hello to the house. well, this past weekend i went to san fran. it's interesting how cities are built so differently. the architecture there is so beautiful. my friend's apartment building use to be an old victorian house and still maintains much of the character from back in the day (i.e. servant's stairs!). plus everything is much more compact than l.a., which is a common out-of-towners' complaint ("l.a. is so spread out. you have to drive everywhere."). it makes more sense to walk or take the public transportation in the city. i like the idea of walking and having everything nearby. but i would still miss driving (even though i'm sitting in traffic most of the time). but i guess there are always pros and cons.
