    Getting the Full San Francisco Experience II

    When you've stayed in a city for a little while, you start to learn some little things...

    1) When you have a party, tell everyone it's at 7 if you want them to get there by 9. I thought it's a HK thing, but I guess it's a Cali thing too..
    2) When you pay cash on the muni for a ticket, you'll get a transfer that is supposed to last 90min, but if you're lucky and your driver was feeling generous, you may end up getting one that gives you a few more hours and you end up going and coming back on the same ticket... oh and it's for unlimited transfers within that time.
    3) Having MSG in your food seems the norm here, so if you are allergic, either learn to cook or be really careful with your food (esp if you're Asian).
    4) The Muni monthly cards are good for three days after the month that the card is for.
    5) Californians seem to be less passionate about traveling. They're happy just being in CA. They are more easily content about their lives. No issue. Just observation.
    6) The ATMs here are all outdoors. I have yet to see one indoors where I can deposit my money without looking every which way. Sheesh.

    And the list may go on...
