Thai food at ASHA

The "bushman", scare people and get paid

Very atypical way to ask for dimes for an homeless: in the earth of Fisherman Warf, the touristic part of the SF bay, this man, hidden behind leaves, pretends to be a bush, and once you walk close to him, he jumps on you, provokating laughs and yells!!!
His basket was full of bucks...

Bye Luca

It is really the worst thing to receive such a bad news when you are far away from home.. A friend of mine, Luca, died yesterday night in an accident with a motorbike he was testing in order to decide if to buy it; he clashed with an ambulance and died in few minutes... I didn't hang out with him in the recent years, but he was a friend of mine when I was younger.. I don't know precisely what to say, but these few lines want to be a token to his memory..
Bye Luca,
Marco.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: "JEWEL"!!!

Now my life in SF is complete... i bought this bike in a bike shop in the mission.. Ok doesn't seem to be the best of the world, but I only payd it 70$ (the label said 65, but everything here has to be charged by taxes).. it has a vintage soul, and I decided to call "her" Jewel.. Mauricio, you could "adopt" her when I'll leave!!!

PROJECT PARKOUR: TEMPORARLY SUSPENDED

Yes my friends, my project to begin doing Parkour has to wait; in fact last week-end, while moving out from my July house, a piece of a bed felt on my hand and my little finger (the italian mignolo!!) splitted in two like an apple!!
Five shots of anaesthesya in it, really painful!!!
Don't get scared!!!

FRISCO DISCO: night in pure San Francisco Style

Saturday night: FRISCO DISCO @ ARROW CLUB .. If you don't go there you can't say to have been in San Francisco!!!

BRAIN WASH LAUNDRY - LAUNDRY CAFÈ

This is where I get my clothes cleaned.. usually drop-off cleaning, today I've been FORCED to do regular one.. or better they did it for me!!!

Few (sorry!) highlist from the Exploratorium

The exploratorium is a great place where you can put your hands on tons of experiments, based mainly on phisic laws, engines working and human perpection.. Moreover it is full of children experimenting everything, playing with stuffs and satisfying their curiosity.. It was weird to wait in line with 10 children in order to see me as a Lilliputian!!!

MAC R_U_L_E_S !!!

HMMMM... SWEET!!!

SANTA CRUZ - BANDS AND POKER

This week end SANTA CRUZ, the quintessential beach town. It was here that Hawaiian royalty first introduced surfing to the mainland--and locals and visitors alike have been riding the waves ever since..

During the night I've been in a bar where I've assisted a concert of a touring band (there are a lot of them in California); do you remember the "Gilmore girls"?!?!

But the best part of the night still had to come.. I went to one of my roomates brother's house (the dirtyest house I've ever seen!!!), where I've played a poker tournament with other 5/6 people quite experienced; well, you won't beleive me but I've won the whole gambling!!!
It was my first game, before I only watched tournaments on TV...
