Hey guys, some pics from my recent study abroad to the west coast of America. Visited SF a few times, awesome city :)
The pictures seem to be over-sharpened, but Flickr is resizing them down from 5 MP full size, so considering that it hasn't done a bad job at all IMO.
1. At China town, had lunch at some restaurant, walked out and took this photo. Nice, cheap food!

2. More china town

3. Signs are in Chinese even

4. About a 20 minute walk from China town, on the way to Coit tower (pictured below). Shows how hilly SF is, and we think Auckland is bad!

5. Some famous bank-ish building, I forget
