl of rice at japanese funerals)
if you were wondering if that guy in the background is giving u the stinkeye, he is. (he's like, "fuck i'm old, give me a sec with the upright sticks while i eat some noodles bruh!")
you lay your sticks flat across the bowl or somewhere else. (I always make a little origami kickstand out of my wrapper if they are disposables that came in paper...)
Lol, good catch, he was giving me the stink eye(he literally had one eye and the one looking at me in the picture was not his good one)as soon as i sat down. I was the only non-chinese person in the place.
I knew it was Japanese as my grandparents got me onto the traditions since they lived there for 20 years. Didnt think of it being Chinese also since they have some deep seeded hate towards each other(at least that older generation tends to). It 2as only he and I at this table and i kinda did it purposefully for about 5 seconds. When i sat down I gave a cordial bow to another guy in him and the other guy smiled and responded in like, this guy just one eyed me......
I stayed up there for 2 weeks and hit it up once. Ill be back there in another week for 2 more weeks. There are a few good breweries up in the area from Santa Rosa to Cloverdale. Good wine too. My wife and i did a day of tasting room action and will do it again in 2 weeks, probably in Healdsburg.
Check Wilson, Matrix, and I think it's Mazzoco. Did a wine tour in that area a few years ago. The red zinfandel in the area is pretty amazing. It also seems to be one of the better pinot areas too.
Allright, I came back and tried it again. Got a growler full. Maybe it just tastes better after work but i will try it again in the morning to make sure. :grin:
I dont like IPAs in general it was on the bitter end of ipa too. Maybe like unicorn piss? Lol. I actually stayed about a mile from the brewery in santa rosa for a week.
