Some of you – especially those following me on only Twitter and not Facebook – might
have wondered why I was so quiet for the last couple of days: The reason for that
is pretty simple – I haven’t been around. And, as there is an agreement between 
Inka and me to not publish when I’m not around and reveal that she’s home alone,
I kept my mouth shut. But, since I’m back in Germany since hopefully about half 
an hour (this post is scheduled), I can finally talk about what I found to be one
of my Top 5 destinations in the world.

I took an occasion I couldn’t let pass by to finally get my ass up and into a plane
to visit a good old friend of mine and the beautiful city of San Francisco.

Probably the things that I experienced are way too much to put into a single blog
post, however I’d like to at least notice the most impressive things I whitnessed.
Just take it as a conversation starter next time we’ll meet.

– Many dogs
 – Great weather – 45° steep roads – One of the best public transportation
systems I know – a very logical numbering concept for houses – Great weather – great
people, old and maybe new friends to come – Affordable hotels – Not-so-affordable
mobile phone fees – Chaotic driving – Very nice neighborhoods without too many skyscrapers–
A great amount of fresh, organic, beautiful produce just waiting for you to cook
with it. – And oh: what a view!

Do’s:
 – Use Public Transport – Just walk around – Make sure to maybe not book a
hotel, but a flat instead. At least make sure that you can cook your own meal after
shopping at the Ferry Building. – Take a guided tour – Plan your trips using BART
and CalTrain – Visit Flight 001 – Stay at the Hotel Vertigo (not just because of
the song that will be stuck in your head for the whole time you’re in SF)

Don’t:
 – Rental car. It’s more of a burden than a release when being in Downtown
SF – Expect to see everything – the city is just too big for that – Have bad sushi.
Life’s too short for bad sushi. – Visit the Apple Flagship Store. Better visit the
nice and cozy Company Store (http://www.apple.com/companystore/) in on 1 Infinite
Loop, Cupertino, CA.

And one thing is sure: I’ll be back. With a little more time, hopefully my significant
other and an empty agenda to be filled.
