Rojo,

Including the last one - 72 flashlights.
How many have you got?

Whoa.

Well, I think I have four. And one of them is tiny; it goes on a key chain. I like things that are miniature.

Hi sunwaiter, I felt really sorry to read about it - was it due to an accident? Hope it does not limit your professional life. I have a friend from Zurich who misses a phalanx on his right hand two, and he still can play cello in orchestra.

It does kind of make you feel nice. But on the other hand, I could've done a little better...

I am flying to San Francisco next Saturday, on 14/02/2009 and will spend a week there. Does anybody have any advice for me, which places are worth to visit there ? All I know about San Fran are Alcatraz and fish market

Hope you have a great time in San Francisco, Andrew !!!

I was in the USA for several months last year. San Francisco sounds great. Not that you're going for study but I've been told the S.F. Music Conservatory Library is remarkable.

The Bothin Library
1201 Ortega Street
San Francisco 940122

Hi Andrew

How nice - are you coming for work or to visit someone? I would offer to give you a tour, but I'm kind of stuck at home without a car and with a little one .

Places to visit.... of the top of my head
1. Wisherman's Wharf (Ripley's believe it or not is pretty cool)
Downtown/Union Square/China Town/ North Beach
Japan Town, Geary Street (
2. Alcatraz
3. Lambard street
4. Sausalito (if weather permits, you can take a ferry from the Fisherman's Wharf. If taking a car, stop by the Golden Gate View Point on the way)
5. Height Street
6. Ride a cable car (board at Downtown Powell St)
7. In East Bay - Berkeley Campus, Telegraph St /Jack London Square
8. Golden Gate Park (Japanese garden, botanical garden, museems)
9. Palace of fine Arts/Exploratorium
10. Civic Center
11. In Palo Alto - Stanford University

I'll think of more places

P.S. Andrew, do keep in mind that February is a rain month in Bay Area, so don't expect it to be warm (well, coming from Germany it probably will be quite warm for you though) and be prepared for some heavy raining!!!! Bring some good shoes, coat and umbrella if you are going to do a lot of sight seing.

[Andrew Roussak]

Hi Muza, Robert and Corno Dolce!!

THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICES!!!

Now I am beginning to study all those place in Internet...Feel myself already like I spent the half of my life in San Fran due the massive amount of information I am getting from www

Muza, thanks a lot for your tour proposal , really very nice of you! A small one is of course a great and wonderful reason for staying at home, congrats! Still, if you will have an interest / opportunity for a cup of coffee somewhere outside, just let me know, would be great! ( Is there any chance to get a cup and not a MUG of coffee in US? )

I will now copy your list of sightseeings and will begin to work on my trip... BTW, a MySpace friend of mine gave me a funny advice concerning SF - don't wear a tight pants there ( because of the gay community )...So my travelling list must look like - waterproof shoes...umbrella...coat...WIDE pants. Right?

Hey Andrew,

Did you take care of your visa? I remeber you once said on another thread you had problems with that.

Hope everything turns out ok.

Have a wonderful trip.



Cheers
