I have been to San Francisco 10 years ago with my lab partner. It took us about 2 hours flying to SF from LA. SF is a lovely and hilly city that you can meet Chinese everywhere. In Fisherman’s Wharf, we had a big meal of seafood which made us so happy. San Francisco is more rural and quiet than Shanghai. It’s a nice trip to San Francisco.
