| Our hotel lobby, SF |
We checked into our hotel in downtown SF last night and had a good rest.
We had a relaxing breakfast provided by the hotel.

Walking is our favourite way of seeing a city.

| A sofa made of recycled newspaper |
Staying in a downtown hotel, we were able to walk to many places close by.

| A matching bench made of recycle newspaper, SF, USA |
We walked by an the Arts Hotel and saw some interesting art work.
I liked the the two sofas made of used newspaper sitting in the hotel lobby.

| China Town, San Francisco, USA |
Close to China Town, Little Italy is just right next to it.
We browsed in a couple of antique furniture/ home accessory stores selling many huge interesting decorating and home furnishing item. There was one black table with a stone mosaic top but no price tag. Out of curiosity, I asked for the price - it was asking for US$ 25,000.00!!!
Ridiculously expensive tables. I do not like being in stores where there are no price tags on the items for sale. We got out of there without buying anything, great!

| WE visited a tea shop in China Town, SF |
We were attracted by the big tea pot sculpture outside the store.
 |
| Many different teas were displayed in the tea house. |
There were many different kinds of teas displayed on the store shelves available for sale inside the tea house.
 |
| A cup of tea too pretty to drink! |
Some teas were for drinking as well as for decorating and for display like these ones here.

| Another pretty cup of tea at the Tea Shop |
There were also teas available for tasting in the store.
Not an alcoholic drinker, I was glad to rest our tired feet with a nice milk tea.
After our tea, we had more energy to shop in the other stores in China Town. We found and bought a nice Christmas present for E. - an expandable soft luggage bag! It was perfect!
Later on in the evening, we met E. at a Ramen Restaurant,He wanted to take us out for some dinner in the evening but S. didn't feel like a heavy dinner. So he took us to a Ramen restaurant close to where we were. The Ramen was really good! Since S. was not feeling too well, the soup noodles were perfect for him.
It was our first time tasting Ramen and we liked it!
E. was still busy with his end of the year report matter which he needed to finish, It was good for him to take a break with us. He was talking a lot during our meal and we enjoyed his sharing.
Eager to take us around, E. took us to walk around Union Square looking for the Winter Walk but it was closed by 8pm; by the time we got there we were a little too late.
