The place to go when you're fed up with USA

Well, i've been in this city for now almost a month, thus i think the time has come for me to make a small presentation of it. So, San Francisco is a little conglomeration of a million and a half inhabitants, and the dominant city of the Bay Area. A city certainly much varied, since even if each community lives in a separate neighborhood, the borders are permeable and the sidewalks are colored. With its 200,000 Chinese, and its 100,000 Latinos (and i don't talk about the gays, for whom i have no valuation), it seems to be the shelter of all the minorities which are fed up with the "Far West" spirit of the USA. A heritage following it for a long time, amongs others, the 60s. A place where each one can hope to display his differences, and live like anybody while looking like nobody. But don't imagine things, San Francisco is not easy to live everyday. First, most of the time, in the morning and the evening it looks like that :


Lots of fog coming from the bay and the Pacific ocean. So to speak, weather's not nice when fog is there, and you're wet just by walking through this suspended humidity. But these days weather is kind and is offering us sunny week ends. Nevertheless, no matter the day, there is invariably a wind that would blow a cow away !
Another thing you've got to get used to here is this :

Hills, hills, and hills again (did i tell you about the hills ?) You feel like puking each time you take a cab, so imagine when you've to get back by feet. And the worst is that i live on the top of one of these. Not surprising that i'm exhausted each time i come back from work.
But complain is over, now let's talk about this house where i live. That's the home of a lovely family, who's putting me up while i'm in SF, and will go by Sam & Jane afterwards. This couple have three sons, and all of them left the house in order to study in each corner of the USA. So much room ! Indeed, the house is pretty big. So life's cool with me these times, and we can't say that i met the average american couple. He's psychiatrist, she's photographer, and it's harder for me to follow their conversation than the one of a lambda guy in the street. All of this to say that i could have met a thousand times worst, and thus i thank by the way my aunt Colette to have such nice friends.
Apart from that, what's up in California ?? Today, third and last training session on Netsuite. I trully think this consultant was a good investment because she permitted us to focus on issues we might not have been able to see on our own. I'm not saying that i became an expert, but now the implementation should go pretty much faster. Anyway, i have no choice, since we fly to Nicaragua on satursay, where the volunteers are waiting for me to transmit them my brand new knowledge (i don't know if they're really waiting for me, but anyway this is why i'm going there).
Otherwise, big victory for the SF Giants on friday, night 3 to nothing, in spite of a slow game with no hit at all before the 5th inning. However, that was a interesting game and a pretty cool night with the usual crew of Craig's friends. By the way, the Giants' ballpark is really impressive !
