- The number of homeless people living in San Francisco is astounding. And they stay right there in the heart of the city, a few meters away from the chic luxury stores. One second you are looking at a Gucci shop window and the next thing you see is people playing dices for money on the street in front of an erotic club.
- Only in California you can pay at a farmer’s market with a credit card.
- You can find soft drinks and junk food in a sports equipment shop (and in many other places they don’t really belong to).
- Having a walk in the bay area (any place beside San Francisco) feels weird. You are the only one walking and there is absolutely nothing but houses and fast foods for miles.
- The weather is amazingly good.
- Product features include a list of “No X”, where X can be just about anything. Does not matter whether “X” is provenly bad or not. I guess it’s very easy to start a collective psychosis: just put “No potatoes” on a product and everybody will start worrying about potatoes.
- People are tall.
- Cisco has offices in Cisco Way.
- Traffic is awful. However when there is not traffic driving is great.
- There are 2 kinds of people: those with an iPhone and those with some other smartphone. The latter are a minority.
- Halloween is a serious thing. People don’t mind waiting hour-long queues to get into bars.
- Everything come in XL size. 8 lanes highways, seriously?
- Most beers taste like hop juice, let alone IPAs.
- iPhone covers are used to express your personality.
- Nobody drinks water. Only soft drinks, power drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks. At least it needs to contain added vitamins, colorants, and come in a grillion flavors.
- When you go out for dinner you don’t choose the restaurant, you choose the nationality.
- In San Francisco people stop you to tell you how much they appreciate your look.
