South of Market (SoMa) to Union Square

Not sure where one ended and the other began, but these are the buildings in the area.

San Francisco Chronicle.

This one taken just to include the flag. =D

Yeah, we don't care much about hair here, because the wind doesn't, and he has the say.

The intersection of Market Street and Powell Street, said to be "one of the busiest pedestrian areas in the world, averaging tens of thousands of people a day" (from the city guidebook).

Humboldt Bank --
actually I found out this name after googling; as you can see this picture was taken from afar. =P

Espionage is just one letter away.

Old Navy shop.

The Phelan Building. Nice angle.

Just for the architecture. I don't remember what this building is.

I believe they were indeed booing at me. ^^0 The train also made excellent cover of my attempt to take a picture of the homeless scattering around the city.

Two shiny Apple-s. We later went in to check out some prices. I think after currency conversion and tax (which weren't included in the price tags unlike here) it's roughly the same as in Singapore. California has pretty high tax, 8.5%.

Now this is definitely Union Square.

"The Heart of San Francisco".

They actually have an officer stationed in the Union Square to give information to visitors! This should be good for us who were so prone to getting lost.

San Francisco Shopping Centre

Unlike Singapore Shopping Centre this one does seem to be the popular one. =D The building was actually SFSC and Nordstrom; Nordstrom starts at level 4 if not mistaken, so level 4 of the building is Nordstrom level 1. Funny convention.

Nice escalator, huh?

A shop that sells oil paintings. This was the outside of the shop, taken when it had already closed for the day. Most stores closed pretty early there.

Now this was the following day when the shop was open, and I went in to take a look. Prices were expectedly high up in the sky, but man were the artworks nice. Well, actually there were also the likes that I couldn't comprehend, like this one set of paintings, each the size of a tile, with only a single numeric number on it. *shrug*

He-heh.
