Anybody had travel or come from San Francisco?

[EagerBeaver]

I have visited San Francisco and it's an awesome city. One thing I would recommend doing is going to the small mountain/big hill on the Marin County side of the Bay. There is a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge from up there. If you have a clear day, the lookout area is actually well above the top of the bridge such that you are looking down at the top of the Bridge. I shot around 40 photos up there. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most spectacular bridges in the world. Since it was erected in 1937 or so, it became the #1 suicide destination in the world and caused a phenomenon called "suicide tourism", in which people actually travelled from around the world to SF to commit suicide off the bridge. Psychologists interviewing survivors (I think the jump survival rate is around 10% or something like that) learned people went there because they wanted to see and experience something beautiful right before they died. Around 15 years ago, the local authorities installed suicide netting to stop the wave of suicides which had reached around 1,000 if memory serves. The case that preceded that decision involved a troubled teenage girl who took a taxi to the middle of the bridge from her home and then jumped off, successfully committing suicide. Some of the studies that have been done on those who survived the jump are very interesting.

Although it's a tourist trap, I enjoyed dungness crab, sourdough bread and beer (the classic San Francisco lunch) at Alioto's on Fisherman's Wharf: http://aliotos.com/ It's worth the price because of the views of Alcatraz and the GG Bridge. They both loom spectacularly in the background, like the Empire State Building in NYC. Also if you are just ordering the dungness crab, sourdough bread and beer, it's hard to fuck that up, but you do overpay at these places and reason why is the view primarily.

Ton Kiang in the Richmond section was the best dim sum I had in my life, and also the biggest variety I ever saw. http://www.tonkiangsf.com/ton-kiang-menu-category/dim-sum

There are likely also great dim sum places in the Chinatown.

I drove down Lombard Street (most crooked street in the world) in a small pickup truck and it was pretty wild.

As far as escorts I did not see any because I stay with family that lives there.

EB knows his dim sum for sure! :tea::thumb: IMHO, Ton Kiang is the best place in SF for dim sum, but the lines are always long and if I recall correctly, they don't take reservations.

Ton Kiang wait

ShyMan,

I went to Ton Kiang with a family member and although it was crowded, we got a table after a short wait. The only problem is that my relative could not say no to anything that came out of the kitchen. There is so much variety at this place that new things are coming out of the kitchen every half hour. So when someone says yes to plates on each of the first 10 carts that get wheeled out of the kitchen, and you are stuffed, and then more trays get wheeled out with fresh and steaming dim sun that looks even better than what you just got stuffed on, it's annoying. I would recommend to anyone who goes here to pick your dishes carefully because you may see new and even tastier looking stuff coming out 30, 45 minutes or an hour after you start eating. My relative just couldn't say no to anything they wheeled out and then after we are full all this new stuff gets wheeled out. Very frustrating but at some point when you are stuffed with food, you are stuffed with food.

EB, you're right. Self restraint is very important at TK; it's like tons of beautiful ladies being paraded before your eyes . I would not mind getting stuffed with beautiful female SP's from Montréal . I stuff myself every time I engage in DATY

I get there 2 or 3 times a year. I love, Love, Love this girl:

Funny story, she (Mell Jabour) is originally from Rio and she once helped me get laid there. This was via the TER chat site and after she had moved to LA. I have not seen her since December of 2012 but she is now located in Sna Francisco and she gets 600$/hour now! She said she would see old friends for 500$. What I loved about her is that you can go through her many, many sexy photos and say "dress like you did in this photo" and she will do it. She is a 9 but she has bolt-ons.

Is she worth 600$? In San Fran, yes. In Montreal, no. In fact, last time out I had contacted her in advance. I told her I would be out and I hadn't nailed down an appointment. Since I am older now I have more (some?) self control. I never finalized my appointment. Ask yourself: 3 girls at Euphoria or 2 girls Unicorns or 1 hour with beautiful Mell?

I would like to break into the K-doll market. Anyone know how?

June can be cold one day and hot the next, but you'll always want to have a jacket or a warm wool sweater.

I once smoke a very expensive Cuban cigar at the Union Square (across from the Westin) on a very warm summer night;

Sometimes cold damp foggy air can roll in from the ocean and make things clammy. On the matter of the Cuban, all you need is a true blue Merican to report you and you will be in the custody of the SFPD.
