After a seriesof activities, I am back in San Francisco. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back again. The city rebuilt itself after the earthquake occurred in 1906, which claimed over 3,000 lives and destroyed most of the constructions. My hotel is near downtown in the Mission District, which used to be a poor area, but now it is a centre for art, music, and diverse food. First I walked along the neat streets appreciating the street art. Afterwards, I ate some ethnic dishes and spicy snacks. In the afternoon, I headedto a local museum where a collection of items showed the historical changes in California and bought some souvenirs there. In 1848, gold was discovered near San Francisco,bringingabout the gold rush. A large number of immigrants came to seektheirfortune in San Francisco. To earnaliving, some Chinese opened up restaurants and bars in Chinatown and settled in the city. In the evening, I selected a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown for dinner. The moment I tasted the super meal, a sigh of satisfaction escaped my lips. What great food!
