San Francisco - Sights and St Regis stay

The week in the US was eye opening - from the hotel, to the scenic/touristy sights to the mega malls!
Stay at St Regis was a Wow! In the sense of the luxury one could afford. Every aspect of the hotel is very well attended to. Enjoyed the stay completely, especially with the huge bed and TV. (The only distraction is the sirens sounding in the middle of the night due to the proximity to the Fire Station. As for the mega pool, it looked almost like an exclusive, private pool. It is a pity that we did not spare sufficient time to have a dip.

Fisherman's Wharf - For many tourists to SF, this is a must go place. For the sights, Ghiradelli chocos and food! This was also the first time we hopped on the public transport. The entire journey was under 30 minutes. Pleasantly surprised at how warm the people could be, more of the middle aged folks. Some started to chat with one another even as more people piled onto the bus. An uncle even initiated that he could take a picture for us. Liked how open they could be, a very stark contrast to the 'stern and strict' faces we see on the trains daily. However, it will also be very awkward if someone were to start on conversation with you on the train. Ha...
Lunch at The Pier Market was cool - Managed to try the Sour Bread and teriyaki salmon. Prefer the salmon for its freshness while Sour Bread was a good try.

Time to shop @ Union Square - We had small pockets of time to check out Union Sq. Was quite intrigued to see how large their Nike shop was. There were 7 levels in all, packed with Nike branded merchandise and loyal customers. There was a marathon that weekend, and most of the apparel were branded and customized for that event. Their marketing efforts were quite a bang as they plastered the buildings with the participants' names, set up a mega map of the route and that attracted a frenzy of people in buying more!
