There are hawkers all over the sidewalks handing out business cards advertising “services” (heh heh heh, nudge nudge, wink wink).
They used to loiter in front of the hotels until the hotels went legit and wanted them gone.
But they are entitled to hawk their wares on the sidewalk, as long as they don’t block it.
Walking down the strip at night, you collect a lot of these.
One creative way to dispose of them…
Great Combo!
Seen at the Bellagio last week…
High stakes gambling. High carb food. Put the two together…
DANGER!! =P
Continuing the ice cream theme
So I went with my flatmates to dinner and then to Ghiradelli (say Gear-a -delli) Square for dessert. Well, actually we went to the Ghiradelli Chocolate shop. The flagship shop!
This is called a S’more sundae. It has caramel sauce, hot fudge, marshmallow creme and oh yah, a caramel chocolate square and a maraschino cherry. And there was vanilla ice cream too.
It was soooo loaded that it began to melt just from everyone looking at it.
But I was the one that ate it. Geez, I’m sooooo bad!
Mmmm Coffee!
This makes sense for some reason…
| You Are Coffee Ice Cream |
 You’re doing a million things at once and doing them well. You tend to motivate others and raise spirits. You are most compatible with chocolate ice cream. |
So tired Lah!
I walked all the way from New York New Yourk to Paris via Monte Carlo!
And boy are my feet tired! Yeah, weak attempt at humour…
Granted these are casinos on the strip, but they’re still a looong ways apart!
So I was walking through the Bellagio and saw this.
Now what is it you ask? Well, 
Apparently, it’s the worlds biggest chocolate fountain. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen out here so far…
Can you imagine being smothered in that stuff? Waaaah! Just thinking calorie-filled thoughts here…
LA Culinary Adventures!
Well, that’s kind of misleading…
It’s more of a “redux” kind of tour. Follow:
I had Tommy’s for dinner. Mmmmm, Tommy’s breath!
I went to Manny’s (AKA Chano’s) for lunch. Hot sauce!
And yesterday, I had to do the obligatory In n’Out run since I AM in Southern California now.
This is gonna blow my diet out of the water. Thankfully, I’ve been having light breakfasts to compensate…
On da road again…
Yup, I’m “itchy scratchy” and I’m down in Southern California for a few days.
Actually, I’m in LA for a few days and then I’m hightailing it to Las Vegas for a few days more.
And naturally, since I’m going to be down here longer than a weekend, I decided to drive down (since it’s great to have a car down here).
Normally, I wouldn’t do the drive if I was staying here for just a weekend. Any period of time longer than that would be prohibitively expensive, since I gotta rent a car and all that.
It’s not too hot down here so far. They’re still going through “June gloom” down here. However, the weather in Vegas is extremely hot!
40+ degrees!!! But thankfully no humidity like BKK. It’s still hot though.
Peeple knead two reed!
What is it with San Francisco people? Not the Natives, the newbies.
Alledgedly, San Francisco people are the most edu-ma-cated according to various polls and worthless surveys. Yet when it comes to reading, they dun do it! The excuses are myriad, such as “I was too busy because I was: (surfing porn, cutting my toenails, dealing with windows, eating) while “trying” to read the blog.
Like reading this takes a lot of friggin’ effort?!?
I’ve been online with frens from disparate places such as New York City, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore who read and appreciate this! Cannot tell me that they have lots of spare time to spare!
San Francisco, compared to these cities, is a sleepy burb. So enough with the excuses already! That’s why the title of the blog has been changed.
Just a little…
Absolute BS (sort of)
So on the way back from the Headlands (see previous entry), there was a gently curving road that was fun until we hit this red light.
Read that sign underneath the signal. FIVE MINUTE LIGHT?!? And no countdown signal or anything!
But it’s there for a good reason since the tunnel you enter after the light has ONE lane.
But it still can use a countdown timer at that friggin’ five-minute light…
Went for a Ride
Went for a ride on my motorbike with a friend who was breaking in his last weekend. It was a fun jaunt through Marin ending at the Marin Headlands (at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge).
At the other end of the Headlands is Point Bonita. There’s been a lighthouse there for a billion years.
But nowadays, instead of lighthouses, the modern solution is radar and electronically controlled foghorns.
