Chinatown Hardwired?

I set off into SF looking for Union Square. Market Street was easy enough to find. Rather than look like a total tourist newb, I opted to just punt around without looking at the map.

Somehow, I managed to find Chinatown without trying.

A NY Chinese guy finds Chinatown SF. Who'd a thunk it?

Do we instinctively know where to go?



Well, SF Chinatown feels like NY Chinatown, smells like NY Chinatown (incense), sounds like NY Chinatown (annoying toy noises) but it doesn't have the hustle & bustle, fish stank, dirty, blackened streets like NY Chinatown.

I liked this intersection.



EvilBuddha go down the hole.
Well, not really. I was deliriously tired by this time.

More to come.
And I declare the Castro is really, really gay.
