When I am in San Fran, like so many cities, I typically find that my favorite activity is having sex with the locals. There is no better way of getting to know what the local people are like than by having intercourse with them.

Kan Zaman restaurant on Haight Street, and the best view in the city, on the hill overlooking Haight-Ashbury. You can see from the ocean to downtown.

So vic on your other post you are looking for things to do yet you have 100 things you've done already?

vic Apr 25th, 2002 02:20 PM

I don't get it. Someone posts a similiar question on the Europe board regarding Paris and they get a list of 100 interesting experiences. I post this and what do I get. 100 people questioning my intent. (Except Susan and a few others). This is one nasty board.
