For the last days here in the city I am walking around the streets of San Francisco. Here is some photos of what you will see while exploring the city by foot. Have good shoes on, be ready to climb the hills. Many of the buildings and houses have the characteristic bay windows. Car parked at steep angles on the streets of San Francisco . Chinatown in San Francisco. Just like being in the other part of the world. Not everyone have the resources they need and the line outside the soup kitchen is long every day. Too cool. …and then came internet. You know the food is fresh when the chef comes direct from the fish market with dinner for today. Union square decorated for Christmas with SF finest having a break in front of the tree. Cool Lamborghini. Around the city you will find several walls covered in street art. There is also guided tours to see the different pieces. Relaxing at the Delta Lounge at San Francisco International airport, SFO. My SAS flight ready to depart from SFO. Last lounge stop at Copenhagen airport before returning to Norway. San Francisco have been fun with a wide variety […]

While walking from the Parc55 hotel to find breakfast I stumble upon the 2016 International Autoshow San Francisco at Moscone Center. I guess this is a guy (and girl) thing, new cool cars from automakers all around the world seasoned with some light clothed girls next to them. The $10 ticket was well worth it to get a chance to both see normal affordable cars and dream cars that just a few people would be able to buy. Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, top car makers, race cars and also classic cars from a past era. This post will not have a lot of text just enjoy the photos. The 2016 International Auto Show San Francisco . I guess this was the cheapest thing at the venue. Zonda and Bugatti opens the show. The Pagani Huayra     Approved from the back also. Pagani Huayra art. Lost for words here.

Now I will visit The city of the bay San Francisco for the first time. As before I have found some cheap airline tickets with SAS from Oslo Norway. The flight is first from Oslo to Copenhagen, then direct to San Francisco. On my list of things to do is seeing the city, visiting Alcatraz, renting a car and take a ride on the famous cable car trough the streets of San Francisco. Leaving Kristiansand (KRS), heading towards Oslo (OSL) with SAS airlines. The Star Alliance gold lounge at the international part of OSL is refurbished and looks now like a nice waiting room. Too much chairs lined up and not a good lounge feeling. Facing the plane that will take me to San Francisco from Copenhagen. After 11 hours from Copenhagen I arrive in San Francisco with my friend that is also coming along for this trip. The luggage arrived without any damage and I have asked a not so friendly lady at the information booth about the easiest way to get to down town San Francisco, we are now heading for the BART. The BART is the bay area rapid transport. The train will take us to Powell street station, […]

Thursday night and now it is time for dinner and a show in Tokyo. First up is a traditional restaurant located in Shibuya before attending a show in Roppongi at Roppongi Kaguwa. Eating out in Tokyo means fresh ingredients and a wide range of courses to choose from. Open kitchens where the food is prepared in front of you, several small dishes makes trying new courses a great experience. Expect to wait in line outside the most popular restaurants. Be prepared for a menu only in Japanese and limited English. Mr head chef preparing the order on a grill. Sitting around the kitchen area makes dining out a social experience. First course served, lamb from the grill. Hotpot is up next. Make sure you take your time, eating out in Tokyo is a social food experience that should not be rushed. Samsung have decorated the street for Christmas with a million galaxy lights. In Norway a Christmas three is found in the woods, here it is more fancy design, marry Christmas. This seems like the right area, this guy straight out of kill bill smoking a cigarette is heading the same way. Here you get all traditional Japanese entertainment in […]
