How to convince a woman to shop...

...as if any woman needed any excuse to shop anyway ;-) 

Low suspensions

When I saw this car I immediately thought of Ramone:

Flo: Well, then let's cruise, baby.
Ramone: Low and slow.

begging for your life

Seagulls in SF should be extremely dangerous, if even a Lioness begs for her life, when teared with powerful talons.

The opposite of engRish is hsiRgne?

If Japanese English is often called Engrish, how do you call English Japanese? Hsirgne?

The Golden Gate Bridge

A must in San Francisco is a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge, which takes its name from "Chrysopylae", the name given by Captain Fremont to the strait connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. More facts and details on this beautiful bridge - still considered the symbol of San Francisco and California - can be found here, here, and here.

The true American symbol...

I wish I had this sky in Tokyo.

At the origin of the most famous hamburger

This place in San Bernardino is where the most famous hamburger chain in the world started, back in 1940. Do you notice anything strange?

Winter in Sarajevo

"Winter in Sarajevo" was the first thing I thought when I saw this parking lot in Santa Monica, LA.

Fancy Cat

In US you can have a normal, sequential license plate, for your car. Or, at an additional fee, you can customize the message of the plate (see for example the website of the California Department of Motor Vehicle).

Today, I found a FaNCY CAT:

Proud to be an American!

Americans might have a lot of defects, but for sure they are patriotic in a way nobody else in the world is.

The flag of the United States of America consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 U.S. states and the 13 stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies that rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union. Nicknames for the flag include "the Stars and Stripes" and "Old Glory". [more info]

The National Flag is almost everywhere!
